AVENIO Millisect System

Overview

The AVENIO Millisect System is an automated, high-performance tissue dissection system that enables precise and consistent recovery of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue areas of interest for molecular pathology. The system is optimized to fit easily into a variety of clinical workflow configurations, improves diagnostic testing results by reducing false negatives, and can help you efficiently extract more clinically relevant information from every sample.

Benefits

Optimize tumor yield and minimize contamination with precise tissue dissection¹
Maximize actionable tumor information and reduce false negative results^1,2
Improve laboratory workflow by ensuring sample acquisition is efficient, consistent³ and traceable.

Product Highlights

Digital annotation

Allows definition of multiple Areas of Interest (AOIs) on a single slide, without limits on geometry
Digitally-assisted alignment to reference slide for up to 4 serial slides
Intuitive software interface to guide user annotations

Automated milling

Faster process with fewer steps and no pre-staining
Precise milling displaces tissue AOIs as small as 250 μm using a rotating action
Automated consumable loading, filling and unloading

Gentle recovery

Hands-free process minimizes potential for contamination
Capillary action used to lift and recover AOIs after milling
No risk of burning or losing sample with gentle, non-laser optics

Comprehensive reporting

Electronic report file, including images, annotations and notes, exportable as a PDF
Pre-and post-dissection image capture
Optional barcode scanning for improved chain of custody
