Xylene-free dual-retort rapid tissue processor enabling continuous batch loading without cleaning cycles, delivering up to 600 cassettes per shift with extended fixation for uniform formalin penetration.
The unique robotic arm makes MAGNUS the best-in-class Lean Processor. Its continuous automatic processing never stops, even during reagent changes.
MAGNUS is always ready to start, per user demand, creating unrivalled processing efficiency and performance.
MAGNUS tissue processor uses only 100% alcohol, resulting in significantly lower consumption of reagents overall. With MAGNUS, wax lasts for over a month as all the clearing reagent, either MileTWO or Isopropanol, is boiled off in the impregnation step. It delivers substantial savings over 10 years that can equal the capital purchase cost of the unit.
Running in dual mode means no wax is pumping in and out of the retort, therefore a post run cleaning cycle is never required.
MAGNUS efficiency allows for processing large or fatty tissue within a normal timeline, eliminating the need for reprocessing and eliminating under-processed tissues.
MAGNUS 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.
MAGNUS 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.
MAGNUS allows for the direct transfer of reagents from commercial containers (5L / 1Gal supplier bottles) into the processing retort. There is no downtime for filling tanks as required by conventional tissue processors.
Its optional extra wax reservoir avoids unwanted delays due to wax shortages. The wax retort is auto filled between runs.
No decanting of reagents, no transfers and no reagent fumes.
MAGNUS is a fully enclosed system with a twin fume extraction system at the retort opening. The slide-out reagent drawer is equipped with an efficient ventilation/exhaust system.
MAGNUS reagent replacement is error-free thanks to a barcode system. When a reagent needs to be replaced, the operator uses the barcode system by scanning both the bottle and position to ensure correct positioning in the drawer.
In-processing reagent quality checks are performed by the (optional) on-board sensor.
Operators can visualize the status of the unit and if user action is required thanks to the color coded light system.
