Health Care Lab Workstation
Mystaire Misonix introduces the WS6 downflow workstation, designed especially for histology and pathology laboratory analysis, ideal for health care facilities. The compact, versatile design of the WS6 makes a variety of installation formats possible for user convenience. By drawing contaminated air downward into the stainless steel work surface, the machine provides containment of potentially harmful vapors present when cutting or staining samples. Contaminated air is then drawn through a two-stage filter system for maximum fume adsorption.
