for slide stainingfor histologyIHC

KOS is a multifunctional, bench top microwave processor. Built to process up to 110 cassettes at a time, KOS is ideal for smaller labs without large volumes or those in need of a processor that can also fulfill other functions within the lab. The multifunctional design of KOS allows it to be used successfully for many applications, including: rapid tissue processing, decalcification, special stains, fixation, gross hardening and antigen retrieval. High Quality Results No compromise in regard to morphology and staining expression. Staining properties of processed specimens are excellent for H&E, IHC and FISH. In a fraction of the time. Rapid tissue processing Rapid tissue processing is the primary application requested by most KOS users. KOS is a semi-automatic tissue processor and requires minimal interaction from the user: simply following the prompts on the icon-driven touchscreen terminal, the operator will move the tissues from fixation through dehydration, clearing and wax infiltration. A set of pre-stored programs and three specially developed Histomodules are available to meet the processing needs of any laboratory. Small batches of 1 to 4 cassettes utilize the 4K module; this allows flexibility for urgent processing of transplant or biopsies in as little as thirty minutes. Process up to 45 cassette batches using the 45K module, or increase capacity with the new 110 Cassette configuration. KOS is ideal to perform rapid bone decalcification. The user can run the standardized and optimized protocols, which are available from the menu. Through the innovative technology, KOS allows to perform decalcification and processing of bone samples in short times.
