Simple, Automatic and Safe
Milestone’s DecalMATE enables histotechs to “tailor” their fixation/decalcification process to the specific characteristics of their bone tissue specimens.
For the first time, automatic protocols for fixation/decalcification of bone tissues are available for the modern laboratory. These protocols allow for improved diagnostic quality, consistency of results and faster turn-around time.
The unit consists of a resistance heated, temperature controlled process cavity, made of high chemical resistant techno polymers, with a built-in magnetic stirring device for temperature and concentration homogeneity.
Simultaneous microwave and resistance heating mode
LOGOS is the first all-in-one tissue processor with the exclusive Milestone patented microwave hybrid processing technology.This system can operate as a conventional resistance heated overnight tissue processor. It fulfills all CAP/ASCO guidelines for assessing HER-2, ER and PgR testing in breast tissues.Ultra-rapid dehydration/clearing steps are carried out by microwave heating technology for a faster turnaround. Its processing parameters can be set to fit your specific workflow requirements.
Fully automated processing in overnight and rapid mode
Parallel processing in continuous flexible-size batch mode
Up to 210/300 cassettes with 5 liter reagent containers
Direct transfer of solutions from commercial containers
Any type of tissue, up to 5mm thickness in split rack (210) or random basket rack (300)
Any type of tissue, up to 8mm thickness in super mega cassettes rack (24/40)
Easy and Efficient capturing of the grossing step
Grossing is a crucial step in the pre-analytical phase. Traditionally, operators take subjective notes, which can be prone to misinterpretation by pathologists, and use various tools without a standardized approach.
MacroPATH is a comprehensive tool designed to create digital documentation of the grossing process of surgical specimens and biopsies, providing pathologists with clear and unequivocal digital information for accurate diagnoses.
High-resolution camera for high quality images (20 Mpx, 65x optical zoom), 4K and FULL HD videos and audios
High-performance Terminal: new fast processor to expedite documentation, storage and editing
Smart software: intuitive, icon-driven and with built-in editing tools
Foot control & Touchscreen Terminal to simplify the acquisition process
Incomparable flexibility: any tissue, any cassette. Continuous operation day and night.MAGNUS is the result of Milestone putting its 30 years of experience to use, resulting in a patented hybrid processing technology.Lean by Design. MAGNUS is the processor with the highest uptime by design. It does not require paraffin transfers, saving time and potential blockages. There are no cleaning cycles and a reduced consumption of reagents overall, delivering dramatic cost savings.Safe by Design. It runs xylene-free, enabling long paraffin reutilization. Additionally, it checks alcohol purity before every step using the (optional) reagent sensor.During the day, MAGNUS runs urgent biopsies in short, fully automated, continuous loading processes.During the night, MAGNUS runs as an advanced, resistant heated, processor. It also allows the user to set fixation time to fulfill all CAP/ASCO guidelines for assessing HER-2, ER and PgR testing.
It’s time to revolutionize the rapid freezing process
PrestoCHILL reduces freezing time to 60 seconds and eliminates freezing artifacts through ultrafast freezing, preventing the formation of ice crystals. Cut fatty tissues, like breast or lymph nodes, can be frozen without difficulty and without the distortion of their delicate honeycomb structures.While using Milestone’s patented “face-down” embedding technique and PrestoCHILL, it is possible to obtain perfectly “flat plane” surfaces to reduce trimming time and cut more easily.
Grossing is one of the pillar steps in the specimen preparation toward pathology diagnosis. Over the years, traditional grossing stations have been incrementally improved, but never offered a breakthrough approach to this fundamental step.
UltraGROSS begins a new era of grossing devices. For the first time ever, the grossing station becomes a scientific tool. With UltraGROSS, the pathologist generates full documentation and ensures complete traceability of the grossing, maintaining intact the chain of custody. This new scientific tool incorporates several innovations that have a direct impact on the laboratory and its workflow:
