Count on quality reproducible stains

Individual slide staining provides exceptional stain consistency and reproducibility to ensure your first slide of the day has the same quality as your last
Ready-to-use reagents are certified and tested for quality to provide consistent, high-quality stains

Improve laboratory workflow

Consolidating slide drying, staining and coverslipping into a single pathology instrument frees up your staff from non-value-added activities like monitoring slide rack status and manual slide rack transport
Reduce hands-on time for maintenance with ready-to-use reagents. Eliminate daily and/or weekly reagent reservoir “bumps” and reservoir cleaning

Improve patient safety

Individual slide staining virtually eliminates tissue cross-contamination in the H&E staining process
Barcode sample tracking during processing reduces ID errors

Safer working environment for histotechnologists

Removal of xylene and alcohol from H&E process, coupled with ready-to-use reagents creates a safer working environment by reducing the risk of exposure to hazardous chemicals

Why should a pathologist refuse to settle for good enough? Because patients deserve more than good enough! As physicians, we should always strive for excellence and approach patient care by asking ourselves how we can make it better.
