Product catalog summary
Introduction
The AVENIO Millisect System is designed to optimize tumor yield through precise tissue dissection, addressing the limitations of current methods that are either too crude or complex. This system enhances the extraction of clinically relevant information from challenging tumor samples.
Tissue Dissection Reinvented
The system minimizes contamination risks associated with manual dissection and sample loss risks with laser capture microdissection (LCM). It improves tumor yield and sample recovery from difficult slides, reducing false negatives and identifying gene mutations missed by manual methods.
System Features
The AVENIO Millisect System offers magnification, digital alignment, and annotation of up to four slides for consistent tissue dissection. It achieves fine recovery of areas of interest (AOIs) as small as 250 μm in diameter using a milling tip. The system employs gentle capillary action for tissue collection and generates a PDF report for traceability.
Optimizing Tumor Yield
The system is effective in isolating clinically relevant cells from heterogeneous or low cellularity tumors, reducing contamination from adjacent normal tissue. It captures complex tumors as small as 250 μm, increasing the percentage of neoplastic cells in samples compared to manual dissection.
Improving Detection and Information
In studies, the system enabled the detection of KRAS mutations missed by manual dissection and identified more single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), including actionable variants. It reduces false negatives and uncovers more actionable tumor information.
Workflow Efficiency
Designed for routine clinical use, the system integrates easily into existing workflows, enhancing efficiency, consistency, and traceability. It simplifies the process of uncovering complex information in tissue samples.
Catalog Information
The document provides catalog numbers and descriptions for various components of the AVENIO Millisect System, including instruments, milling tips, and optional barcode scanners.
Conclusion
The AVENIO Millisect System offers a precise, efficient, and consistent approach to tissue dissection, improving the recovery of clinically relevant information and enhancing laboratory workflows.

Tissue dissection reinvented Current tissue dissection methods can prove either too crude or too complex. The AVENIO Millisect System, employing a simple yet precise FFPE tissue dissection technology, breaks the mold – empowering you to extract the most clinically relevant information from challenging tumor samples. Clean samples, clear profiles Manual dissection can risk accidental contamination with adjancent normal tissue, and laser capture microdissection (LCM) can risk sample loss. The AVENIO Millisect System allows you to optimize tumor yield and improve sample recovery from difficult-to-dissect...

Consistent Annotation Magnification, digital alignment and annotation of up to 4 slides provide consistent and reproducible tissue dissection. Precise Dissection Fine recovery of AOIs as small as 250 pm in diameter are achieved by the AVENIO Millisect Milling Tip. Gentle Recovery Gentle capillary action draws and expels dissected tissue into a collection tube in a hands-free process. Digital Report A PDF report that tracks sample IDs, annotations, pre-and post-dissection images and notes, is automatically generated.

Optimize tumor yield Tumor heterogeneity or low cellularity can make it difficult to isolate clinically relevant cells without contamination from normal adjacent tissue. The AVENIO Millisect System helps you tackle complex tumor cases by improving sample recovery with precise dissection. Reduce contamination and improve tumor yield The AVENIO Millisect System allows users to capture complex tumors as small as 250 μm in diameter. This fine control enables users to increase the percentage of neoplastic cells captured in a sample relative to manual dissection.1 Serial sections from a heterogeneous...
