Why DISCOVERY ULTRA?

 

The DISCOVERY ULTRA instrument enables users to reduce human error, optimise operations and improve the quality of lab processes. Operators can accelerate IHC and ISH workflows, freeing lab personnel to focus on their priorities.

Accelerate throughput with automation

The DISCOVERY ULTRA instrument enables automation of IHC and ISH, providing several advantages over manual staining on the bench. 

  • Greater workflow flexibility and efficiency – Individual slide drawers allow instrument operation at maximum capacity by running ISH samples alongside IHC samples, long and short protocols, and different detection chemistries simultaneously. 
  • Parallel experiment runs – Individual slide drawers enable labs to process multiple samples simultaneously, while using different protocols to analyse each slide.
  • Flexibility to expedite high-priority samples  – Open drawers can be immediately started without disrupting other runs or impacting overall productivity.
  • Independent temperature control – Users have control over temperature in each slide drawer.
  • Manual touchpoint freedom – Roche Universal Protocol software enables users to add manual touchpoints virtually anywhere within protocols, providing greater freedom and flexibility.

Roche: History of innovation

Roche technologies are used in labs across the world. We’re a pioneer in IHC automation, with our first product, the Ventana “ES” automated stainer, launched in 1988. 

We build relationships with our customers, developing new lab-ready testing technologies that push boundaries in sophistication and reliability.

The DISCOVERY ULTRA instrument, built on the same technology as our clinical IVD staining platform - the BenchMark ULTRA instrument - provides consistent, reproducible quality that researchers rely on daily.
