With the Tissue-Tek Genie Advanced Staining System, you now have the capability to: Run any slide, any stain, any time, any instrument Eliminate batching of slides Run cases
An IHC & ISH stainer system that provides predictable turnaround time with maximum flexibility
View Interactive Brochure
The Tissue-Tek Genie® Advanced Staining System is the first and only fully automated, true random access stainer for immunohistochemistry (IHC) and in situ hybridization (ISH) that features 30 completely independent staining stations. This IHC & ISH stainer system provides uncompromised fast and predictable turnaround time (TAT) for unprecedented staining quality of the entire 136 antibody portfolio.
With the Tissue-Tek Genie Advanced Staining System, you now have the capability to:
- Run any slide, any stain, any time, any instrument
- Eliminate batching of slides
- Run cases together on one instrument
- Run IHC tests within 2 - 3 hours for faster and predictable TAT
- Eliminate diluting reagents, all Ready-to-Use (RTU)
- Eliminate the rail effect. Full slide coverage
This superior performance is possible due to innovations Sakura Finetek brings to
advanced staining:
- 30 completely, independent staining stations with active heating/cooling and no slide scheduler
- True continuous random access
- Fully automated staining from dewaxing to counterstain with no alteration in TAT
- Advanced capillary gap technology for whole slide coverage
- The first and only single-use capsule format for advanced staining applications to enable laboratories to run any test, any time, on any station
- The first and only peristaltic dispense mechanism in advanced staining for precise volume delivery without any carryover or cleaning
- Bulk reagents are all RTU, no requirement for refrigeration, mixing, or dilution
- Separation of hazardous from non-hazardous waste
To increase quality and reproducibility of stains, Sakura Finetek established a new rigorous methodology to develop reagents and protocols for:
- Stain quality that is scored optimal by several experts in pathology
- Fast and predictable TAT, unprecedented by current solutions in the market
- Innovation that enables continuous workflow with minimal disruption and simpler operation
The Tissue-Tek Genie Detection Kits (DAB, AP Red and DUO) along with our Tissue-Tek Genie RTU antibodies and ancillary reagents with evaluated protocols ensures users are provided consistent, quality staining results with reproducibility that laboratories have come to expect from Sakura Finetek IHC & ISH stainer products. These staining results were independently evaluated by a leading quality assurance organization.

Tissue-Tek Genie® Capsules
The innovative single-use Capsules make Genie the most convenient stainer on the market, eliminating batching and sorting of slides, and giving you the flexibility to load any slide, any stain, any time, any station on any Genie.
Benefit from using Capsules:
1. Run cases or single slides without the need to batch slides by antibody.
2. Save time loading slides whenever a staining station is available.
3. Use for any slide volume of any biomarkers.
The Capsule with an attached tag (used for identification) is inserted into a reusable plastic Reagent Dispensing Area (RDA) and the RDA is loaded onto any of the available 30 independent staining stations along with the slide.
See how the Capsules are produced here:
In summary, this innovative technology enables laboratories to quickly load slides and reagents for an IHC stain to gain continuous workflow with short and predictable TAT.
