Integrating Innovation with Automation for the Research Laboratory At Leica Biosystems, we aim to enable researchers to accelerate their journey, transforming scientific exploration into translational outcomes. Our goal is to shape the future with novel technologies that inspire every researcher’s exploration of biology. The Aperio GT 450 v 1.3 is proven scanning technology that consists of three upgrades that improve image quality and flexible scanning solutions in research settings: Z-Stack Scanning, Automatic Narrow Stripe, and 20x Magnification. Z-Stack Scanning Multiplane scanning that produces a composite, 3D image that enables research pathologists to review slide samples at varied levels of thickness, similar to a traditional microscope. Automatic Narrow Stripe Scanning...

Digital pathology is the means of capturing stained slides as high-resolution, brightfield or fluorescent images that are managed, stored, and visualized digitally. Digital pathology has several advantages over traditional microscopy that can improve project productivity and quality. This infographic highlights key benefits of implementing digital pathology in the laboratory. 

Digital pathology is a growing field, with multiple vendors offering a variety of hardware and software for different applications. With many options available for digital pathology scanners, viewing software, and both consumer and medical review monitors, users need the ability to adapt to variations in image appearance.

SEATTLE, USA and MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA. March 1st Leica Biosystems continues to advance its relationship with NanoString Technologies Inc., supporting translational research to build confidence in reproducibility and throughput while minimizing manual steps and reducing hands-on time with the release of the fully automated GeoMx RNA protocol on BOND RX and BOND RXm research staining systems. “This fully automated protocol not only increased our ability to get more slides done in a week but also increased the quality of the data coming off of our instrument by reducing variability between runs,” said Carlee Hemphill, lead scientist, CDx Labcorp Drug Development. NanoString's GeoMx Digital Spatial Profiler uses spatial images, chemistry, and workflow to enable high-plex profiling ...
