EVO | Milestone Medical

Conventional processing of biospecimens relies on outdated technology that has inherent limitations in terms of safety, processing time, workflow and uptime. Milestone has developed a new platform of tissue processors, EVO and MANGUS, to drastically reduce operational costs, achieve same day diagnosis with improved workflow flexibility and reduce repetitive and harmful tasks for the histotechs.

EVO is an automatic ultra-rapid dual retort tissue processor, with an open system that is xylene-free. EVO operates with standard 5-liter or 1-gallon commercial containers, eliminating decanting and cutting reagent replacement time.

Why EVO?

NO DECANTING OF REAGENTS
Valuable Tech time savings. No chemical spills nor breathing of toxic fumes.
Safer for Techs and Patient Tissues.
DUAL MODE: NO CLEANING CYCLE
Major reagent cost savings. No 45 min wait for the next processing
LOW OPERATING COSTS
Month-long lasting paraffin. No cleaning reagents when used in “Dual Mode”.
Greatly reduced clog risk in “Dual Mode”– paraffin is not pumped through the unit.
CONTINUOUS LOAD DUAL RETORT
Reduced specimen turnaround time. Top workflow flexibility = stressless work.
Same day diagnosis.
SAFE BY DESIGN
Xylene-free processing. Split manifold to segregate water-based vs alcohol-based reagents.
Real-time monitoring with MileWATCH (optional).
LONGER PRE-SOAKING FIXATION
Large tissues ultrarapid processing allows for longer formalin overnight pre-soaking with tissues ready first thing in the morning. Improved tissue quality.
AUTO-EMBEDDING
Time/Cost savings. Help overcome personnel shortage.

Enhanced Traceability

EVO is compatible with MileWATCH software, which tracks the specimen’s data starting from its collection in the Surgical Theatre and continuing throughout the Pathology Laboratory through processing.
Milestone R-Tracker, an automatic rack scanner, is also available for the automatic and fast cassette scanning.
