VP 2000 Processor

CE Marked

Now you can perform deparaffinization, pretreatment, histology/cytology staining, special stains (G-banding and other), and routine slide washing with a single system. The VP 2000 Processor easily processes slides using pre-programmed Vysis protocols for fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) for applications such as paraffin removal and the specimen pretreatment protocols for the Vysis UroVysion Bladder Cancer Kit.

VP 2000

The easy-to-operate user interface of the VP 2000 allows the user to enter and save user-defined protocols for various staining procedures and specimen pretreatment procedures.

This flexibility provides your laboratory with an instrument that can be utilized for
multiple functions within a single workday.As your laboratory adds high-volume
FISH testing to your menu of routine services, the Vysis VP 2000 Processor provides a flexible and cost-effective solution.

Advantages of the VP 2000 Processor are:

  • Convenient walk-away automation to reduce laboratory labor and costs
  • Performs more consistent and standardized FISH assay deparaffinization and pretreatment
  • Validated for use with Vysis FISH pretreatment protocols including solid tumor and cytological specimens, such as amniocytes and bladder tumor cells
  • Full user programmability of events for maximum flexibility
  • Open system is compatible with reagents used in today's laboratories
  • Bulk reagents available for added economy and ease-of-use
  • Driven by a PC with Windows user interface (included in package)
  • Five-way safety protection
  • Reliability to stay on the job processing slides, year after year
