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.

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
