Abbott Molecular ThermoBrite Automated Slide Processing System for FISH Applications

The Abbott Molecular ThermoBrite Slide Processing System is a compact, automated workstation designed for precise and reproducible fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and molecular diagnostics workflows. Featuring a programmable temperature control range from ambient +5°C up to 99°C, the system accommodates up to 12 standard microscope slides on a uniform heating plate optimized for consistent assay conditions.

Key technical specifications include:

• Temperature range: 30°C - 99°C (lowest programmable temperature is ambient +5°C or 30°C, whichever is higher)
• Capacity: Holds up to 12 standard slides simultaneously
• Programmability: Stores up to 40 custom protocols for denaturation and hybridization with precise timing (00:00 to 99:59 hr:min)
• Ramp and Cooling Times: Rapid heating from 37 to 95°C in under 3 minutes, and cooling from 95 to 45°C in less than 6 minutes
• Humidity Control: Built-in humidity slots maintain reagent hydration, essential for overnight or extended hybridization protocols
• Dimensions: 22.8 cm (W) × 45.1 cm (D) × 13.5 cm (H), weighing 8.5 kg
• Electrical: Operates on 120 VAC, 50/60 Hz, 3 A power supply

The design's space-saving footprint makes it ideal for crowded clinical and research laboratories specializing in molecular diagnostics, cytogenetics, bioprocessing, and biotechnology. Its precise temperature control and programmable steps are critical for hybridization accuracy in gene editing research and synthetic biology applications. The ThermoBrite system is widely adopted in molecular cloning workflows and biopharmaceutical production pipelines where consistent slide processing is mandatory.

Included accessories: 12 slide holders, user manual, and 120V power cord (3A). The system comes with a 30-day warranty and has been fully tested for operational integrity.

This benchtop hybridization oven is essential for laboratories performing fluorescence analysis and molecular pathology, ensuring optimal assay reproducibility in advanced biomedical engineering and clinical diagnostics settings.
