MAGNUS
Lean High-Throughput Tissue Processor

Incomparable flexibility: any tissue, any cassette.
Continuous operation day and night.
MAGNUS is the result of Milestone putting its
30 years of experience to use, resulting in a patented hybrid processing
technology.
Lean by Design. MAGNUS is the processor with
the highest uptime by design. It does not require paraffin transfers, saving
time and potential blockages. There are no cleaning cycles and a reduced
consumption of reagents overall, delivering dramatic cost savings.
Safe by Design. It runs xylene-free, enabling
long paraffin reutilization. Additionally, it checks alcohol purity before
every step using the (optional) reagent sensor.
During the day, MAGNUS runs urgent biopsies
in short, fully automated, continuous loading processes.
During the night, MAGNUS runs as an advanced,
resistant heated, processor. It also allows the user to set fixation time to
fulfill all CAP/ASCO guidelines for assessing HER-2, ER and PgR testing.
Why MAGNUS?
- LEAN WORKFLOW
The unique robotic arm makes MAGNUS the best–in–class Lean Processor. Its continuous automatic processing never
stops, even during reagent
changes.
- IDEAL LAB COMPANION
MAGNUS is always ready to start,
per user demand, creating unrivalled processing efficiency
and performance.
- DRAMATIC REAGENT SAVINGS
MAGNUS tissue processor uses only 100% alcohol, resulting
in significantly lower consumption of reagents overall. With MAGNUS, wax lasts for over
a month as all the clearing reagent, either MileTWO or Isopropanol, is
boiled off in the impregnation step. It delivers substantial savings over
10 years that can equal the
capital purchase cost of the
unit.
- ROBOTIC ARM FOR AUTOMATIC DUAL MODE WITH NO
DOWNTIME
Running in dual mode means no wax is pumping in and out of the retort, therefore a post run cleaning cycle is never
required.
- XYLENE-FREE
- ELIMINATE UNDER-PROCESSED TISSUES
MAGNUS’ efficiency allows for processing large or fatty tissue within a
normal timeline, eliminating the need for reprocessing and eliminating
under-processed tissues.
- NO CHANGE TO YOUR IHC PROTOCOLS, THUS QUICK
VALIDATION
MAGNUS tissue processor will run with your fixative of choice, thus all
downstream test results (IHC, FISH, ISH, etc.) remain the same. No change
to your protocol is required.
- FULL COMPLIANCE
MAGNUS can operate with resistance heating only, and processes i.e. breast
tissue for assessing HER-2 in full compliance with CAP/ASCO guidelines and
FDA HER-2 approved testing, in accordance with heating mode, temperatures,
and reagent types.
- TIME SAVING
MAGNUS allows for the direct transfer
of reagents from commercial
containers (5L / 1Gal supplier bottles) into the
processing retort. There is no downtime for filling tanks as required by conventional tissue
processors.
- MAGNUS NEVER RUNS OUT OF WAX
Its optional extra wax reservoir avoids unwanted
delays due to wax shortages. The wax retort is auto
filled between runs.
- HIGH SAFETY STANDARDS
No decanting of reagents, no
transfers and no reagent fumes.
- ULTRA PROTECTION FOR USER SAFETY
MAGNUS is a fully enclosed system
with a twin fume extraction system
at the retort opening. The slide-out reagent drawer is equipped with an efficient
ventilation/exhaust system.
- ERROR-FREE REAGENT REPLACEMENT
MAGNUS’ reagent replacement is
error-free thanks to a barcode system. When a reagent needs to be replaced, the operator uses the barcode system by scanning both the bottle and position
to ensure correct positioning in the drawer.
- REAGENT QUALITY CHECKS
In-processing reagent quality checks are performed by the
(optional) on-board sensor.
- COLOR CODED UNIT STATUS
Operators can visualize the status
of the unit and if user action is required thanks to the color coded light system.
