Case Study: Wisconsin Diagnostic Laboratories, Froedtert Hospital achieves 36-hour to 5-hour IHC turnaround with Leica Biosystems BOND-PRIME

Wisconsin Diagnostic Laboratories cuts IHC turnaround from 36 hours to 5 hours with Leica Biosystems

Wisconsin Diagnostic Laboratories at Froedtert Hospital faced a challenge with a slow, batch-processing workflow for their IHC stains, which resulted in a 36-hour turnaround time and frequent bottlenecks. Partnering with vendor Leica Biosystems, they implemented the BOND-PRIME IHC/ISH staining system to modernize their anatomical pathology service.

The solution from Leica Biosystems introduced a continuous workflow, drastically reducing turnaround time by almost 85% to just 5 hours. The implementation also increased the lab's workload volume by almost 150%, boosted annual slide capacity to 200,000, and reduced costly wastage, fundamentally improving the efficiency and scope of their clinical and research services.
