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.

2 Fast ramp time and precise temperature control
The resistive heating elements, built in the
aluminium retort walls, ensure a fast and
homogeneous temperature increase of the
reagents to the pre-set processing values.
3 Rapid and optimal reagent diffusion
The diffusion of the reagent is guaranteed by a
highly efficient magnetic stirrer bar at the bottom 3
of the retort, ensuring an optimal flow through
all of the cassettes of each rack level. LOGOS One. Reagent processing retort

LOGOS One. Dramatic workflow improvement
Throughout the day the instrument can process urgent and small biopsies on demand.
These samples/biopsies, which can constitute 40-60% of the workload of a histopathology lab, are
rapidly processed. The short processing time allows embedding, cutting and staining of specimens
so that the slides are available for the pathologist on the same day. The remaining cassettes can be
automatically processed during the night.

High safety standards
No pouring, no fumes.
Ultra protection for users safety
Fully enclosed system with a twin extraction system of fumes
at the retort opening. The slide-out reagent drawer is provided
with an efficient ventilation/exhaust system.
Error-free reagents replacement
The Logos One reagent replacement is error-free thanks to
a barcoding check system. When the container needs to be
replaced, the operator can double-check the correctness of the
reagent used and its positioning in the drawer.
1. Scan the barcode on the bottle to check the proper reagent.
2. Scan the barcode of the wall’s back label to check the correct
position of the bottle.

Synergy
Synergy is a revolutionary Patented (n. EP 2 439 510 A1) method to automatically embed tissues as
part of the processing protocols. Thanks to a dedicated rack and consumables, the same processor unit
can also carry out automatic embedding. The Synergy is available as an option for the LOGOS One unit.
