FISHflow™ TL-101: The First Fully Automated FISH Pre-Treatment System

FISHflow™ TL-101 transforms FISH from a manual, operator-dependent process into a fully automated, standardized workflow—delivering consistent results, faster turnaround, and significantly improved laboratory efficiency.

Why FISHflow™ TL-101

Traditional FISH pre-treatment is the weakest link in the workflow:

• Labor-intensive and time-consuming

• Highly operator-dependent

• Difficult to standardize

• A major source of variability and QC failure

FISHflow eliminates these limitations at the source.

✔ No manual pretreatment

✔ Fully standardized workflow

✔ Reproducible results across operators and labs

End-to-End Automation (True Walk-Away System)

FISHflow automates the entire FISH pre-treatment process in a single run:

• Slide baking

• Deparaffinization

• Heat-induced retrieval

• Enzymatic digestion

• Dehydration

One-click operation. No hands-on steps after loading.

From 3 Hours of Manual Work to Fully Automated Processing

• Tissue samples: ~1.5–2 hours

• Cell samples: ~1 hour

• Daily throughput: up to 80–100 slides

Compared to manual workflow:

• Manual: ~20 slides/day

• FISHflow: up to 5× higher throughput

Dramatically improved lab productivity

What Makes FISHflow TL-101 Different

1. True Full Automation (Not Semi-Automation)

Most “automated” systems still require manual steps.

FISHflow delivers:

• Fully enclosed workflow

• No manual reagent transfer

• Zero operator intervention after start

True walk-away automation

2. Built for Standardization & QC Control

• Precisely controlled temperature and timing

• Pre-programmed and validated workflows

• Reduced contamination risk

Consistent results across runs and sites

3. Superior FISH Performance

• 98% hybridization success rate

• Improved signal consistency

• Lower background noise

Higher first-pass success, fewer repeats

4. Safer & Cleaner Operation

• Xylene-free workflow

• Closed reagent system

• Automated waste management

Improved lab safety and compliance

5. Integrated All-in-One System

• Built-in reagent reservoirs

• Independent chambers for samples and reagents

• Automated system cleaning

Minimal maintenance, maximum uptime

Operational Impact & ROI

FISHflow significantly improves laboratory economics:

• Reduce hands-on time by >70%

• Lower training requirements

• Reduce repeat testing and QC failures

• Minimize reagent waste

Lower cost per test with higher throughput

Designed for Clinical Labs
