IVD
For in vitro diagnostic use.
Leadership through laboratory innovation
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 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 virtually eliminates tissue cross-contamination in the H&E staining process
- Barcode sample tracking during processing reduces ID errors
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
