For research use only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.
With 30 individual slide drawers, the DISCOVERY ULTRA system enables you to
run both manual and fully automated experiments simultaneously with no
synchronization errors. The system provides the ability to fully automate a
broad range of IHC and ISH assays, including FISH, gene and protein IHC/ISH,
mRNA ISH and multiplex assays (with any combination of IHC and ISH).
The system provides all features of the market-leading BenchMark ULTRA system, including 30 individual slide drawers and Ultimate Reagent Access (URA), to support multiple assay types and users.
A large ready-to-use reagent menu combined with unmatched multiplexing capabilities provides broad detection options.
The DISCOVERY RUO Universal Procedure allows for complete protocol control to create and replicate the most complex of tests.
The DISCOVERY ULTRA research instrument is the solution for scientists and research professionals who demand more than what conventional immunohistochemistry (IHC) and in situ hybridization (ISH) research methods have to offer.
