BenchMark ULTRA IHC/ISH System
This fully automated instrument offers 30 independent slide drawers and single-piece workflow - supporting the largest menu of 250+ ready-to-use assays.
IVD
For in vitro diagnostic use.
Deliver diagnostic confidence
The BenchMark ULTRA system is Roche Tissue Diagnostics’ most innovative, fully automated immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization slide staining system. It offers multiple features designed to deliver diagnostic confidence to histopathology laboratories worldwide. The most notable are the individual slide drawers that support single piece workflow and a broad menu of over 250 ready-to-use assays.
Studies have shown that single piece workflow improves laboratory operational efficiency1 and the BenchMark ULTRA system - with its thirty independent slide drawers - helps to optimize laboratory workflow by giving histotechnologists continuous access to slide drawers.
