Tissue processing is a one-way process where a number of chemicals steps and physical conditions will irreversibly determine the suitable processing of the specimen for the morphological (H&E), IHC and molecular analysis. Diagnostic-therapeutic algorithms for the selection of patients for targeted cancer treatment include immunohistochemical and molecular analysis of histological specimens. That’s why the quality of FFPE (Formalin Fixed Paraffin Embedded) specimens processed is mandatory.

Evolving Diagnostic and Therapeutic Scenario

Clinical care and Patient management

Pathology Diagnosis

Nucleic Acid (DNA, RNA) and protein expression

Target therapies to slow down or inhibit tumor’ growth

1 IMMUNOTHERAPY
2 VALIDATED BIOMARKERS PROTOCOLS
3 SAFE DIAGNOSIS

Validated tissue processor for the preservation of immunohistochemical expression of PD- L1.The scientific publication demonstrates, in a comparative study, the interference of tissue processing in the evaluation of biomarkers useful in selecting patients who are candidates for immunotherapy.

The integrated protocols are validated by Diapath in collaboration with reference Hospitals, Laboratories and Reserch Institutes.These procedures are used daily for diagnostic purposes, immunohistochemistry, in-situ hybridisation and molecular biology investigations in order to identify predictive biomarkers of Immunotherapy response.

Donatello Series 3 is equipped with E.V.A. (Emergency eVoluted Alghorithm) designed for advanced safety.In the event of a mechanical blockage, especially during unmanned processing phases such as overnight processing, in case of critical situations and in the absence of an operator, is able to perform fully automatic troubleshooting operations, choosing the most appropriate corrective recovery action to save the samples.

The intelligent virtual algorithm is able, in case of a mechanical blockage, to perform operations in a totally automatic way aimed at solving problems without interrupting the processing.E.V.A.+ is also equipped with a voice- user interface making spoken human interaction easy.

The Self-diagnostic system prevents unexpected stops during overnight processing.The procedure is performed automatically before each processing, via automatic check on the sensitive mechanical parts of the processor.

Quick and safe identification of dedicated pre- filled containers. The software and LEDs guide the reagent replacement procedure, thus preventing any reagent refill errors.

Innovative reagent mixing technology.

The ABS system makes the instrument less susceptible to impurities, such as the incidental presence of organic(release of tissue components during processing), inorganic substances and foreign bodies (dirt, dye powder residues that may accidentally circulate inside the instrument).Insoluble fragments circulating within any hydraulic system may cause blockage phenomena of an embolic- like nature. ABS also contributes to the reduction of cross-contamination between reagents by extending the shelf - life of process reagents.

Thanks to its large processing chamber and its reagent mixing technology, Donatello is able to process up to 420 standard biocassettes, up to 112 Slim Mega Cassettes and up to 56 Super Mega Cassettes(with dedicated basket) with a single run.

Able to track incidental removal of reagent tanks via sensor(Date, Time, and Operator).

Donatello Series 3 is equipped with a system that can perform real- time monitoring of the instrument’s energy consumption, maximizing the energy efficiency of the instrument and increasing overall performance.

<body><span class="tab-title">SAFE REAGENT</span><br></body>Donatello Series 3 offers the possibility to set a custom safety reagent for each step of the processing. In the event of a power failure, a Safe Reagent will be loaded into the processing chamber to keep the samples safe until Laboratory staff arrives(only with UPS connection).The Safe Reagent will also intervene downstream of the various attempts of the emergency procedure carried out by E.V.A.+

Ideal for preheating of the reagent in a safe and homogeneous way before its actual use inside the processing chamber.This technology allows for the processing of small biopsies(up to 1 mm thickness) in less than an hour.The FPS is activated only whenthe reagent passes through preventing power consumption.

RFID-technology-based ID card, makes user login, reagent’ and lot expiry’ traceability easy and intuitive.

For real time fluodinamic monitoring and detect the presence of the reagent and the correct fill level to prevent samples from drying out.

The results of this study suggest that, analytic conditions less often motive of consideration such as tissue processing, may be major culprits in the lack of consistent results of biomarkers evaluation, such as PD-L1. […]

These observations support others reported in the literature that support the urgent need to standardize tissue processing and to review the basic chemistry associated with the biomarkers evaluation, since it has been proved to fail as a solid quantitative method. […]

This study demonstrates the need to review and standardize the tissue processing in pathology laboratories to cope with the growing needs of precision medicine inherent quantifications and the production of high quality material necessary for computational pathology usage.
