Automated IHC Stainer Leasing for Labs

Lease the IHC stainer that fits your throughput and protocols. Automate immunohistochemistry workflows—without tying up your budget.

What Is IHC Staining?

Immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining is a lab technique used to detect specific antigens in tissue sections using labeled antibodies. It’s essential for diagnostic pathology, cancer classification, and biomarker discovery. IHC allows clinicians and researchers to visualize the presence and distribution of proteins within tissues, supporting precise, high-value clinical insights.

Why Lease an IHC Staining System?

Automated IHC stainers streamline diagnostic workflows and improve staining consistency across clinical and research labs. But these systems—especially those with high-throughput capacity, multiplex staining, and integrated slide preparation—can be expensive to purchase and maintain.

Leasing provides a cost-effective way to implement or expand IHC capabilities without delaying procurement or compromising quality. It’s ideal for pathology departments, oncology centers, and academic labs processing growing sample volumes or implementing new diagnostic panels.

Where Leasing an IHC Stainer Adds Value

Leasing is especially helpful when:

  • You’re scaling cancer diagnostics or implementing new biomarker panels — Access automation without upfront spend.
  • You need flexibility across reagents, slide volumes, or LIS integration — Lease systems tailored to clinical or research workflows.
  • You want to preserve capital for staff, assays, or histology infrastructure — Deploy advanced IHC capabilities without budget constraints.

Whether you're upgrading legacy systems or expanding diagnostic capacity, leasing offers speed, flexibility, and consistency.
