The Step Up^TM Slide Warmer is designed for use in the fields of cytology, histology, and biology. It is also an ideal choice for laboratories, schools (recommended for grades 11 and up) and scientific research organizations. . The new design of the Step Up^TMsurface allows for easier and safer ability to pick up slides than ever before because one end of the slide extends off the heated “steps”. The Slide Warmer also has an electrophoretic surface coating. The Step Up^TM Slide Warmer is able to warm slides by heating the tubes and is able to spread the heat throughout the entire surface.
