This system provides standardized complete automation from microtome to microscope in three simple steps (load, click and view) for any slide-based assays such as immunohistochemistry (IHC), Add-on feature of fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and multiplex applications (double and triple stains; IHC/ISH), as well as micro-RNAISH. Hence, Xmatrx ELITE maximizes testing capacity, minimizes hands-on time, reduces errors and produces consistent results. This underlies our commitment to providing a system that meets the needs of molecular pathology laboratories of today, tomorrow and beyond.
