Dual-retort hybrid tissue processor combining patented microwave technology with conventional heating for rapid, xylene-free processing of up to 210 cassettes per run.
LOGOS tissue processor uses only 100% alcohol, resulting in significantly lower consumption of reagents overall. When LOGOS is used in dual mode, wax can last over a month as all the clearing reagent (Isopropanol) is boiled off in the impregnation step. It delivers substantial savings over 10 years that can equate to the capital purchase of the unit.
Overnight and ultra-rapid tissue processing during the day will grant you the highest degree of flexibility and control over your workflow.
In the dual mode configuration no wax is pumped in and out of the retort, and no post run cleaning cycle is required.
LOGOS produces excellent IHC quality. Efficient processing combined with reduced chemical exposure preserves IHC signal.
LOGOS efficiency allows for processing larger or fatty tissue within a normal timeline, eliminating the need for reprocessing and eliminating under-processed tissues.
LOGOS tissue processor will run with your fixative of choice, thus all downstream test results (IHC, FISH, ISH, etc.) remain the same. No change to your protocol is required.
LOGOS can operate with resistance heating only, and processes breast tissue for assessing HER-2 in full compliance with CAP/ASCO guidelines and FDA HER-2 approved testing, in accordance with heating mode, temperatures, and reagent types.
Direct transfer of solutions from commercial containers (5L / 1 US gal supplier bottles) into the processing retort. No need of filling tanks as required by conventional tissue processors.
No pouring, no fumes.
Fully enclosed system with a twin extraction system of fumes at the retort opening. The slide-out reagent drawer is provided with an efficient ventilation/exhaust system.
The LOGOS reagent replacement is error-free thanks to a barcoding check system. When the container needs to be replaced, the operator can double-check the correctness of the reagent used and its positioning in the drawer.
