Slide processing system

The StatSpin ThermoBrite system provides an easy, safe system for in-situ hybridisation procedures.

The programmable system automates the denaturation and hybridisation steps in slide-based (F)ISH procedures, and provides walk-away convenience for clinical and research personnel. The low-priced unit accepts a wide range of sample types, is easy to use, and is claimed to reduce hands-on time by more than 50% while ensuring overall precision and accuracy in all (F)ISH assays.

The ThermoBrite System holds up to 12 slides. The lid seals tightly when closed providing optimal chamber temperature and humidity. The system maintains uniform temperature across all slide positions ±1°C. Slides can be easily added or removed with one hand. The numeric keypad allows for easy programming with 40 user-defined protocol settings and three modes of operation: denaturation/hybridisation, hybridisation only, and fixed temperature.

The system features stringent temperature control with rapid temperature ramp-up from 37-95°C in 2 minutes and cooling from 95-37°C in 5 minutes.
