Uncompromised Quality and Speed
The KOS system delivers exceptional morphology and staining expression without compromise. Processed specimens exhibit outstanding staining properties for H&E, IHC, and FISH, ensuring reliable diagnostic results. Achieve these high-quality outcomes in a fraction of the time, significantly accelerating laboratory workflows while maintaining precision and consistency.
Rapid Tissue Processing
Rapid tissue processing is the cornerstone of the KOS system, a semi-automatic tissue processor designed for minimal user interaction. Guided by an intuitive, icon-driven touchscreen terminal, operators effortlessly move tissues through fixation, dehydration, clearing, and wax infiltration.
KOS offers a set of pre-stored programs and three specialized Histomodules tailored to meet diverse laboratory needs. The 45K module efficiently handles batches of up to 45 cassettes, while the new 110 Cassette configuration maximizes capacity for higher-throughput labs.
This versatile system ensures rapid, reliable processing with minimal effort, optimizing workflows for laboratories of all sizes.

Bone Marrow Processing
KOS enables same-day diagnoses for bone marrow core biopsies with optimized, pre-saved processing and decalcification protocols. These streamlined protocols ensure fast, efficient turnaround times, delivering quicker results for patients.
Rapid and Optimized Bone Decalcification
KOS leverages innovative technology to accelerate decalcification and processing of bone samples. Its advanced stirring mechanism ensures a continuous flow of fresh decalcifier across the bone surface while efficiently removing saturated solutions, significantly reducing processing times and enhancing consistency.
Recent studies have shown that strong acids (e.g., hydrochloric or nitric) compromise the quantity and quality of RNA and DNA extracted from bone biopsies compared to milder agents like 12.5–14% EDTA and formic acid. To address this, Milestone developed MoL-DECALCIFIER, a cutting-edge pure EDTA solution that maximizes nucleic acid yield and integrity, ensuring superior molecular preservation for downstream analyses.
Electron Microscopy
KOS employs advanced microwave technology to enhance fixation, dehydration, and resin infiltration, significantly reducing processing times while preserving ultrastructural integrity. The system’s efficient stirring mechanism ensures uniform reagent distribution, improving penetration and consistency for high-quality EM results. Compatible with a range of resins and fixatives, KOS meets the rigorous demands of electron microscopy, making it an ideal solution for research and diagnostic laboratories.
