Roche Ventana HE600 (2018)

Product Code: LAEQ-HAC-2697

Fresh reagent applied to every single slide, from first of the day to last.

The HE 600 detects and handles each slide as an individual specimen, applying fresh ready-to-use reagent to it, and carries the work from baking through deparaffinisation, staining and glass coverslipping inside one instrument. It was built in 2018 and is listed on Medigear.uk for UK business buyers.

An H&E slide passes through several distinct operations before a pathologist sees it: the section is baked onto the slide, the paraffin is removed, the tissue is stained with haematoxylin and eosin, and the slide is coverslipped and cured.

The HE 600 holds all of that in one instrument. Baking, deparaffinisation, staining, glass coverslipping and curing run inside a single floor-standing unit, with slides loaded on trays holding twenty each and ten trays held at once for a capacity of two hundred. Throughput runs at approximately 180 to 200 slides per hour at mid-stain protocols, with the first result available in 40 to 45 minutes on mid-range protocols, and loading is designed for one-touch walkaway operation.

The staining method is what distinguishes the platform. The system detects each slide and treats it as an individual specimen, applying fresh ready-to-use reagent to that slide alone. Because reagent is not shared between slides, the factors that shift stain quality across a run — depletion, dilution, evaporation and oxidation of a shared bath — do not accumulate, and Roche's published material describes the method as mitigating tissue cross-contamination and reagent carryover in the H&E process. The practical consequence is that the first slide of the day and the last are stained by the same conditions. Nine reagents plus coverslips make up the consumable set, all ready to use, and the H&E process runs without xylene or alcohol, which bears on the exposure a laboratory has to manage.

Protocol control is extensive. Over four hundred customised protocols can be held, which allows a laboratory to tune staining to its own tissue types, section thicknesses and reporting preferences rather than working to a fixed recipe. Slides of 25 by 75 mm or 26 by 76 mm are accepted where ISO certified, with one end labelled or painted opaque, and charged slides are not required. Glass coverslips of 24 by 50 mm complete the process.

Traceability runs through the instrument. Barcode reading covers Interleaved 2 of 5, Code 128, Data Matrix, PDF417 and QR among other symbologies, and slides are tracked from drying through to coverslipping, giving a chain of custody across the whole preparation. LIS connectivity is supported through the Ventana workflow solutions, configurable audible and visual alerts are available, and CareGiver remote monitoring and diagnostics support the instrument in service. Direct-to-drain waste disposal was offered as an option.

The system is intended for in vitro diagnostic use in an anatomic pathology laboratory by trained personnel with histology knowledge, and diagnostic interpretation of any stained section remains with the reporting pathologist. The software version, the saved protocols, the service history and the reagent supply arrangements are set out by the seller at quotation, with CE marking documentation, the declaration of conformity, a decontamination certificate and warranty terms issued by the manufacturer or held by the seller.

Routine histopathology reporting rests on H&E sections, and an instrument holding baking through coverslipping produces a finished slide from a cut section without intermediate handling steps.

High-volume laboratories running large daily slide numbers are served by a capacity of two hundred slides loaded at once and throughput of approximately 180 to 200 slides per hour at mid-stain protocols.

Laboratories with mixed tissue types benefit from holding over four hundred customised protocols, since staining can be tuned to the specimen rather than run to one recipe.

Frozen section and urgent work is supported by a first result in 40 to 45 minutes on mid-range protocols, which sets the floor for turnaround from load to coverslipped slide.

Laboratories managing chemical exposure gain from an H&E process that runs without xylene or alcohol, which changes what has to be handled, stored and extracted.

Digital pathology workflows depend on consistent input, and slides stained under the same conditions across a run give a scanning and image analysis pipeline a steadier starting point.

Services with governance and audit obligations are supported by barcode tracking from drying through coverslipping, giving a documented chain of custody for each slide.

Fresh Reagent on Each Slide

The system detects every slide and applies fresh ready-to-use reagent to it, so the reagent that stains one specimen is not carried onto the next.

Consistency Held Across a Full Run

Because reagent is not shared between slides, depletion, dilution, evaporation and oxidation do not build up through a run, so the first slide of the day is stained under the same conditions as the last.

Four Operations in One Instrument

Baking, deparaffinisation, staining, glass coverslipping and curing all run inside a single floor-standing unit, which removes the transfers between separate machines.

Two Hundred Slides Loaded at Once

Ten trays of twenty slides give a full load of two hundred, supporting one-touch walkaway operation across a batch.

First Slide Inside Three Quarters of an Hour

A first result at 40 to 45 minutes on mid-range protocols sets a predictable floor for turnaround from load to finished slide.

Over Four Hundred Protocols Held

Extensive protocol storage lets a laboratory tune staining to its own tissue types, section thicknesses and reporting preferences.

An H&E Process Without Xylene or Alcohol

Removing both from the H&E process changes what a laboratory has to store, handle and extract, which bears directly on technologist exposure.

Chain of Custody Through Preparation

Barcode reading across several symbologies tracks each slide from drying to coverslipping, giving documented traceability for audit.

Remote Monitoring in Service

CareGiver remote support provides automated monitoring and diagnostics for the instrument, supporting continuity of service.

No Deionised Water Supply Needed

The instrument runs without a deionised water hook-up, which simplifies what a site has to provide.

This Roche Ventana HE 600 was built in 2018, and the case for it rests on how the slide is treated. The system detects each slide and handles it as an individual specimen, applying fresh ready-to-use reagent to that slide alone, so depletion, dilution, evaporation and oxidation do not accumulate across a run and the first slide of the day is stained under the same conditions as the last. Around that sits consolidation: baking, deparaffinisation, staining, glass coverslipping and curing all inside one floor-standing instrument, with two hundred slides loaded across ten trays, throughput of approximately 180 to 200 slides per hour at mid-stain protocols, a first result at 40 to 45 minutes, over four hundred customisable protocols, and an H&E process that runs without xylene or alcohol. Barcode tracking from drying to coverslipping documents a chain of custody for each slide. The instrument is intended for in vitro diagnostic use by trained laboratory personnel, and diagnostic interpretation of any section remains with the reporting pathologist. The software version, saved protocols, service history and reagent supply arrangements are set out by the seller at quotation. Medigear.uk lists the system for UK business buyers and can arrange delivery, installation, staff familiarisation, service cover and the supply of reagents, coverslips and spares.
