Manual staining methods for special stains are time consuming, can lead to variability in staining results, and often require the use of hazardous chemicals. The VENTANA BenchMark Special Stains instrument brings full automation for special stains to your laboratory, empowering improved laboratory efficiencies:
- Dedicate your skilled labor to more valuable tasks
- Ensure consistent staining every time, every day
- Reduce technician risk to the hazardous reagents with ready-to-use reagent kits designed to minimize exposure
The new BenchMark Special Stains platform takes special stains automation to a new level. Consider the many benefits that the integration of Ventana BenchMark technology brings to a brand new BenchMark platform for special stains:
- Automation of the baking and deparaffinization step-increasing hands-free time and reducing exposure to clearing agents
- Improved workflow — both independent slide heating (allowing random batch access) and bulk waste sensing (with bulk fluid and waste capacity) support a more efficient work day
- Consistent quality enabled by new technology as well as new reagent kit formulations for Steiner and Trichrome stains
- A new intuitive software interface common with BenchMark ULTRA instrument
The new BenchMark Special Stains platform is enabled with CareGiver, a remote support diagnotics tool on SYMPHONY and now on BenchMark ULTRA.
