greater Efficiency
Help more patients and lower costs
Go Lean. Be flexible and methodical. Eliminate unnecessary work and stain more slides in less time.

 No mixing, no dilution, no titration

Ready-to-Use reagents eliminate prep work.

 No waiting
Three independent slide trays ensure flexibility and continuous staining.

 No sorting
Trays keep your cases organized, not random.

Rapid, secure tray loading New smooth-glide insertion means trays slide into place and lock with minimal force. Quickly check bulk fluids Pre-run fluid check only takes a glance thanks to the clear viewing window.

Multi-tray system the flexibility of three instruments, the maintenance of one.

BOND Ready-to-Use reagentssimply scan and load for high-quality IHC.

Bulk reagentseasy to check and quick to fill or empty.

improved Flexibility
Quickly adapt to challenges and opportunities
Easily introduce fully automated IHC and ISH into your laboratory. With a small footprint, lower costs and straight-forward operation, Leica BONDMAX makes it easy to quickly add advanced staining capacity.

 Fitting right in
With a small footprint and bench-top mounting, Leica BOND-Max fits easily into almost any existing laboratory space.
