Master the art and science of H&E stainingwith the new VENTANA HE 600 system

DRAFT

Fresh reagents on every slide can provides improved nuclear detailExcellent eosin differentiation allows various tissue features, which are important to the diagnostics process, to be easily identified

Create seamless workflow efficiency with the VENTANA HE 600 systemThe VENTANA HE 600 system provides optimal efficiency by reducing touch points and wait points in the H&E process. Consolidating ovens, stainers, and coverslipping into a single system provides end-to-end automation, enabling labs to do more with less.

One-touch, walk away automation• System integration for drying through glass coverslipping • Barcode tracking provides full chain of custody• Promotes continuous flow of H&E slides, minimizing bottlenecks

found in traditional dip-and-dunk H&E systems

Error reduction and delays• Color coded labels and radio frequency identification (RFID) tags

error proof the reagent management process• Ready to use reagents eliminate reagent baths and the

associated filtering and cleaning• Integrated VENTANA VANTAGE workflow solution provides

laboratory efficiency metrics and reports

Flexible operation to meet your unique laboratory needs• 400+ customized protocols to optimize staining• Pre-validated coverslipping protocols for other VENTANA assays• Simultaneous processing of multiple protocols

Simple maintenance and serviceability• Limited daily maintenance required by lab personnel• CareGiver remote support system provides real-time system

information to expedite service and troubleshooting

The VENTANA HE 600 system from Roche Diagnostics enables high levels of efficiency, stain quality, consistency and improved safety, all while providing unprecedented flexibility in the pathology laboratory – creating better results for you, your laboratory and your patients.

Make every patients slide a masterpieceH&E operates at the intersection of art and science to create masterful stains. The VENTANA HE 600 system provides unparalleled levels of stain consistency and reproducibly to ensure your first slide of the day has the same level of quality as your last. The system uses ready-to-use reagents and tightly controls temperature and pH in the staining process to provide consistent, high quality stains.

Unparalleled levels of stain consistency and reproducibility• Individual slide staining with fresh reagent on every slide enables

reproducible, consistent H&E staining • Elimination of reagent carryover and oxidation between baths• Easily customizable staining protocols for unmatched staining

flexibility• Glass coverslips provide optimal clarity and archivability

Improved patient and technologist safety The VENTANA HE 600 system employs individual slide staining, dispensing fresh reagents on every slide, which mitigates reagent carryover and tissue cross-contamination in the H&E process. The system significantly reduces histotechnologist exposure to harmful reagents.

Increase patient safety• Individual slide staining mitigates tissue contamination in the

staining process• Provides full chain of custody• Positive patient ID via barcode sample tracking

Laboratory safety• Eliminates xylene and alcohol from the H&E process • Ready to use reagents reduce technologist exposure to

hazardous chemicals
