Revolutionising Pathology Labs: The ONCORE PRO Automated Staining System by Biocare Medical
In the rapidly evolving field of pathology, the need for precision, efficiency, and reproducibility in diagnostic processes has never been greater. Biocare Medical’s ONCORE PRO automated staining system is at the forefront of this transformation, providing cutting-edge technology that meets the rigorous demands of clinical and research laboratories. Designed specifically for immunohistochemistry (IHC) and in situ hybridization (ISH) staining, the ONCORE PRO brings a host of advanced features that revolutionize the staining process.
Automated Staining for Consistency and Reproducibility
One of the most significant advantages of the ONCORE PRO is its ability to automate the entire staining process. This includes the application of primary antibodies, detection reagents, and chromogens. Automation reduces the variability that often plagues manual staining methods, ensuring that each slide is treated uniformly. This consistency is crucial for accurate diagnosis and research outcomes, making the ONCORE PRO an invaluable asset in any pathology lab.
Flexibility and Efficiency
The ONCORE PRO stands out for its flexibility. It is designed to handle a wide variety of sample types and staining protocols, accommodating the diverse needs of pathology labs. This system supports the simultaneous processing of multiple protocols, significantly boosting throughput and efficiency. By allowing different staining procedures to run concurrently, the ONCORE PRO maximizes the lab’s productivity without compromising on quality.
Walk-Away Capability
Another remarkable feature of the ONCORE PRO is its walk-away capability. Once a staining run is started, the system operates autonomously, allowing laboratory personnel to focus on other tasks. This not only improves lab efficiency but also reduces the likelihood of human error during the staining process. The ability to initiate a run and then walk away until completion makes the ONCORE PRO a true workhorse in the lab.
Open Reagent System
The ONCORE PRO employs an open reagent system, which is a significant advantage for labs looking for flexibility and cost-effectiveness. This system is compatible with a wide range of antibodies and detection systems from various suppliers, enabling laboratories to customize the system to their specific requirements. The open reagent system also allows labs to optimize their protocols with reagents that best suit their needs, enhancing both performance and cost-efficiency.
User-Friendly Interface
Ease of use is a hallmark of the ONCORE PRO. It features an intuitive touchscreen interface that simplifies programming and monitoring of staining runs. This user-friendly design minimizes the learning curve for new users and ensures that even complex protocols can be set up and executed with ease. The interface provides real-time updates on the progress of staining runs, ensuring that lab personnel are always informed.
Robust Quality Control
Quality control is paramount in pathology, and the ONCORE PRO excels in this area. The system includes features such as barcode scanning for reagent tracking and slide identification, which ensure accuracy and traceability. These quality control measures are essential for maintaining the integrity of the staining process and for meeting regulatory requirements.
Compact Design and Versatility
Despite its advanced capabilities, the ONCORE PRO boasts a compact design that fits well in laboratories with limited space. Its small footprint does not compromise its functionality, as it can handle both single and multiplex staining procedures. This versatility is crucial for advanced research applications and detailed diagnostic work, making the ONCORE PRO a versatile tool for any lab.
Precision Temperature Control
Temperature control is a critical factor in the staining process, and the ONCORE PRO provides precise temperature regulation for various stages. This ensures optimal conditions for antigen retrieval and antibody binding, which are crucial for the accuracy and reliability of staining results.
Advanced Software
The ONCORE PRO is equipped with advanced software that offers detailed documentation and reporting features. These capabilities are vital for maintaining comprehensive records and ensuring compliance with regulatory standards. The software enhances the overall functionality of the system, making it easier to manage and analyze staining data.
Conclusion
Biocare Medical’s ONCORE PRO automated staining system represents a significant advancement in pathology lab technology. By combining automation, flexibility, user-friendliness, and robust quality control, the ONCORE PRO enhances the efficiency, consistency, and quality of IHC and ISH staining processes. Its compact design and versatile capabilities make it an indispensable tool for both clinical and research settings, paving the way for more accurate diagnostics and innovative research outcomes.
