AFMS partners with Milestone to provide a unique automatic tissue processing line. It is equipped with a Hybrid heating core that is based on a microwave plus conventional heating technique. This technology drastically reduces specimen processing time offering the patient, quality diagnosis in a shorter time for immediate treatment.
With the validated xylene-free process MAGNUS, LOGOS EVO, LOGOS One EVO and KOS become the ideal choice for the challenges faced by modern Pathology labs.
MAGNUS is the processor with the highest uptime by design. It does not require paraffin transfers, saving time and potential blockages. There are no cleaning cycles and a reduced consumption of reagents overall, delivering dramatic cost savings.
Safe by Design. It runs xylene-free, enabling long paraffin reutilization. Additionally, it checks alcohol purity before every step using the (optional) reagent sensor.
During the day, MAGNUS runs urgent biopsies in short, fully automated, continuous loading processes. During the night, MAGNUS runs as an advanced, resistant heated, processor. It also allows the user to set fixation time to fulfill all CAP/ASCO guidelines for assessing HER-2, ER and PgR testing.
LOGOS is the first all-in-one tissue processor with the exclusive Milestone patented microwave hybrid processing technology.
This system can operate as a conventional resistance-heated overnight tissue processor. It fulfills all CAP/ASCO guidelines for assessing HER-2, ER and PgR testing in breast tissues. Ultra-rapid dehydration/clearing steps are carried out by microwave heating technology for a faster turnaround. Its processing parameters can be set to fit your specific workflow requirements.
Fully automated processing in overnight and rapid mode | Parallel processing in continuous flexible-size batch mode | Up to 210/300 cassettes with 5L reagent containers | Direct transfer of solutions from commercial containers | Any type of tissue, up to 5mm thickness in split rack (210) or random basket rack (300) | Any type of tissue, up to 8mm thickness in super mega cassettes rack (24/40)
During the day, LOGOS One can run urgent biopsies in a short time as a fully automated unit. Molten wax is automatically transferred to and from the processing retort for the impregnation step.
During the night, LOGOS One can run protocols as an advanced and resistant heated processor. Improved operations are carried out through xylene-free protocols with only four reagents: formalin, ethanol, isopropanol and wax. It also has an optional delayed start mode, with a desired completion time set by the user, to allow additional fixation time, if needed.
LOGOS One tissue processor uses only 100% alcohol, resulting in significantly lower consumption of reagents overall.
Only two processing steps (1 ethanol and 1 isopropanol) | Fully automated processing in overnight and in rapid mode | Parallel processing in continuous flexible-size batch mode | Up to 140 cassettes with 1gallon standard reagent containers Up to 210/300 cassettes with 5L reagent containers | Any type of tissue can be processed, up to 10mm of thickness
LOGOS EVO offers innovative and practical solutions to overcome the well-known challenges of the crucial pre-analytical phase. The second-generation LOGOS EVO offers new features for faster and even more reliable processing.
LOGOS EVO makes the process up to 6 times faster and more efficient due to its hybrid technology. It fully embraces the principle of the “lean lab”, avoiding working peaks and balancing operator time for an improved workflow. Urgent specimens can be processed throughout multiple daytime cycles, by either using the automated or dual-run capabilities of the LOGOS EVO. Large and fatty specimens are typically done overnight.
Dual Retort | Guided Procedure | Hybrid Technology | Dual Reagents Circuits
The LOGOS One EVO is the state-of-art in traditional tissue processing. It is a flexible tool to ensure a more efficient workflow and optimized use of operator time. Urgent specimens, often small biopsies, can be processed throughout multiple daily cycles, either using the automated or dual-run capabilities of LOGOS One EVO; large and fatty tissues are typically processed overnight.
LOGOS One EVO integrates a unique reagent management system to simplify the handling of reagents and ensures increased safety for operators and specimens.

Embedding will now have an added value: histotechs, while embedding, can scan the cassettes’ bar code and visually check the biopsies/specimens conformity to their original shape and numerousness, as images at the time of grossing and cassetting are displayed on the HistoDream EW screen.
HistoDream EW is a robust and reliable unit built to last: it is the ideal companion for tissue embedding and it’s fully equipped to answer any histotech request.
The sectioning phase of histological tissues is a pivotal step for H&E, IHC & molecular techniques. This process requires an advanced tool to ensure high-quality sections, allow for safe and ergonomic operations for the technician and provide an efficient workflow.
The Milestone microtome line has been built to address all these challenges through rotary microtomes designed around your needs. The HistoDream M, semi-automated, and HistoDream AM, fully automated, offer a rugged and reliable approach to sectioning.
During paraffin block cutting, electrostatic charges may often occur. These charges make the ribboning difficult, as the sections stick to the paraffin block itself, to forceps and to user’s fingers. The transfer to water bath is almost impossible and this cause a delay in the procedure and sections ribbon may break up.
EasyCUT neutralizes these electrostatic charges and thus it helps technicians in obtaining a perfect, non-sticky, wrinkle-free ribbon, without chattering effect and easy to transfer to the water bath.
A state-of-the-art, multifunctional microwave tissue processor, the KOS is ideally suited as a complement to the existing capabilities found in histology laboratories, where the multitasking nature of the instrument can enhance and accelerate many of the typical applications encountered.
High-definition color monitor | USB port to upload-download data | Touch-screen, 8” color terminal | Removable, stainless steel tray for extra bench space | Connection to fume extraction system | Built-in regenerable charcoal filter
Cleaning of wax-contaminated items is a tedious and time-consuming task for any laboratory. In most cases, toxic reagents (xylene) will be used for this. HistosMATE offers an innovative, safe and rapid solution for the efficient cleaning of wax-contaminated laboratory tools.
The cleaning process with HistosMATE is as simple as one click. The operator only has to press “START” and the cleaning process begins. Dewaxing your laboratory tools is now possible in only 7 minutes.
Synergy technology is a patented, innovative method to automatically embed tissues as part of the processing protocols. It eliminates the need to reopen the cassettes and reorient the tissues, as necessary with manual embedding.
The dedicated rack and consumables in combination with Milestone tissue processors (the MAGNUS, LOGOS, LOGOS One, LOGOS EVO and LOGOS One EVO) allow automatic embedding of up to 45 cassettes, regardless of the type of tissues and their dimensions.
