Description
BOND RX Fully Automated Research Stainer
Unlock Breakthroughs Sooner with the Freedom to Explore
Bring your next major insight to life faster. Rely on the BOND RX to run IHC, ISH, FISH, CTC, multiplexing, and more with confidence. Test hypotheses your way with open reagents, open detection kits, and adaptable protocols. The BOND RX gives labs a straightforward path to fully automated testing and faster-moving research programs.
- Accelerate test programs with higher throughput, improved efficiency, and dependable automation, reducing hands-on steps so researchers spend less time at the bench and more time innovating.
- Maintain morphology and the integrity of valuable tissue with the unique Covertile system, enabling tightly controlled, more consistent reagent dispensing. 91% of customers say stain quality and reproducibility outperform the competition.*
- Commercialize your discovery with a clearer route from research to clinical applications, while expanding access along the way.

Flexible Methods That Transform Theory Into Application
With BOND RX, researchers can automate emerging molecular techniques, customize each protocol element, and transform concepts into results.
- ISH Probes: Take advantage of new options for probe application and removal.
- Staining: Adjust incubation times, temperatures, and dispense parameters to fit your needs.
- Preparation: Personalize baking and dewaxing settings.
- Antigen Retrieval: Modify incubation time and temperature as necessary.

Get Up and Running Right Away
BOND RX makes it simple to use the unique reagents you’re developing and rapidly automate innovative tests. You can even pipette directly into open containers to load your antibody or probe onto the BOND RX.
- Automate staining while using minimal volumes of high-value reagents with Titration containers.
- Build your own detection kits with straightforward, efficient research detection kits.

Do More, Faster, with BOND RX
BOND RX helps research labs work more efficiently by simplifying test management and adding flexibility.
- Check bulk reagent levels instantly using a unique active lighting system.
- Save time by keeping antibodies, probes, and detection systems accessible whenever you need them.
- Remove routine chores and keep maintenance to a minimum.
- Reduce user strain with lightweight containers designed for easy handling.

Trust Your Results with Advanced Covertile Innovation
BOND Covertile helps protect tissue morphology and supports gentle, consistent reagent application—unlike systems that may not use a Covertile at all, or may not use it throughout every step of the process.
Bridge the Gap from Lab to Marketplace: Gain tools that let you customize protocols and simplify the transition to clinical use. Shared core technology provides a clear path from research to clinical.
Total Transparency Across Operations: With BOND RX, researchers remain in control. It delivers the visibility needed to fully understand each test—you can view reagent application, track protocol progress, receive comprehensive reports, and more.
