Just load your slides and walk away. Minimal hands-on time frees up technologists for other important tasks.
The ThermoBrite Elite automates and standardizes FISH slide preparation including deparaffinization, pretreatment, denaturation/hybridization, and post hybridization wash. Application of probe, counterstain, and coverslips are the only manual steps.
The included intuitive and user-friendly software enables users to run preloaded protocols for FFPE tissue specimens or to create up to 100 user-defined protocols. The instrument, as it is an open platform, can be programmed to work with nearly any probe or protocol, allowing the selection of up to 10 input reagents and 3 separate waste paths. The ThermoBrite Elite hybridizes with controlled, accurate temperature and can process up to 12 slides per run with the ability to adapt to smaller batches. For higher throughput, transfer slides to a standard ThermoBrite instrument to denature/hybridize and continue using your ThermoBrite Elite for new runs.
