Product Features

Ensure User Accountability with Track and Trace

The Track and Trace feature have an integrated bar code scanner that records basket IDs, user IDs, and reagent lot numbers. Data is captured in the built-in Reporting Module, which reduces manual documentation and ensures you know who is doing what and when in your lab.

Ensure User Accountability with Track and Trace

Reduce Potential Reagent Exchange Errors with Two Density Meters

Two built-in density meters help limit the risk of lab errors during reagent change. They monitor such changes and alert users if there’s an incorrect concentration to protect the integrity of the tissue. As a result, reagent change errors can be significantly reduced.

Avoid Disaster with Two Density Meters

Rapid and Flexible Tissue Processing

Run two protocols at the same time for rapid tissue processing – including biopsy, large tissue, and fatty tissues – and quicker turnaround times overall. Plus, HistoCore PELORIS 3 allows for the use of xylene-free reagents for a healthier lab environment.

Accelerate Tissue Processing with the ActiFlo System

This unique feature generates ideal processing conditions for all tissue using a reagent vortex to actively accelerate processing through rapid and even-heating, as well as active reagent distribution.

Better than Conventional or Microwave Systems

Combine Specimen Tracking with CEREBRO

Basket-tracking can be combined with CEREBRO for more precise individual specimen tracking. As a result, labs know exactly where each specimen is and its processing history.

Intuitive User Interface

The user interface provides seamless workflow navigation. It is intuitive so users can easily trace all user activities, troubleshoot problems, and get metrics for reagent and protocol management.

Designed to be User Friendly

HistoCore PELORIS 3 is designed to be easy to use. The basket has an integrated handle to provide stability during transport and wedges on the retort lid for secure basket placement. Plus, the LED back lit bottles make it simple to identify liquid levels and reagent state.

Ease of Use with PELORIS Parablocks™

Eliminate pellet spills and the need to transfer molten paraffin with Leica PELORIS Parablocks . These preformed blocks of paraffin in plastic molds fit easily into the HistoCore PELORIS 3 chambers and melt faster than pellets or flakes.
