Profile: Ventana Medical Systems, Inc. deals with diagnostic instruments and reagent systems for use in slide-based diagnosis of cancer and infectious disease. Our products are found in hospital-based histology laboratories, independent reference laboratories, and the drug discovery laboratories of pharmaceutical & biotechnology companies, government labs, & medical research centers. Our Symphony™ system completely automates every step of slide preparation with one touch operation from drying through the application of a glass coverslip. The slides can be cured immediately and are available pathologist interpretation. Our Vias™ is an easy-to-use, desktop system that readily shifts between computer assisted image analysis and routine microscopy to maximize system flexibility & utilization. It seamlessly integrates into the pathologist's current workflow to accommodate real-time image capture and quantitation of percent-positive cells. Our instrument-reagent systems are designed to standardize the preparation and staining of patient tissue or cells mounted on a microscope slide for examination by a pathologist.

The company was founded in 1991, has ~950 employees. NASDAQ:VMSI (SEC Filings)

• Mucicarmine Stain (FDA Code: HZC / 864.1850) Dye and chemical solution stains for medical purposes are mixtures of synthetic or natural dyes or nondye chemicals in solutions used in staining cells and tissues for diagnostic histopathology, cytopathology, or hematology.

• Peroxidase Antiserum (FDA Code: DFD / 866.5550) An immunoglobulin (light chain specific) immunological test system is a device that consists of the reagents used to measure by immunochemical techniques both kappa and lambda types of light chain portions of immunoglobulin molecules in serum, other body fluids, and tissues. In some disease states, an excess of light chains are produced by the antibody-forming cells. These free light chains, unassociated with gamma globulin molecules, can be found in a patient's body fluids and tissues. Measurement of the various amounts of the different types of light chains aids in the diagnosis of multiple myeloma (cancer of antibody-forming cells), lymphocytic neoplasms (cancer of lymphoid tissue), Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia (increased production of large immunoglobulins), and connective tissue diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis or systemic lupus erythematosus.

• Progesterone Receptor Antibody Immunohistochemistry Assay (FDA Code: MXZ / 864.1860) Immunohistochemistry test systems (IHC's) are in vitro diagnostic devices consisting of polyclonal or monoclonal antibodies labeled with directions for use and performance claims, which may be packaged with ancillary reagents in kits. Their intended use is to identify, by immunological techniques, antigens in tissues or cytologic specimens. Similar devices intended for use with flow cytometry devices are not considered IHC's.
