Ultra-rapid turnaround time

Thanks to a microfluidic technology called FFeX and a pressurized system, incubation times are dramatically reduced by accelerating the reagent flow inside a staining chamber.

Open system

LabSatTM Research provides you with many customization options in order to explore the full potential of your research.

High quality stainings

The closed staining chamber allows ultra-rapid and uniform delivery of reagents onto the tissue section, producing homogenous staining across the zone of confinement. Short incubation times limit the exposure of the tissue to harsh conditions and prevents degradation over prolonged assay times.

Compact automation

LabSatTM is a Swiss-made automated stainer of small dimensions. This benchtop device is compatible with the space constraints of a research laboratory.

THE FLEXIBILITY YOU NEED

FFPE IHC

FS IHC

FFPE IF

Multiplexed IF

LabSatTM Research is a powerful research tool that can help you automate a wide range tests involving tissue incubation protocols, such as IHC, IF and multiplexing, among others. To finetune your tests, LabSatTM offers the possibility to modify protocol steps, select different incubation times or choose your own reagents.
Thanks to LabSatTM short turnaround times, you can accelerate the optimization of your incubation conditions and dramatically reduce the overall test time.
The system allows as well the possibility of creating your own Laboratory Developed Tests (LDTs) in order to transfer them from the Research environment into IVD use.

  • Waste

    The waste bottle will collect the reagents after its use.

    Close

  • Distribution chip

    This consumable microfluidic chip is a gateway for reagents to be distributed through the system. It must be replaced every 10 stainings and at the beginning of each day.

    Close

  • Large volume reservoirs

    Buffers and washing solutions are loaded in Falcon® tubes.

    Close

  • Small volume reservoirs

    Reagents are loaded in Eppendorf® tubes.

    Close

  • Compressed air-line

    The system is pressurized to ensure the hermetic closing of the chamber, responsible for the the microfluidic properties that make possible the reduction of incubation times.

    Close

  • Staining chip

    This consumable microfluidic chip forms a closed chamber over the tissue where the staining takes place. It must be replaced after each staining.

    Close

Consumables

Microfluidic Kit

LabSatTM is operated with 2 consumable microfluidic chips where the core of the technology lies. The Microfluidic Kit contains the necessary chips for 25 stainings (5 Distribution Chips and 25 Staining Chips).

Simple Software Interface

LabSatTM Research is operated through a simple, user-friendly computer interface:

• Fully automated solution: automated calibration as well as walk-away function at the end of the day
• Clear overview of the instrument status
• Application protocol templates with pre-selected parameters for optimal results
• Reports generation for tracking purposes
• Numerous customization options to fit researchers’ needs
