Abstract: A mounting media device for application of mounting media to a specimen positioned on a slide before placement of a cover slip. The mounting media device includes a housing, a tray component, a mounting media transfer component, a dispenser component, and a control element. The mounting media transfer component provides mounting media to the dispenser component. In an automatic mode, a sensor may provide a signal to the control element to cause mounting media to be transferred from the mounting media transfer component to the dispenser component automatically. The dispenser component may dispense the mounting media to the tray component and onto a specimen positioned on a slide before placement of a cover slip. In a manual mode, a trigger element may be depressed so that the mounting media device may be manually controlled and release mounting media from the dispenser component.

Abstract: A mounting media device for application of mounting media to a specimen positioned on a slide before placement of a cover slip. The mounting media device includes an enclosure element, a foot pedal element, and a syringe element. The enclosure element further includes an air compressor component and a dispenser component positioned within the enclosure element. The air compressor component provides air at a specified pressure to the dispenser component. The foot pedal element is triggered to dispense air at a specified pressure from the dispenser component into the syringe element thereby releasing the mounting media from the syringe element onto the specimen positioned on the slide before placement of a cover slip. The foot pedal element may also be depressed so that a user may manually control the release of air from the dispenser component to the syringe element.
