Benchmark platforms
Minimise diagnostic lead time, maintain consistent high quality and streamline workflow in the histology laboratory with the BenchMark IHC/ISH instruments.
The BenchMark XT and BenchMark ULTRA instruments automate all slide preparation steps of immunohistochemistry (IHC), fluorescent IHC, in situ hybridisation (ISH) and Dual Color Silver tests. They have the flexibility needed to expand test menus, process more slides and improve turnaround time.
Automated IHC/ISH slide staining system
