Abbott Molecular is an emerging leader in molecular diagnostics and the analysis of DNA, RNA, and proteins at the molecular level. We are committed to exploring new clinical frontiers through the development and delivery of system and assay solutions that are designed to provide earlier disease diagnosis, selection of appropriate therapies and monitoring of disease recurrence. Our expanding portfolio brings multiples technologies that enable fast, accurate results. Our state of the art research and manufacturing facilities have hundreds of scientists who are dedicated to producing quality and reliable products.
Over 350 products are available in the areas of infectious disease, oncology, genetics, and automation. Some of the products include the m2000 system which has an extensive assay menu in infectious disease featuring Abbott RealTime technology with a broad range of assays available. The PathVysion HER-2 DNA Probe Kit for breast cancer and the UroVysion Bladder Cancer Kit are important applications of the FISH technology. Cystic Fibrosis Genotyping Assay is a sequencing assay. Additionally, we have the PLEX-ID system which provides comprehensive actionable answers, for non-diagnostic use, to complex microbial identification within hours.
m2000 RealTime System
Automation is the foundation for the clinical molecular laboratory to report patient results with confidence. Abbott Molecular's m2000sp for sample preparation and the m2000rt for real-time amplification and detection are the cornerstrones for this process.
The Abbott m2000 RealTime System provides automation from bar-coded laboratory tube through patient result, creating an efficient workflow for your laboratory. This automation enables laboratorians to interface where their skills best contribute to results while minimizing errors and contamination.
Abbott Molecular is committed to molecular diagnostics. Whether through new system software releases, innovative assay design or a constantly expanding mSystem menu, we are continuously evolving.

ThermoBrite StatSpin
Programmable Temperature Controlled Slide Processing System
The ThermoBrite System provides an easy, safe, system for in-situ hybridization procedures. This programmable, open system automates the denaturation and hybridization steps in slide-based FISH procedures and provides walk-away convenience for laboratory personnel.
The low cost unit accepts a wide range of sample types, is easy to use and reduces hands-on time by more than 50% while ensuring overall precision and accuracy in all slide-based assays.
User Programmable Settings
• 40 user defined protocols and 3 operating modes
• Easy to read backlit display
• Numeric keypad allows for easy programming
• Can be used as a fixed temperature slide warmer
Easy to use
• Eliminates manual steps and reduces hands-on time during FISH procedures
• Slides do not need to be fully loaded to maintain temperature accuracy
• Slide guide keeps slides in place and allows for one hand removal
• Humidity Control Cards inside the lid maintain a humid environment
More stringent temperature control
• Rapid temperature ramp-up and accuracy of ± 1° C
• Temperature uniformity across all slide positions
• Heats slide to temperatures ideal for FISH procedures
ThermoBrite Slide Processing System
The StatSpin ThermoBrite System holds up to 12 slides. The lid seals tightly when closed providing optimal chamber humidity. The system maintains uniform temperture across all slide positions. Slides can be easily added or removed with one hand. The numeric keypad allows for easy programming with 40 user programmable settings and 3 modes of operation; Denaturation/ Hybridization, Hybridization, and Fixed Temperature.
VP 2000 Processor
Now you can perform deparaffinization, pretreatment, histology/cytology staining, special stains (G-banding and other), and routine slide washing with a single system. The VP 2000 Processor easily processes slides using pre-programmed Vysis protocols for fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) for applications such as paraffin removal and the specimen pretreatment protocols for the Vysis UroVysion Bladder Cancer Kit.
The easy-to-operate user interface of the VP 2000 allows the user to enter and save user-defined protocols for various staining procedures and specimen pretreatment procedures.
This flexibility provides your laboratory with an instrument that can be utilized for
multiple functions within a single workday.As your laboratory adds high-volume
FISH testing to your menu of routine services, the Vysis VP 2000 Processor provides a flexible and cost-effective solution.
Advantages of the VP 2000 Processor are:
• Convenient walk-away automation to reduce laboratory labor and costs
• Performs more consistent and standardized FISH assay deparaffinization and pretreatment
• Validated for use with Vysis FISH pretreatment protocols including solid tumor and cytological specimens, such as amniocytes and bladder tumor cells
• Full user programmability of events for maximum flexibility
• Open system is compatible with reagents used in today's laboratories
• Bulk reagents available for added economy and ease-of-use
• Driven by a PC with Windows user interface (included in package)
• Five-way safety protection
• Reliability to stay on the job processing slides, year after year
The Vysis Systems Approach to Automated FISH Testing
The VP 2000 Processor, in conjunction with the Vysis ThermoBrite Denaturation/Hybridization unit provides a modular systems approach to automated FISH testing.
