Today the future is here

Unmatched processing times Welcome to Pathos, the revolutionary automatic microwave enhanced histoprocessor.
The PATHOS is the result of Milestone's 18 years of know-how in applying microwaves to histoprocessing and of the experience of hundreds microwave histoprocessors installed worldwide.
The PATHOS provides the ideal combination of automatic processing performance, reagents efficiency and environmental sensitivity without sacrificing the morphology and quality histopathologists expect.
The PATHOS is not just a step forward in histoprocessing: it is a leap in the right direction for the lean histology laboratory of the future.
