It’s time to do better
Accurate diagnosis begins here
In the field of pathology, the critical importance of the pre-analytical phase is still often underestimated within the entire sample process. Too often, people fail to acknowledge just how vital this phase is, or to reflect on the fact that the final diagnosis can be significantly influenced right from the moment the sample is collected from the patient. Each step of the pre-analytical phase is crucial, yet far too much still relies on ‘eye-balling’ (the antithesis of standardization) and procedures that have remained unchanged over time.
1. BETTER SPECIMEN QUALITY
IT’S TIME TO DO BETTER by providing samples that are optimally processed to preserve their integrity, ensuring reliable and accurate diagnoses.
2. BETTER RESOURCE MANAGEMENT
IT’S TIME TO DO BETTER by enabling laboratories to effectively manage increasing workloads and overcoming the issues posed by staff shortages.
3. BETTER OPERATOR SAFETY
IT’S TIME TO DO BETTER by supplying the right equipment that addresses the laboratory’s needs, optimizing both performance and operator safety.
Make the change today
For this reason, Milestone has designed a streamlined, standardized workflow, where every step is meticulously crafted, supported by technology that enables our customers to successfully achieve their goals. Let’s make that change today, and let’s do it together!
Specimen Collection
Milestone sets the standard for specimen handling excellence. UltraSAFE protects OR staff by automatically dispensing formalin in a sealed chamber. It ensures exposure-free specimen handling with full documentation of specimen weight, time to fixation, formalin ratio, and start of specimen tracking.
Frozen Sections
Milestone provides state-of-the-art solutions for producing high-quality frozen sections, incorporating a patented face-down embedding technique with advanced ultra-fast freezing technology. The PrestoCHILL system cuts freezing time to just 30 seconds, effectively preserving cellular structure while preventing common artifacts. This innovative approach results in an exceptionally flat sample surface, enabling superior precision in cryostat sectioning.
Grossing and Macro Digital
Grossing is an art, and an essential step of the entire specimen journey, therefore it deserves proper tools. UltraGROSS, an ergonomic and modular grossing station, meets rigorous safety standards and adapts to operator needs. Paired with MacroPATH, it provides complete documentation and traceability with high-quality imaging, video, voice recording, and editing capabilities.
Tissue Processing
Tissue processing step is the heartbeat of the AP labs and often even the bottleneck. MAGNUS, a fully automated tissue processor, sets a new benchmark. With its dual processing retorts and robotic arms, it enables continuous batch loading and avoids wax transfer, significantly reducing turnaround time and maximizing productivity—all while maintaining the highest quality standards and ensuring the safety of both operators and specimens.
Embedding and Microtomy
Milestone’s HistoDream line brings consistency and reliability to embedding and microtomy. Our advanced systems streamline workflows, reduce manual handling, and enhance operator safety. Delivering precision in every section, the HistoDream line enables labs to improve efficiency and achieve the highest standards in diagnostic accuracy.
Tracking Systems
Milestone’s tracking solutions bring precision and accountability to the specimen journey, from OR collection to the pre-analytical steps. Our advanced systems, including T-Tracker and MileWATCH, provide automated, real-time tracking and documentation, minimizing errors and optimizing workflows. This controlled approach ensures reliable, fully traceable specimen handling at each stage.
