FINEFIX MODULE
The high quality of Milestone frozen sections can only be obtained by freezing the specimens with PrestoCHILL and by processing the slides with FineFIX (patent n. EP 1 455 174 B1) before staining. FineFIX is an ethanol-based patented fixation and processing reagent. Its formulation with low-toxicity additives overcomes the drawbacks commonly associated with the use of pure ethanol or ethanol-based fixatives, e.g. significant tissue shrinkage, vacuolization and pyknotic nuclei.
The FineFIX Module consists of a heated metal vessel in which the FineFIX solution is kept at 40°C. Frozen section slides are immersed in the solution for 15-60 seconds in order to simultaneously carry out the specimen’s fixation, dehydration and lipids extraction. After this pre-step, the specimens are stained according to the user’s standard protocols.
About
Milestone Med SRL in India
Milestone is an Italy-based company founded in 1988, specializing in advanced microwave instrumentation for analytical and organic chemistry laboratories. It was the first company to design and build microwave tissue processor for histology labs and subsequently created the first, fully automated, high-throughput microwave processor.
From the surgery suite to the laboratory, Milestone provides for preservation of vacuum-sealed "fresh" specimens through the system for vacuum transfer of biospecimens, which uniformly monitors both specimen temperature and time.
Milestone's products include a wide range of workstations and macro digital imaging systems for both grossing and autopsy rooms with a focus on pre-analytical aspects. The product range also includes instruments that improve cryoembedding and staining processes leading to high-quality frozen sections in less than 10 minutes.
Milestone’s Medical equipment range is represented in India by DSS from 2017 onwards providing solutions for enhancement of quality in Immunohistochemistry and offer same day solution for early disease management and shorter TAT.
