Clarity and Accuracy Complete Consistency Total Tissue Care
Choose Novocastra BOND reagents to
make it easier to deliver high-quality
staining. Specifically developed for
Leica BOND using Leica’s in-house
Novocastra staining science,
these pre-optimized reagents
deliver exceptional performance
with minimal preparation.
No matter what reagents you choose,
the fully automated Leica BOND RX
will standardize your staining to
remove process variation and
deliver unrelenting consistency.
Leica BOND RX provides full onboard
IHC and ISH automation with both
Leica and laboratory protocols.
Protect valuable tissue. The unique
Leica BOND Covertile
™
system
provides the utmost care for valuable
specimens. Unlike other automated
stainers, Leica BOND has very gentle
reagent application and incubation
protection that minimizes the potential
for tissue damage and costly repeats.
Leica BOND RX
QUALITY
Make sure you see the whole picture. Leica BOND R X consis tently provides the high-quality
results that let you clearly analyze every stain so vital information is not overlooked, and
every section gets you one step closer to new insights.
Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.
Faster
Continuous
Ready for More
Finish slides earlier. Leica BOND RX
is 50% faster than previous
generation stainers. So you can
process more slides in a day,
gain a rapid understanding of the
possibilities of your latest trials, and
reach critical answers sooner.
Your work flows when you are
both flexible and organized. With
three independent slide trays, each
Leica BOND RX is effectively three
stainers in one instrument. So you
have the flexibility of continuous
processing while keeping your
slides together to reduce sorting.
As your research program grows, so
does Leica BOND. With the ability
to connect up to five Leica BOND RX
instruments to a single data collection
point, you are free to expand capacity
so your research never slows down.
Leica BOND RX
SPEED
Find answers sooner. With speed and organization, Leica BOND RX lets you stain more
slides daily. This gives you the freedom to explore more possibilities, test more theories,
and make that critical breakthrough sooner.

You can use Leica protocols for
pre-defined consistency, or freely
create your own custom protocols
when your research calls for
something special. New insights
require innovative thinking and with
Leica BOND RX you’re not locked
into conventional methods.
Control costs and do more
research with your existing budget.
Leica BOND RX requires virtually
no daily maintenance and has
extremely small reagent dispense
volumes so you can spend less time
and money on overheads, and more
on making critical discoveries.
