High-quality IHC results in 15 minutes.

It's about time

The Celerus Wave™ System is the first and only solution to deliver precise, standardized IHC results within 15 minutes. This unprecedented turnaround time offers the power to accelerate lab throughput, implement intra-operative testing, and provide real-time pathology results to requesting physicians.

It's about results

By providing high-quality IHC results and reflex tests in a fraction of the time normally required, the Celerus Wave™ System ushers in a new era of histology testing. Now clinicians can make immediate treatment decisions, pathology labs can provide enhanced service and patients no longer need to endure traumatic delays.

It's about efficiency

The Celerus Wave™ System provides real-time results for referring physicians, point-of-care testing for patients and continuous work flow for the lab without "batch mode" delays. It's easy-to-use, plug-and-play productivity for histotechs. The Celerus Wave™ System starts with advanced science—and ends up advancing economics.

It's about power

Our patented Dynamic Replenishment Technology™ enables the new wave in anatomic pathology. By utilizing proprietary breakthroughs in hydro-
dynamics and biochemistry, it accelerates reactions in the micro environment—and the patient care environment.

Wave™ System in Use

Step 1Off-line Programming

Patient information, tests requested, and control slides can all be programmed while other Celerus Wave™ System tests are running. Simple pull-down menus allow rapid selection of antibody, detection, and counterstain protocols.

Step 2Slide Labeling

Labels are printed and affixed to slides, and slides are loaded onto the slide rack. Fifty customizable label fields and unique 2-D symbologies ensure compatibility with any lab.

Step 3Slide Rack Loading

After easy insertion of the slide rack, the system verifies that all the necessary slides are present and are correctly positioned.

Step 4Pre-mixed Reagent Magazine and Wicking Cassette Inserted

The system confirms that all necessary reagents are ready. Waste liquid is collected in the disposable wicking cassette, eliminating waste containers and hazardous liquid disposal issues.

Step 5IHC Run Begins

With the push of a button, the Rapid IHC™ process starts. A large, high-visibility on-screen clock counts down the 15 minutes to completion.

Step 6Slide Interpretation

When prompted, high-quality Celerus Wave™ System slides are removed from the instrument, ready for cover slipping and pathologist interpretation. See image gallery.

 

Celerus Wave™ System Features

  • Revolutionary Wave Motion technology accelerates processes, enables 15-minute IHC results, and improves turnaround time by efficiently forcing reagent into tissue and removing unbound chemistries.
  • Ready-to-use, "snap in" linear reagent magazines reliably pre-dilute and dispense reagent onto each slide. This standardizes procedures, increases logistical convenience and eliminates reagent errors.
  • Disposable, self-contained wicking cassette saves costs and improves safety by removing excess reagent. No more hazardous liquid waste issues or external bottles.
  • Parallel slide processing increases speed, throughput and standardization by allowing up to 16 slides to be run in unison.
  • Celerus Wave™ Manager software provides a guided, user-friendly input and selection interface, automatically manages system runs, and requires only minimal training. Specialized web browser software maximizes flexibility by remotely creating labels and reports.

Celerus Wave™ Motion Technology

By repeatedly opening and closing slide segments, revolutionary Dynamic Replenishment Technology™ creates kinetic "waves" which vigorously mix and refresh reagents.

Unlike the time-consuming, passive, gravity-based methods of the past, this active recharging process continuously floods antigenic sites on the tissue with new waves of primary and secondary reagents. Faster and more efficient binding, accelerated reaction times and unprecedented 15-minute IHC turnaround times are now a reality.
