Leica BOND-III Fully Automated IHC and ISH Staining System
Description
Make a Difference with Accurate and Timely Slides
The Leica BOND-III Fully Automated IHC and ISH Staining System stainer provides you with all of the pieces to solve the diagnostic puzzle quickly and consistently. Maximize your lab space with this compact solution that combines efficiency and organization, allowing you to achieve up to 60% more slide throughput per m2* compared to other leading instruments on the market.
- Independently benchmarked antibody clones means quality that Pathologists can trust: pair the Leica BOND-III Fully Automated IHC and ISH Staining Systemwith optimized Novocastra HD BOND reagents and BOND Compact Polymer Detection solutions.
- Preserve morphology and integrity of precious tissue with the unique Covertile system that allows you to dispense reagents in a highly-controlled and more consistent manner. 91% of customers find the stain quality and reproducibility to be better than the competition.*
- Designed with the user in mind, everything from immediate reagent access with real-time measurements/alerts and greater flexibility over the competition to swap out reagents during protocol runs, to the intuitive user interface and case management with 3 independent trays, makes the BOND-III instrument the ultimate team player to meet your lab’s needs.
When Delivering a Case to the Pathologist, it’s the Last Slide that Matters
A complete case means that the last slide is as important as the first. The BOND-III stainer helps you deliver the entire case in the shortest amount of time while maintaining excellent standards in quality. Other systems prioritize individual slides at the expense of overall case completion, meaning it takes longer to finalize the last slide in the case.
“Diagnosing a case without all of the slides is like trying to do a puzzle with pieces missing…”
Make Every Inch of Your Lab Count
Meet the demands of ever-increasing slide volumes with the space you have. The BOND-III stainer is not only the smallest freestanding IHC/ISH stainer, it also produces the most number of slides in the least amount of space, allowing you to achieve up to 57% more throughput per meter compared to other leading instruments such as the Ventana BenchMark ULTRA and Dako Omnis.
