Now you can perform deparaffinization, pretreatment, histology/cytology staining, special stains (G-banding and other), and routine slide washing with a single system. The VP 2000 Processor easily processes slides using pre-programmed Vysis protocols for fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) for applications such as the recommended paraffin removal and specimen pretreatment protocols for the Vysis UroVysion^TM Bladder Cancer Kit. The easy-to-operate user interface of the VP 2000 allows the user to enter and save user-defined protocols for various staining procedures and specimen pretreatment procedures. This flexibility provides your laboratory with an instrument that can be utilized for multiple functions within a single workday.As your laboratory adds high-volume FISH testing to your menu of routine services, the Vysis VP 2000 Processor provides a flexible and cost-effective solution.
