Microwave histoprocessor for specimens up to 5mm

HISTOS 5

The growing research in the application of microwaves for the acceleration of tissue processing has been fuelled by the need for dramatic reduction in tissue processing times.
The new HISTOS 5 is the latest result of Milestone’s commitment to innovation.
The HISTOS 5, which combines microwave irradiation with state-of-the-art computer control of power, time and temperature, consistently produces rapidly processed tissues with optimal cytomorphology and improved tissue sectioning properties.
The HISTOS 5 unique processing technique provides higher throughput, same-day processing for same-day diagnosis, less patient stress, and a greener and safer work environment.
Rapid and consistent processing of specimens of 4-5 mm thickness is made possible by the patented intermediate evaporation step with a preset vacuum protocol down to 100 mbar.
