Automated analysis of CTC's caught with Parsortix. This RNS was13 Dec 2025 15:30
Very significant. " Parsortix platform shown to be compatible with the Roche BenchMark ULTRA automated staining system, with initial study of three key drug targets: HER2 (breast), TROP2 (lung) and PSMA (prostate)".
Automating analysis of CTC samples found using Parsortix. Offers Myriad Genetics a way to more quickly analyse parsortix samples. In time the "dual analysis" assays might be added to the machines capabitities!!!! It already supports 250 or so assaya.
=====================
The Roche BenchMark ULTRA is a sophisticated, fully automated system for staining microscope slides in anatomic pathology labs, automating complex processes like baking, deparaffinization, and staining for Immunohistochemistry (IHC) and In Situ Hybridization (ISH). It provides high-quality, consistent diagnostic slides by individually processing up to 30 slides, improving lab efficiency, reducing manual touchpoints, and supporting a vast library of assays for personalized medicine and companion diagnostics.
Key Features & Functions:
Full Automation: Handles baking, deparaffinization, and staining steps, freeing up technologists.
Individual Slide Control: Features 30 independent drawers with controlled heaters and liquid coverslips for precise, customized protocols for each slide.
Workflow Efficiency: Offers a single-piece workflow, allowing access to reagents and waste removal without interrupting ongoing staining runs.
Broad Assay Menu: Supports over 250 ready-to-use assays for IHC, ISH, SISH, immunofluorescence, and multiparameter staining.
Improved Quality: Uses air vortex mixers and controlled heating for uniform reagent distribution and consistent staining.
Enhanced Software (ULTRA PLUS): Includes features like remote connectivity, electronic inventory, and easier navigation for better lab management.
Waste Management: Advanced systems, like the DAB degradation in the PLUS model, meet stringent environmental standards.
Purpose:
It's used by pathologists and lab personnel to detect analytes on tissue samples (like FFPE blocks) to aid in diagnosing diseases, particularly in cancer diagnostics and personalized medicine.
