Greater Productivity

MAGNUS, thanks to its innovative technology, allows for continuous batch loading and standard overnight runs to adjust to the laboratory’s turnaround time, enabling it to process up to 600 cassettes at full capacity with dual run modality.
The robotic arm automatically transfers the rack from the main cavity to the wax cavity, freeing up the first cavity for a new rack.
The presence of a dedicated wax cavity eliminates the need to transfer wax into the main cavity, eliminating time-consuming cleaning cycles and issues associated with wax clogging.
The wax reservoir allows automatic paraffin replenishment, transferring molten wax directly into the wax cavity without delays.

High Quality Results

Why is MAGNUS processing quality superior?

1. Properly fixed tissues (great for overnight runs)

The shorter more efficient MAGNUS processing protocols allow for the tissue to be held in formalin for several hours prior to processing (ready first thing in the morning).

2. No over dehydration

Shorted processing times in ethanol will prevent extraction of bound water (over dehydration).

3. No Xylene (aggressive solvent)

The use of Ethanol and Isopropanol alcohols (xylene-free) ensures better outcomes while maintaining user safety.

4. CAP/ASCO guidelines full compliance

MAGNUS complies with the “Optimal tissue handling requirements” of CAP/ASCO guidelines for assessing Her2, ER and PgR testing in breast tissues.

Cost and Time Savings

MAGNUS eliminates the need for wax loading and unloading thanks to its dedicated wax cavity. This feature removes the requirement for end-of-run cleaning cycles, leading to substantial savings in time and reagent costs. Continuous loading boosts laboratory productivity, while optimized MAGNUS protocols ensure excellent timing. The system supports a wide range of protocols, seamlessly adapting workflows to meet lab requirements, such as processing urgent biopsies and delivering same-day breast sample diagnoses. 

Specimens and Personnel Safety

MAGNUS places safety at the forefront. For operators, it provides xylene-free protocols and closed working areas, reducing the exposure to toxic vapors. It also protects specimens using advanced features, such as the split manifold and the ultrasonic sensor, preventing reagent contamination. Additionally, safety modes address potential issues or incorrect reagent loading, preventing tissue damage.

Ease of Use – No Reagents Transfer

Ease of Use – No Reagents Transfer

MAGNUS can use commercially available jugs for the reagent change, thus no decanting is required. The operator will only need to change the exhausted jugs with new ones: reagent change done in seconds.
  • No decanting of reagents
  • No exposure to toxic fumes
  • No wasted tech time decanting and cleaning up spills
  • No tech error by barcode scanning the reagent into the proper position
