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.
Dr. Sandra Mueller on the quality of H&E stains from the VENTANA HE 600 system
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 that 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 mitigates tissue cross-contamination in the H&E staining process
- Positive patient ID via barcode sample tracking
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
