Product Features

Load Any Slide in Any Combination, with Any Reagent, at Any Time with Universal Access on BOND-PRIME

  • Load Any Slide – Independent Active Reagent Control (ARC) Modules are precisely engineered, individual staining chambers that enable you to run any combination of staining protocols, pretreatments, chromogens, and technologies.
  • In Any Combination – The BOND-PRIME stainer continually adapts to incoming work, so you can load single slides, complete cases, full batches, or any workflow to keep your slides processing.
  • With Any Reagent – Featuring 70 open-access reagent positions, ample reagent space means no delays to add antibodies and/or detection. Fill and empty bulk containers less often with an over 200 slide bulk reagent capacity.
  • At Any Time – Process up to 48 slides seamlessly. Load slides in the Preload Drawer even when at staining capacity and unload slides when you are ready since finished slides don’t prevent the staining of new slides.

Shorten the TAT from request to diagnosis

The BOND-PRIME staining platform has unprecedented speed achieving the breakthrough milestone average IHC slide TAT of 95 min.  The average IHC TAT for a 24-slide batch is <130 minutes and as fast as one hour for single/STAT slides. 

Featuring next-generation robotics, optimized staining protocols with premium reagents, and innovative Active Reagent Control technology, you don’t have to compromise quality for speed.

IHC testing is often the precursor to additional, more complex testing, so rapid results mean expedited diagnostic information to provide clarity to treatment. With so much relying on this testing, getting to the diagnosis faster is paramount.

Crisp, clear stains with the details pathologists look for

The progressive automation on the BOND-PRIME instrument works in tandem with our premium reagents to produce crisp, clear, high-quality staining in 95 minutes.

  • Active Reagent Control (ARC) technology – Consistent and reproducible staining with highly controlled dispense, reagent flow, and precise incubation to each and every slide.
  • Premium staining reagents – Distinctive Novocastra advanced staining reagents and detection chemistry featuring Covertile technology achieve next-level staining.
  • ARC Covertile – Semi-permanent, self-cleaning ARC Covertile provides a sealed staining environment that protects tissue morphology, uses minimal reagents, and provides total tissue care.

Because competing in today’s diagnostic world requires quality diagnosis AND fast TAT.

High productivity through Speed, Quality, and Universal Access

The adaptable workflow, unprecedented speed, and excellent staining quality from the BOND-PRIME instrument delivers enhanced diagnostic productivity for an efficient and confident diagnosis.

  • Speed – Featuring a 95-minute average turnaround time for continuous workflow, individual slides as fast as 1 hour, and less than 130 minutes for a full 24-slide load; BOND-PRIME enables pathologists to deliver a timely diagnosis to patients who need answers quickly.
  • Quality – The BOND-PRIME staining platform delivers vibrant, crisp, clear stains to provide diagnostic clarity.  Excellent staining quality helps you use your time and expertise effectively for a confident and timely diagnosis.
  • Universal Access – Universal Access enables a fully adaptable workflow, decreasing the time to load and stain slides which equates to less time waiting for completed cases.
