TORRANCE, CA – Sakura Finetek USA, Inc. today announced the publication of a significantly expanded reagent and consumables Catalog for the Tissue-Tek Genie^® Advanced Staining System.
 
“We are excited about this expanded Catalog of ready-to-use antibodies, which now also includes our DUO  product line for dual staining (DAB and AP Red) as well as a section about our global Optimal Only antibody release strategy for our Genie IHC System.  In addition, this Catalog links the multiple stain images for each antibody to a designated webpage called the Advanced Staining Gallery, which is specifically designed for pathologists to conveniently review our high-quality stains using the respective criteria with a magnification range between 1x and 20x”, said George Kennedy, Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing.

“The newly issued Catalog includes an additional 74 antibodies for IHC scored Optimal by a world-leading external quality assurance institute and expands the portfolio of diagnostic tests now available to laboratories which significantly increases the diagnostic utility of the

These antibodies have all been scored optimal by a world-leading external quality assurance institute. Another unique feature is the inclusion of links for each antibody image to an Advanced Stain Gallery allowing you to see the results from our validation studies and to display assay performance that was scored optimal.
 
 About the Genie System
 
Quality that excites.  Sakura Finetek partnered with NordiQC (www.nordiqc.org), a world-leading external quality assurance institute, to assure optimal stain quality for our entire menu of antibodies.  The species and clones of Genie antibodies have been carefully selected and proficiently developed to meet our rigorous standards.  The stain protocols for Genie antibodies provide exceptional sensitivity and specificity to enable accurate assessment of patients’ specimens by pathologists.
 
Stop sorting, gain time.  With its 30 fully independent staining stations, the Genie offers true random access and does not slow down when more slides are added.  Users can eliminate time-consuming slide sorting or grouping, and instead simply load their next most important slide or case.
 
Flexibility that liberates.  Laboratories can use Genie’s unique and innovative single-use
capsules for antibodies or probes and load them on Genie’s independent staining stations together with the slides.  The 250-test Genie Pro Detection Systems (DAB, AP Red, DUO) and antibody cartridges are loaded onto the system’s carousel, which deliver the reagents in constant timed cycles guaranteeing predictable workflow.  Genie allows users to realize flexibility, better economy, and faster turnaround time.
 
Fast to learn, easy to operate.  The Genie Software uses intuitive graphics and two mouse-
click navigation for simplified operation, and provides a comprehensive status at a glance.  The replacement of bulk reagents and waste bottles is quick and strain-free.
