Laboratory Products 49 Dual-Retort Tissue Processor Accelerates Histopathology Workflows
A compact, dual-retort tissue processor, the HistoCore PEGASUS Plus, has been launched by Leica Biosystems. For the first time, their world-renowned technology will be available to medium-sized laboratories, enabling them to optimise histopathology workflows.
Mid-sized laboratories will now be able to run multiple protocols in parallel on a single instrument, providing a solution that adapts to their workflow needs, and reduces unnecessary hands-on time. The dual retorts on HistoCore PEGASUS Plus increase capacity by 33% compared to a typical 300-cassette single-retort tissue processor.
The HistoCore PEGASUS Plus builds on more than 15 years of experience with the larger HistoCore PELORIS system, and also incorporates Leica’s pioneering integrated track and trace technology, the HistoCore I-Scan. This enables laboratories to capture and store individual cassette information, user interactions and reagent levels, delivering high confidence in the quality of results.
Dr Freida Carson, a world histopathology expert, has written widely about problems with tissue processing and called for a solution to under- or over-processing. This occurs when labs have to process both biopsy and large routine tissue specimens in the same processing run. In an ideal scenario, biopsy and larger sample tissues would be processed separately using a protocol specific to the specimen. The HistoCore PEGASUS Plus addresses this.
“We understand that labs are under pressure of staff shortages, increased daily throughput and additional complexities with processing different types and sizes of tissue,” said Christine Munz, Vice President of Core Histology at Leica Biosystems.
“Large, high throughput labs have confidence in the power and robust performance of our HistoCore PELORIS tissue processing technology. The new PEGASUS PLUS now brings these benefits to mid-sized labs.”
The HistoCore PEGASUS Plus tissue processor expands the dual-retort portfolio offered by Leica Biosystems, bringing a scalable workflow solution to all labs of all sizes, ensuring optimal conditions for each tissue type without slowing down the lab.
The HistoCore PEGASUS Plus is now available in Europe and where the CE mark is accepted for country-specific registration. More information online:

Sustainable Solution for Scale up Chemistry
Compact Multifunctional Mass Flow Meters/Controllers for Gases
Bronkhorst’s new FLEXI-FLOW combines the advantages of a unique through-chip-sensor with proven by- pass technology. The compact thermal mass flow meters and controllers are 35% smaller than traditional instruments, the smallest on the market for flow ranges up to 20 ln/min. Due to the new sensor technique, the instruments feature very stable flow control, but also very fast control, with settling times smaller than 150 ms.
FLEXI-FLOW instruments have integrated temperature and pressure sensors and an on-board gas database for highest accuracy, even at varying process conditions. With this new technology, the instruments are adaptable to many applications through their wide dynamic flow ranges (up to 1:1000). The temperature and pressure signals may provide the user with information about the actual process conditions. So in fact, FLEXI-FLOW is more than just a flow meter or controller; it’s a multi-parameter measurement/control device.
For easy setup and monitoring of the instruments and your process, Bronkhorst introduces a USB-C port, optional Bluetooth communication, and NAMUR status indication by means of coloured LEDs and digital output parameters. FLEXI-FLOW is available in 2 pre-configured models, as a built-to-order version, or as a customised, multi-channel solution, each including free and easy software tools for configuration, and for diagnostics and predictive maintenance.

Developed in response to customer demand, the new CondenSyn MAXI from Asynt is ideal for larger scale synthetic chemical reactions and is the latest addition to their popular laboratory air condenser range which is proven in tens of thousands of installations worldwide.
The CondenSyn MAXI enables scientists to scale up their experiments effectively from small benchtop synthesis to large volume jacketed reactor vessels.
Made using a unique design and manufacturing method, the CondenSyn MAXI has a large surface area specifically fabricated for effective condensing of solvent volumes above 1 litre. With options to suit both reflux and distillation applications, the CondenSyn MAXI is a high-performance alternative to traditional water-cooled condensers. Available in two lengths, the CondenSyn MAXI is suitable for use under vacuum as well as standard laboratory and inert atmospheres.
Offering clear visibility of ongoing experiments, the CondenSyn MAXI is easy to clean and maintain. It is robust and washable like standard laboratory glassware in a dishwasher or solvent-cleaning bath and has a useful no- roll feature which makes storage easy.
Without the need for constant running tap water for cooling, the CondenSyn MAXI also enables laboratories to substantially reduce their environmental impact and their running costs. It also negates any potential flooding, or loss of solvent.
