Accu-TempTM Temperature Validation Slides are designed to be used with automated IHC slide stainers, in order to help ensure that slide pad heaters are functioning properly. Most staining instruments require both routine and quarterly instrument maintenance in order to stay in regulatory compliance. Accu-TempTM offers an economical and efficient method to stay in compliance, and to help identify slide pad heating errors.
Accu-Temp Validation Slides are used to test the temperature of the slide heater pads on the instrument. Each slide has two temperature rating areas, one indicating 93°C and the other indicating 99°C, which change to black when the indicated temperature has been reached.

At the completion of the test, observe slides. The temperature rating area on each slide indicating 93°C should have turned black while the temperature rating area indicating 99°C should have remained unchanged. If any slides fail, contact your instrument manufacturer’s local support representative.
