Foundation for Crisp Clear Stains
Histology workflows rely on efficiently fixed, processed and stained samples to enable reliable analysis. Optimal tissue processing conditions for each tissue type lay the foundation for smooth downstream applications and the crisp, clear stains pathologists look for.

Customer Stories
High-volume Lab Switches from VIP to the HistoCore PELORIS 3 Tissue Processor
As a 24-hour working lab, South Bend Medical Foundation processes large and small specimens ranging from gastrointestinal to skin samples to breast biopsies for an estimated 60,000 cases a year.
“Those cycles end up finishing at the same time, so we’re able to load another medium cycle or another short cycle,” says Johnson. “That’s what I like – we’re able to make those adjustments to processing on the fly.”
