Automated instrumentation for timely, reliable and reproducible results.

The BenchMark ULTRA PLUS system uses an unprecedented, fully-automated workflow for immunohistochemistry (IHC) and in-situ hybridization (ISH) slide staining to improve turnaround time and decrease touchpoints.
The VENTANA HE 600 system is intended to automatically stain histologic sections of formalin-fixed, paraffin- embedded (FFPE) specimens on microscope slides, with hematoxylin and eosin. The system fully automates the process of baking, deparaffinization, staining, and coverslipping of specimens on microscope slides. The VENTANA HE 600 system is intended for use in the anatomic pathology (AP) laboratory environment by trained laboratory personnel who are knowledgeable in histology processes and have basic computer operation skills.The VENTANA HE 600 system is intended for in vitro diagnostic (IVD) use.
