Reveal Molecular Signatures with Precision IHC Systems
Automated IHC Staining Systems for Deeper Insights and High-Specificity Tissue Diagnostic.
Streamlined Biomarker Detection with Automated IHC Systems
Immunohistochemistry (IHC) Stainers are essential tools for detecting cellular antigens using labeled antibodies, enabling tissue-based diagnosis of cancers, infections, and other pathologies. These automated platforms optimize consistency, reduce manual error, and support multiplexed staining protocols.
At Cellular Tissue Analysis, based in Indianapolis, IN, our IHC solutions offer fully programmable workflows, smart reagent handling, and LIS integrations supporting high-throughput demands in research and clinical environments.
Core Components of IHC Stainers
Hardware & Fluidic Systems
- Precision liquid dispensers for antibodies, buffers, and chromogens:
Flow & Dispensing Sensors – regulate micro-volume liquid delivery with high accuracy for consistent staining performance across slides. - Onboard refrigerated storage for sensitive reagents:
Environmental Sensors – monitor and maintain optimal temperature conditions to preserve reagent stability and integrity. - Smart reagent tracking with RFID/barcode system:
Proximity & Identification Sensors – enable real-time inventory tracking, validation, and automated logging of reagent usage via RFID/barcode scanning.
