Ventana BenchMark XT

​Ventana BanchMark XT tissue represents a device for automatic preparation of new generation that provides the flexibility needed to increase the number of tests, the number of slides and speed, all without the need to increase staff. Product specifications:
 
  • An instrument for automatic preparation of tissues throughout process of baking, deparaffisation up to staining, with the ability to work both IHC and ISH methods at the same time, thus allowing increasing menu of tests that will work as well to process more tissues, more effectively and in a shorter time.
  • The device consists of three modules:
    • Coloring Module: This creates kinetic optimized environment for automatic tissue preparation. It consists of:
      • 35 positions for reagents
      • 30 completely independent drawers slides in which at any time you can add new slides
      • Chance of recognition of slides and orders via barcode
    • Fluid module: It is used to place the system reagents monitored through sensors and automatically are distributed to the staining module
    • Waste Module: composed of two tanks for liquid waste and a capacity of 90 sensor-made tissue that prevents eventually overflow if the staff is not in the lab.
  • Possibility to connect up to 8 instruments like Nexes Special Stains, XT GX one computer.
  • Ability to work with barcode slides which reduces the possibility of error.
  • Ready To Use reagents and their registration through coded chip which enables their easy identification by lot, serial number and date.
  • The use of this system increases the flexibility, qualityand productivity:
    • Flexibility – with the possibility of optimizing protocols work for IHC, ISH, FISH, SISH and FITC in a way that is most suitable for laboratory personnel.
    • Quality – through controlled and kinetic optimized environment  at reaction it improves quality of coloring, it’s consistency and reproducibility.
    • Productivity – the automation of the whole process gives up to 25% increase in the speed of the test preparation as well as up to 80% staff reduction of manual labor which is relaxed to carry current liabilities.
  • The equipment manufacturer Ventana has several technical solutions that are protected by patents and cannot be used by any other manufacturer, such as:
    • Liquid Coverslip – cover slide with a special oil that protects against drying, enabling stable reaction inside cover of the oil and sample stability.
    • Air – Vortex Mixers – allows for equal distribution of the reagent and complete coverage of the slide which makes the staining consistent around the slide.
  • The flexibility enabled by Ventana BenchMark XT allows users superior results through confidential Walk – Away automation.
