CONTROL OF FIXATION

Accurate control of all the preanalytical process is a prerequisite for precise, reliable and consistent diagnostic assays. Recent publications have evidenced that standardization and documentation of the all fixation steps is important in turn will lead to improved I.H.C. assays.

TODAY’S FIXATION

Leaving the specimens in a plastic container with formalin overnight does not fulfil the requirements for controlled fixation. No standardization, no documentation.

Ā 

  • How many long is overnight?
  • What is the temperature of the fixative?
  • Is stirring available for temperature homogeneity?
  • After how many cassettes is formalin substituted?
  • Is the pH constant?
  • What kind of documentation is available?

Until now, documented fixation protocols could only be obtained by placing specimens in an automatic tissue processor. This means holding a high performance instrument almost idle for hours/days waiting for the fixation process to be completed and documented.

High flexibility

Suitable for all type of racks

The FixSTATION 1RH will accept Milestone racks from the PATHOS and LOGOS family as well as racks from the most common conventional tissue processor of other manufacturers.

Full documentation

With the FixSTATION 1RH, documentation of every factor influencing the fixation process is stored in a events log for easy retrieval. Fixation protocols can be transferred to a USB stick and then printed for Quality Assurance and Compliance regulations. Full compliance to ASCO/CAP recommendations for HER2, ER testing.
