Bond System for Fully Integrated IHC and ISH staining

Broad Spectrum Histology

Leica Microsystems … your single source for histology. From patient to pathologist we supply all of your histology needs.

Fully integrated IHC and ISH: simple to use, brilliant results

The Bond system produces brilliant staining results by uniting precision instruments with superior reagents. Complete automation and continuous processing accelerates laboratory workflow. Quality and productivity: Bond is the ideal way to automate IHC and ISH staining.

The walkaway staining/coverslipping solution!

Leica's Walkaway Staining/Coverslipping Workstation

The Leica ST5020 gives consistent staining results efficiently and economically. With a throughput of more than 400 slides per hour, the compact Leica CV5030 is one of the fastest glass-on-glass coverslippers currently available. Together, the ST5020 multistainer integrated with the CV5030 glass coverslipper creates a true "walkaway" staining and coverslipping solution.

Superior reagents for enhanced sensitivity, specificity, and consistency

Human breast carcinoma: immunohistochemical staining for estrogen receptor using NCL-L-ER-6F11. Note intense nuclear staining of tumor cells. Paraffin section.

The Novocastra reagent range includes antibodies, probes, detection systems, and ancillaries. These advanced products provide superior results in IHC and ISH staining as well as other advanced diagnostic techniques.

One-of-a-kind network imaging solution

The Leica DMD108 Network Imaging Solution

The Leica DMD108 addresses the growing workload in today's busy histopathology laboratory and the need to quickly share data. The pathologist no longer needs to look through a microscope's eyepieces to view and analyze specimens. The DMD108 displays high quality images with brilliant color fidelity directly on a monitor via an integrated high-resolution camera and powerful image processing software.
