Histology automation and IHC autostainers
Histology automation is the robots that process tissue into slides and stain them for biomarkers such as HER2 and PD-L1, the same way every time.
Tissue processors, embedding stations, and microtomes (Sakura Tissue-Tek, Leica, Epredia) feed IHC/ISH autostainers (Roche VENTANA BenchMark ULTRA, Leica BOND, Agilent Dako Omnis, Sakura Tissue-Tek Genie) that run FDA-approved companion assays under locked protocols; staining platform, clone, and scoring guide are label-specific. Lab automation and tracking (barcoded cassettes and slides) reduce misidentification errors.
How it works
Automated reagent dispensing, incubation, and detection chemistry on slides with barcode-driven protocols and on-board quality controls.
- Reproducibility across labs
- Regulatory-approved closed assays
- Vendor lock-in to reagent ecosystems
- Assays not interchangeable across platforms
- Capital cost for small labs
