BOND RX Software 7.0

BOND RX 7.0 software supports enhanced chromogenic and fluorescent multiplexing functionality by allowing up to 6 individual markers to be visualized on a single slide.

Break Through the Staining Barrier

The more markers per slide, the more opportunities to get to your discovery endpoint faster, all while using less precious tissue. Maximize the data you can achieve per sample via fully customized protocols from deparaffinization to counterstain and all the steps in between.

  • Unlock cellular secrets through multiplexing to visualize multiple targets on a single slide.
  • Discover the next breakthrough assay by designing your custom detection system and ideal protocol.
