The Pathos Delta is the result of Milestone’s 13 years of know-how in applying microwaves to tissue processing. The Pathos Delta provides the ideal combination of automatic processing performance, reagents efficiency and environmental sensitivity, without sacrificing the morphology and quality histologists and pathologists expect.
Your histology know-how and Milestone microwave technology, allows you to reduce turn-around time. At the same time improve your workflow with less peaks and stress when compared to conventional methods.
Throughput
Fixative
Clearing Agent
Heating
No need to change your workflow. Just improve it!
Night Mode
At the end of the day collect all remaining specimens for overnight processing
Set Delay START
Run any protocol, any tissue size, any thickness, any cassette number.
Fix and process breast tissues to comply with HER-2 guidelines by CAP (College of American Pathologists).
At the start of the new working day the tissues are processed.
Day Mode
Rapid, on demand, microwave tissue processing
According to your workload process:
Urgent biopsies
All types of tissues, any cassettes number
Any thickness of specimens, from 1 mm to 7 mm thickness
Any cassettes up to supermega
Xylene free or xylene processing
Formalin or formalin-free processing
Continuous access through elimination of cleaning cycles
Benefits for the patient care management team and...
Carry out grossing according to standard procedures
No need to standardize on 1.5/2.5 mm thickness specimens
Use formalin or FineFIX formaline-free fixative for enhanced molecular biology studies
For the Histologist
Improved workload distribution: process as required for a more even workload distribution
Pathos will eliminate the need for night shifts
Flexibility: process 20-70-140-210 cassettes as required
Economy: process with three/four reagents only; conventional grade wax.
Easy sectioning
For the Pathologist
Pathos processed slides enable the pathologist to deliver same-day diagnosis of slides
Same-day diagnosis will enhance the pathologist’s role in cancer patient management
Less stress through more even work load
For the Lab Administrator
Same-day diagnosis, even for afternoon specimens, for the referring physician and patient
Improved service performance
Improved work environment for laboratory personnel
Reduce cost for reagents storage and disposal
For the Oncologist and Clinician
Within hours oncologists & clinicians can advise patients on the base of definitive diagnosis
Treatment can be initiated immediately
For the Hospital Administrator
Reduced patient anxiety and stress by providing results within hours
Dramatic improvements in efficiency and laboratory productivity
Fast turn around to attract off site business
For the Patient
Elimination of needless anguish
More timely start of needed treatment
