Product catalog summary
Overview: Milestone's innovative line of grossing devices aims to simplify, standardize, and document grossing procedures, reduce turnaround time, and improve diagnostic quality. These devices are designed in accordance with ASCO/CAP recommendations for HER-2, ER, and EgR testing.
ProCUT Slicing Devices: These devices are engineered to speed up, simplify, standardize, and document grossing procedures. They allow for the slicing of fresh breast tissues at 5mm thickness in less than 10 minutes, eliminating guesswork and ensuring consistent slicing of large fresh and fixed tissues. This standardization accelerates fixation procedures and reduces the total turnaround time of biospecimens.
Device Specifications:
  • ProCUT P 5: Suitable for slicing whole prostate at 5mm intervals, allowing reliable comparison studies between MRI and histological results.
  • ProCUT XL 5: Designed for a wide variety of specimens, including breast, kidney, lungs, and heart, with preset thicknesses.
  • ProCUT XXL 5: Ideal for slicing large specimens like mastectomies at 5mm intervals.
Standardization and Documentation: The devices eliminate the need for gross hardening, overnight pre-fixation, and cooling/freezing of specimens prior to sampling. They allow for easy dissection of fresh tissues and standardization of the grossing step.
CheckLITE Device: A non-contact, laser-based thickness measuring device that provides instantaneous readouts with high sensitivity. It ensures that specimen thicknesses fit selected protocols, reducing the need for reprocessing and improving processing quality.
Macro Digital Imaging System: This system allows for the rapid capture, annotation, and storage of gross specimen images, ensuring distortion-free and high-quality tissue processing. It is suitable for use in microwave and conventional tissue processors and is available in various thicknesses to fit specific requirements.
