Features
Product Features
Ensure User Accountability with Track and Trace
The unique Track and Trace feature has 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 eliminates manual documentation and ensures you know who is doing what and when in your lab.
Avoid Disaster 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.
Process Tissue Faster
Run two protocols at the same time for faster tissue processing – including biopsy, large tissue, and fatty tissues – and quicker turnaround times overall. Plus, PELORIS 3 allows for the use of xylene-free reagents for a healthier lab environment.
Better than Conventional or Microwave Systems
Labs can move beyond conventional or microwave technology with ActivFlo. 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.
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. It also ensures reagent quality and a higher level of specimen safety.
Intuitive UI Makes Everything Run Smoothly
The user interface provides seamless workflow navigation. It is intuitive so users can easily trace all activities, troubleshoot problems, and get metrics for reagent and protocol management.
Designed to be User Friendly
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.
Validated Consumables

Ease of Use with PELORIS Parablocks™ Paraffin
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 PELORIS 3 paraffin chamber and melt faster than pellets or flakes. Once the chamber is filled with Parablocks , there is no need for the technician to return later to determine the paraffin volume and add additional paraffin.
Maximize ActivFlo Benefits with Optimized Cassettes
Leverage ActivFlo cassettes designed with a lateral vent for increased fluid flow. These one-piece cassettes feature a frangible lid for easy removal and a 45-degree writing surface. They also have a printing error rate of less than 1%.
