BOND-MAX Fully Automated IHC and ISH Staining System

Description

BOND-MAX Fully Automated IHC and ISH Staining System

The compact solution that outperforms larger systems

Get more from your lab with the flexible, efficient, and surprisingly fast BOND-MAX. This small-footprint, bench-standing instrument gives you the predictability you need, thanks to an efficient and organized three-tray system. With its consistent 3.5-hour run time, you can plan your day while completing cases faster than those running on larger systems.

BOND-MAX also helps you maintain your uncompromising quality standards, thanks to the gentle Covertile system and comprehensive reagent menu. All backed by expert support from Leica Biosystems’ highly experienced science, engineering, and manufacturing teams.

Make Every Inch of Your Lab Count

Meet the demands of ever-increasing slide volumes with the space you have. BOND-MAX is a bench-standing IHC/ISH stainer with a small footprint.

Ensure Quality. Use Low Volumes, and Reduce Waste

Supporting both 100 µl and 150 µl staining, the BOND Covertile ensures gentle and effective reagent application that protects tissue through the entire staining process.

Flexible, Efficient & Consistently Fast

The three-tray system, with consistent and predictable 3.5-hour run times, provides the flexibility to accommodate incoming workloads and the predictability needed for daily planning.

Each tray functions independently, allowing on-demand access and enabling you to load slides as they become available. Additionally, the system accommodates up to 29 antibodies (with detection loaded) and allows for easy swapping of antibodies without interrupting ongoing staining processes.

Designed With the User in Mind

Usability is key to productivity, and instrumentation should support your lab environment. Interact with BOND-MAX on your terms, thanks to see-through bottles for on-the-fly capacity checks, continuous access to detection kits, antibodies, and probes as well as a highly visual, task-focused user interface

Staining – With Confidence

The BOND Liquid Level Sensor measures reagent volumes before each dispense to ensure there is sufficient reagent for a full dispense onto every slide.
