Leica Biosystems announced the release of BOND-III IHC and ISH stainer

Leica Biosystems declared the release of a remarkable update to the highly regarded BOND-III IHC and ISH stainer.

The latest advance to the BOND-III stainer incorporates a unique set of productivity innovations to support pathology labs’ drive for procedural efficiency and diagnostic confidence encompassing:

Active Visual Management (AVM) to simplify bulk reagent management. In addition to aesthetic enhancements, the latest AVM lighting system allows staff to monitor instrument readiness from across the lab without breaking from other tasks, maximizing efficiency and minimizing stress among staff, who can more quickly and easily ensure that the instrument’s bulk reagents are ready for the next run.

BOND Controller software (Version 6.0) to further improve lab management. A usability overhaul has resulted in a software release that is at once familiar, but altogether cleaner, more attractive and significantly more productive.

Colin White, Ph.D., global vice president of Advanced Staining at Leica Biosystems said “In updating BOND-III, our designers have taken a user-centric approach and enhanced the ease-of-use of both the instrument hardware and software. With the improved usability of this technology, laboratories will be able to efficiently and rapidly generate high-quality stains for all slides in a patient case, supporting the pathologist’s need for timely receipt of all pieces of the diagnostic puzzle.”
