Make a Difference with Accurate and Timely Slides

The BOND-III stainer provides you with all of the pieces to solve the diagnostic puzzle quickly and consistently. Maximize your lab space with this compact solution that combines efficiency and organization, allowing you to achieve up to 62% more slide throughput per m2* compared to other leading instruments on the market.

  • Independently benchmarked antibody clones means quality that Pathologists can trust: pair the BOND-III stainer with optimized Novocastra HD BOND reagents and BOND Compact Polymer Detection solutions.
  • Preserve morphology and integrity of precious tissue with the unique Covertile system that allows you to dispense reagents in a highly-controlled and more consistent manner. 91% of customers find the stain quality and reproducibility to be better than the competition.*
  • Designed with the user in mind, everything from immediate reagent access with real-time measurements/alerts and greater flexibility over the competition to swap out reagents during protocol runs, to the intuitive user interface and case management with 3 independent trays, makes the BOND-III instrument the ultimate team player to meet your lab’s needs.

Product Features

When Delivering a Case to the Pathologist, it’s the Last Slide that Matters

A complete case means that the last slide is as important as the first. The BOND-III stainer helps you deliver the entire case in the shortest amount of time while maintaining excellent standards in quality. Other systems prioritize individual slides at the expense of overall case completion, meaning it takes longer to finalize the last slide in the case.

“Diagnosing a case without all of the slides is like trying to do a puzzle with pieces missing…”

Last Slide Matters

Make Every Inch of Your Lab Count

Meet the demands of ever-increasing slide volumes with the space you have. The BOND-III stainer produces the most number of slides in the least amount of space, allowing you to achieve up to 62% more throughput per m2 compared to other leading instruments.

Your Next Step Illuminated

Never worry about when a bottle needs to be filled or emptied. The BOND-III stainer is the only IHC/ISH instrument to illuminate bulk reagent levels with LED backlighting to provide a clear, visual alert should the laboratory need to either top-up a reagent bottle, or empty a waste bottle.

BOND-III Illuminates Reagent Levels

Designed with the User in Mind

The highly visual user interface features easy-to-identify icons, making it faster, easier, and more efficient for staff to execute tasks and avoid errors. In addition, with the BOND-III platform you have immediate access to antibodies, probes, and detection systems with real-time measurements, alerts for reagent management, and greater flexibility over the competition to swap out reagents during protocol runs.

BOND-III User Friendly Interface

Covertile System – Reduce Waste

The BOND Covertile minimizes the amount of reagent needed to make an IHC slide. This generates low total waste volumes while the BOND-III instrument additionally separates hazardous waste from standard waste for efficient waste disposal.

Covertile System – Ensure Quality

The BOND Covertile provides total tissue care throughout the entire staining process. The BOND Covertile protects tissue morphology, allows full tissue coverage, and enables gentle and consistent reagent application.

Proven Staining Quality = Quality Pathologists can Trust

With in-house development of our antibodies and the complete BOND system – instrument, antibodies, diluent, and detection working together in an optimized manner – we ensure superior real-world performance.

Our Novocastra reagent solutions include fully-automated and ready-to-use (RTU) antibodies, probes, detection systems, and ancillaries, empowering labs to deliver high-quality and reliable staining to support patient care.

“The basis of all rational therapy is the diagnosis…”
