Skip the Manual Embedding Step

Embedding represents one of the most critical bottlenecks in the histology workflow. This time-consuming procedure is carried out manually, and it is therefore operator dependent. Synergy technology eliminates the need to reopen the cassettes and reorient the tissues. The dedicated rack and consumables, in combination with Milestone tissue processors, allow the automatic embedding of up to 45 cassettes per run, regardless of the size and type of tissue. Synergy completely removes the tedious embedding step by utilizing a single tissue processing and embedding protocol.

SYNERGY Rack

with a capacity of up to 45 cassettes

SYNERGY Consumables

Molds and pads in standard and biopsy sizes

Easy and Fast Cassette Preparation

Step 1

Step 1

Place the specimen in the plastic mold and cover it with the special pad.

Step 2

Step 2

Clip the standard cassette as a cover of the mold.

Step 3

Step 3
Place the assembled mold in the Synergy rack slot. Load the rack into your Milestone tissue processor.

From Auto-Embedding to the Cutting Step

Step 4

Step 4

At the end of the automatic tissue processing and embedding steps, slide out the cassettes from the rack and place them on a cold plate.

Step 5

Step 5

The easy opening of the mold enables a quick release of the specimen for cutting.

Patented Technology for Processing + Embedding in One Step

The innovative Synergy technology allows operators to perform simultaneously processing plus embedding. The unique design of the rack enables the movement of the mold+cassette into two positions during the processing step. Through a leverage system, the ring placed at the bottom of the processor retort moves the mold+cassette from an angled for the processing step, to a horizontal for the embedding step.

Angled Position

During fixation and through all other reagent steps, the molds in the rack are held at an angled position.
This allows free circulation of reagents, and the fluids can flow in and out without retention.
Angled position

Horizontal Position

At the end of wax impregnation, the rack is automatically lifted by the processor, and the molds are held at a horizontal position to collect the required paraffin and automatically embed the tissue.
Horizontal position

High flexibility

Synergy is available in multiple configurations designed to optimize processing according to specimen type. A comprehensive range of molds (biopsy,square, needle, standard) and pads—available in different thickness, colors and shapes to ensure a perfect fit with each mold —guarantees optimal results for every individual run. Selected pads are also available with pre-cut lanes and punches to facilitate accurate specimen positioning.
