Leica Microsystems has launched the SCN400 2.2 platform for digital pathology scanning.
With up to 5 fluorescence channels per slide, the SCN400 2.2 claims to provide a flexible whole slide scanning solution.
Monochrome detectors for fluorescence provide separation of individual fluorophores that may be close in wavelength, while colour detectors for brightfield provide excellent digital slide capture quality.
For brightfield imaging the advanced tissue finding system automatically identifies areas for capture, while Leica’s patented Dynamic Focus removes the overhead of slide pre-mapping, rapidly scanning high quality whole slide images.
With the addition of the SL801 autoloader with capacity for 384 slides, the SCN400 2.2 becomes an automated high-throughput system.
Other features include:
- The ability to capture multiple markers on a single sample, with clear focus and channel separation, ensures that researchers maximise results from precious or rare samples.
- Capacity for multiple filter cubes enables up to 7 distinct fluorescence channels to be utilised across a scanning batch, providing flexibility for the varied samples in research and pharmaceutical laboratories.
