Break down lab barriers with integrated and automated slide stainer instrumentation
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:
- Routine hemotoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining: The VENTANA® HE 600 system automates the entire H&E staining process, freeing up valuable lab personnel time while minimizing manual errors.
- Special stains: The BenchMark Special Stains system automates workflows, enhancing consistency and efficiency in identifying specific tissue features.
- Immunohistochemistry (IHC) and in-situ hybridization (ISH): The BenchMark GX, BenchMark ULTRA, and BenchMark ULTRA PLUS systems offer a range of solutions for IHC and ISH testing
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.
