VENTANA® HE 600

The VENTANA HE 600 system is intended to automatically stain histologic sections of formalin-fixed, paraffin- embedded (FFPE) specimens on microscope slides, with hematoxylin and eosin. The system fully automates the process of baking, deparaffinization, staining, and coverslipping of specimens on microscope slides. The VENTANA HE 600 system is intended for use in the anatomic pathology (AP) laboratory environment by trained laboratory personnel who are knowledgeable in histology processes and have basic computer operation skills.
