AutoFind F (Tethis)
autoFIND F coupled to microFIND®, the innovative device developed by Tethis, is an automated slide staining system for the processing of the majority of the steps of the FISH (Fluorescent In Situ Hybridization) assays on cytological samples both in interphase and metaphase. autoFIND F provides for the preparation of 1 up to 4 tests/hybridizations on the same slide thanks to the different configurations of the microFIND® device. It is possible to process up to 16 slides with a maximum of 64 tests per batch. The system permits to perform specific protocols depending on the sample used (cytogenetic pellet or non previously fixed cell) and on specific customer needs. autoFIND F improves throughput, consistency and method standardization. A selection of pre-defined protocols makes it possible to customize the pre-treatment, denaturation and hybridization parameters according to specific specimen requirements. Provided with thermostatic plates and heated housings for the vials, the system can carry out the denaturation of the probes (not supplied with the system) and the following hybridization of the sample with no operator involvement. autoFIND F is realized from the liquid handling Freedom EVO® system of Tecan AG, for which Tethis developed a set of ad-hoc accessories to adapt the platform to the characteristics of the microFIND® device.
