Deliver diagnostic confidence with BenchMark ULTRA PLUS

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. With over 200 assays in key disease areas available, including high medical value assays, your lab can remain at the forefront of companion diagnostics and personalized medicines.

Built upon the proven technology of the BenchMark ULTRA system, BenchMark ULTRA PLUS delivers an enhanced lab experience and an optimized workflow with flexible solutions. This easy-to-use solution helps histotechnologists and anatomic pathology laboratories manage activities efficiently and confidently, saving personnel time and resource costs.

Benefits at a glance

Optimized workflow

Improve usability while enabling time for more value-added activities through:

Light notifications communicate instrument status from across the lab
Retractable work surface gives technologists additional space to work while at the instrument
Bulk reagent color-coded clips make bulk reagent loading easier and help minimize errors
Remote access allows you to view, manage, complete, and print system data remotely
Integrated communication allows streamlined data management and inventory tracking across all host computers

Flexible solutions

Features based on customer feedback:

The configuration has a decreased height compared to the BenchMark ULTRA
Integrated touchscreen reduces bottlenecks by allowing many functions to be done at the instrument
VSS 14.x software allows for easier navigation of inventory management and ordering through a new filter as well as lot-to-lot validation on the same instrument
Proprietary waste management* solution degrades DAB (3,3'-diaminobenzidine) to less than 5 ppb meeting the most stringent municipality requirements for nonhazardous waste

Quality is at the core

Proven BenchMark technologies deliver the right stain at the right time:

Flexible, independent temperature control for individual slide staining optimization
Proven staining technology of air vortex mixing with LCS create a reaction chamber allowing full slide coverage with 100ul of reagen
New slide drawer design mitigates fluid ingress and egress resulting in continuous and highly-reliable drawer performance
VSS 14.x software has new and expanded reporting capabilities including quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC)
