Digital Pathology System Provides Exceptional Image Quality Within Seconds

By LabMedica International staff writers
Posted on 02 Aug 2022

A high-performance digital pathology system that delivers exceptional image quality within seconds is setting new standards for laboratories. More...

OptraSCAN’s (Sunnyvale, CA, USA) high-performance OS-Ultra product line of brightfield scanners has a loading capacity of 80 to 480 slides. With no-touch continuous loading, it scans tissues or cells with a 15 mm x 15 mm area at 40x magnification in less than 60 seconds. They produce high-resolution images that can be analyzed further with the help of OptraSCAN's artificial intelligence-based software. This platform is capable of scanning histopathology and cytopathology slides. In addition, it can be configured with 5 to 11 layers for volume scanning or viewed as composite, single layer, fully focused image.

The tray and basket system used by OS-Ultra scanners are designed to efficiently transfer and position slides for scanning and prevent slide handling mistakes. For organizations seeking to scale up operations by increasing throughput, OS Ultra is an efficient, consistent, and accurate solution. OptraSCAN has received CE-IVDR marking for the OS-Ultra scanners, which are available at an extremely affordable price point, including pay-per-scan based OPEX models. OptraSCAN's full digital pathology solutions include scanning devices, image management and viewing software, telepathology software, and image analysis solutions for biomarker and morphometry.

"The CE-IVDR mark will enhance the acceptability of OS-Ultra systems across the globe and strengthen OptraSCAN's mission to improve patient outcomes with affordable and easy to implement digital pathology solutions," said Abhi Gholap, Founder CEO of OptraSCAN.

At each follow-up, ctDNA extracted from plasma undergoes WGS and is analyzed using a patient-derived signature and an artificial intelligence (AI) pattern recognition algorithm.
