Our happy clients
The FaTech Nova easily produces the best quality printing of histology cassettes that I have seen. I use the analogy and compare it to the printing quality one gets from an inkjet paper printer versus a laser paper printer. Laser wins every time. It is fast, quiet and was easily configured to work with my LIS. I have eliminated the ongoing costs of replacing ribbons and printer heads. The only requirement is that special carbonised cassettes are needed for the laser to print cassettes that are permanent and solvent resistant. This prerequisite however, does not impact greatly on my overall operating budget. I would recommend FaTech’s Nova for any histology lab’s cassette printing needs.
Gone are the days of taking basic photos with a camera and then manually transferring files to the server. With MacroPATH we are able to attach the photos to an accession, annotate, measure and upload automatically onto our server. We also use the MacroPATH for recording cassette IDs/requests/tissue processed for our biopsy specimens. We have found this to be an invaluable tool in retrospectively checking tissue pieces and chain of custody. I highly recommend MacroPATH to any Histology laboratory.
The ability to rapidly decalcify bone without damaging the integrity and antigenicity of the sample has been welcomed by many of our research groups. Whilst traditional decalcification with 10% EDTA takes 6 months at RT (longer at 4oC) to fully decalcify sheep tibial samples, the KOS rapid decalcifier reduces this time frame to 2-3 months, permitting quicker experimental investigations with faster publication of results.
The MAGPIX was introduced to us when we were faced with measuring multiple analytes in very rare and irreplaceable serum samples. That was two and a half years ago. The instrument has enabled us to measure up to 25 inflammatory biomarkers in as little as 25µl of sample. The MAGPIX is compact and sleek, fitting easily onto the laboratory bench in our small laboratory. It has certainly ticked all the boxes for us and I would definitely recommend the MAGPIX to any size laboratory.
