Optimize and grow your business with Roche's automated slide staining systems. Our comprehensive portfolio streamlines the processes of a wide range of diagnostic needs, including:
Automated solutions reduce technician time, maximize throughput, and enhance turnaround times while ensuring the right patient gets the right stain each and every time. These automated slide staining systems help create consistent and reproducible results.
At Roche, we believe every patient deserves individual attention. Our staining systems perform individual slide staining, producing personalized, high-quality slides, while mitigating the risk of cross-contamination.
Our vision is for patients worldwide to access quality testing that is automated, consistent, and reproducible in any laboratory.
Consistent, reproducible results: Automated staining eliminates human variability, ensuring consistent staining across all slides.
Exceptional staining integrity: Individual slide staining with systems like the VENTANA® HE 600 and our BenchMark series minimizes cross-contamination, safeguarding the integrity of your results.
Reduced manual steps: Help save valuable technician time for higher-level tasks
Faster turnaround times: By automating tedious manual tasks, Roche's systems enable reductions in turnaround times, which can lead to more timely treatment decisions for patients
Reduced technician exposure to chemicals: Automated staining systems minimize contact with hazardous chemicals used in the staining process, promoting a safer work environment for your laboratory personnel
