Bond RX (Leica Biosystems)

Fully automated research stainer. Purchased with the contribution of Carisbo

BOND RX allows researchers to fully automate emerging technologies (including new molecular applications) in histopathology, customise all protocol steps and turn theory into practice.

Its user-friendly interface makes it quick, easy and efficient for researchers to perform tasks and avoid errors.

The tool processes simultaneously the steps of different protocols. This allows a single instrument to process 30 slides in 2.5 hours. 

BOND RX speeds up multiplexing analyses for biomarker detection: the integrated Covertile technology provides uniform staining while maintaining the morphology and integrity of valuable tissues; it also allows reagents to be distributed in a controlled and repeatable manner while minimising the amount of reagents required.

Lastly, BOND RX allows for rapid control of liquid status and levels, as well as facilitating reagent refilling or waste emptying for effective management.
