Histopathology
Pathology & Histology Equipment
Tissue-based diagnostics plays a crucial role in many lives and a dedication to quality, speed and efficiency will make a real difference. Leica Biosystems integrates all aspects of advanced staining with the options you need for a tailored solution to IHC and ISH staining. The combination of Leica BOND automated IHC and ISH stainers with Novocastra reagents help you create the diagnostic confidence that pathologists demand and patients need.
HistoCore Spectra Workstation
Your time matters. Speed up slide processing while maintaining quality and consistency with the HistoCore SPECTRA Workstation, the only workstation that provides consistent staining from slides 1 to 1,600. It also offers the fastest glass coverslipping drying time on the market at only 5 minutes, processing slides that are instantly dry to the touch.
Dual robotic arms and multiple reagent stations ensure each rack is stained efficiently. Users can process up to 330 slides per hour without compromising flexibility or lowering the turnaround time. In addition, the innovative design and 52 cuvette stations enable H&E and special stains to run simultaneously at a high throughput.
Have precise control over reagent conditions, and coordinate reagent exchange using RFID-monitored consumables, color-coded rack technology, and a unique slide counter. Together, these features minimize user errors, save time, control costs, and reduce waste in the lab.
The dual and independent coverslip lines don’t just deliver the highest throughput, they also give users the flexibility to manually load slides in a continuous workflow. In addition, the coverslipper features an enhanced lay down mechanism, a smooth handling process (push method for coverslipping readiness), and validated ready-to-use consumables with RFID technology. These consumables include the HistoCore SPECTRA CV X1 rapid drying, xylene-based mounting media. An antioxidant is added to inhibit stain fading and prevent the formation of annual rings. It sets up quickly, allowing slide preparations to be handled immediately after mounting.
Tissue Processing System
Meet today’s workflow demands and build your lab’s capacity for the future. With a HistoCore PELORIS 3 tissue processor, feel confident with Track and Trace features designed to maximize productivity for efficient and flexible workflow, while maintaining quality.
- Enhanced workflows and improved user experience with high quality tissue processing
- Track and trace features enhance and maintain the tissue processing quality
- Streamline your workflow to make your day more productive with:
- Dual Retort Design: high-capacity (up to 600 cassettes) & rapid throughput
Run two protocols at the same time for rapid tissue processing – including biopsy, large tissue, and fatty tissues – and quicker turnaround times overall. Plus, HistoCore PELORIS 3 allows for the use of xylene-free reagents for a healthier lab environment.
Two built-in density meters help limit the risk of lab errors during reagent change. They monitor such changes and alert users if there’s an incorrect concentration to protect the integrity of the tissue. As a result, reagent change errors can be significantly reduced.
Advanced Staining
Tissue-based diagnostics plays a crucial role in many lives and a dedication to quality, speed and efficiency will make a real difference. Leica Biosystems integrates all aspects of advanced staining with the options you need for a tailored solution to IHC and ISH staining. The combination of Leica BOND automated IHC and ISH stainers with Novocastra reagents help you create the diagnostic confidence that pathologists demand and patients need.
Cytogenetics
CytoVision is the one image analysis and case management system that provides Cytogenetic laboratories with an integrated, scalable platform for brightfield and fluorescent samples, because only Leica combines the expertise in image analysis, robotics and microscopy needed to deliver and support a truly integrated cytogenetics platform.
A scalable, modular approach to the design and development of the CytoVision platform ensures a future-proof solution for any laboratory – from configurations to support a single application workstation through to fully-networked, multi-application nationwide programs.
Clinical Microscopy
Proven Clinical Microscopy Solutions from Leica Biosystems deliver excellent image quality for all your imaging needs, no matter what your applications are – whether by looking down the eyepieces, on a screen or as saved images for documentation of your cases. These microscopes will help you to work smart, fast, and in comfort, thanks to their outstanding ergonomics and workflow enhancing features.
Complete Frozen Section Solution
Live View Digital Pathology
Aperio LV1 is the fast, effective solution for your diagnostic needs. Remote slides are available for live view in under 15 seconds*, invaluable for time-dependent applications such as intraoperative consultation. And as a small-footprint digital pathology scanner, it enables rapid scanning of slides for diagnostic review and archiving. Easy to install and use, it requires minimal IT overhead and training to get started. Compact and economic, it is the ideal cost-effective system for frozen section review.
CryoMicrotomes
The Leica Biosystems CM1860 UV is a high-throughput clinical cryostat with Ag Protect Consistently produce quality sections.These precision microtome helps you to consistently produce quality sections. The microtome is encapsulated, thus providing for easy cleaning and maintenance.
Staying organized helps you staying focused on the sectioning job at hand. The Leica CM1860 provides you with designated storage shelves for samples, object holders, tools and an easily accessible ambient temperature storage on top of the instrument.
Reduce exposure to most bacteria, viruses, and fungi by disinfecting the cryochamber at cold temperatures using safe, highly effective, ozone-free UVC irradiation.
Protect all staff working close to the cryostat AgProtect nanosilver coating limits bacterial growth on external surfaces and reduces the risk that contact will lead to infection.
Linear Stainer
Leica ST4020 Small Linear Stainer delivers high-quality in a compact design. It combines the software programming features of a large linear Stainer with a compact design. With advanced automation, the Leica ST4020 gives the user the freedom to start a run and dedicate their time to other urgent tasks meanwhile. Flexible programming makes the Leica ST4020 ideal for many sample types.
Turn to the Leica ST4020 when you need to run skin samples (Mohs specimens), frozen sections, fine needle aspirates and biopsies. The Leica ST4020 easily adapts to a wide range of laboratory workflows with flexible features including a variable protocol starting position, three optional running water stations and a programmable time per station of 2 to 300 seconds.
With unique expertise across the patient journey from tissue acquisition to treatment, Leica Biosystems is focused on driving innovations by connecting people across radiology, pathology, surgery and oncology - leading and breakthrough outcomes for you and your patients.
