ADS Biotec, along with its parent company ADSTEC (Japan), is a global leader in the development, manufacture and sale of automated instruments and consumables for use in cytogenetic, pathology and research laboratories.

Chromosome Spreading

The HANABI-PV Metaphase Auto-Spreader and the HANABI-PVI Metaphase Spreader are instruments that provide optimized environmental conditions for the preparation of metaphase chromosome spreads. The HANABI-PV  automatically processes up to 10 samples and prepares up to 20 slides per run. Temperature, humidity and airflow are set and rapidly stabilize, thus ensuring that when samples are dropped and chromosomes spread on microscope slides, they are dried in a consistent and reproducible manner.   Excessive spreading and chromosome overlaps are minimized. The sample tubes and the slides are traceable by bar codes. After automated spreading , the spreads on the slides can be further treated and stained to be analyzed.
