BenchMark ULTRA instrument benefits

Studies have shown that single piece workflow improves laboratory operational efficiencyand the BenchMark ULTRA system - with its thirty independent slide drawers - helps to optimize laboratory workflow by giving histotechnologists continuous access to slide drawers. Single piece workflow maximizes both instrument capacity and laboratory throughput as it eliminates the need to batch samples. Single piece workflow also provides the flexibility to add time-sensitive slides to any available drawer throughout the day without disrupting staining runs in process.

 

Fully automated

 

  • Standardized IHC and ISH staining
  • Improve quality, workflow and testing efficiency

 

Flexibility

 

  • Individually controlled slide heater pads enable users to run any assay side-by-side
  • Customize time and temperature protocols for each individual slide position

 

Optimal quality

 

  • Individual slide heaters, liquid coverslip and air vortex mixers provide an optimal puddle staining environment
  • Sensitive detection chemistries and a broad portfolio of ready-to-use assays 

 

Workflow

 

  • Optimize throughput capacity with single piece workflow
  • Increase laboratory productivity and reduce re-run rates

 

BenchMark ULTRA instrument features

 

  • 30 slide positions
  • Ability to add or remove bulk reagents and waste without interrupting cases in process
  • 35 reagent positions
  • Continuous and random slide processing to optimize laboratory workflow
