Overview

Proven Technology for Diagnostic Excellence

Proven technology for improved workflow efficiency and patient care are set to define digital pathology and increase overall adoption. With the call for more rigorous controls, manufacturers of digital pathology devices are being held to the highest standards of quality, security, and patient safety.

The Aperio GT 450 DX uses innovative color calibration technology to output consistent high-quality images enabling on-time, on-screen diagnosis. Aperio GT 450 DX is an automated, high capacity digital pathology slide scanner that offers exceptional image quality, rapid delivery of cases and high-performance streamlined digital viewing built with the pathologist in mind.

  • Improve case turnaround with no touch scanning and continuous loading of the racks directly from the HistoCore SPECTRA Workstation (Stainer & Coverslipper)
  • Increase IT security and control with a dedicated Scanner Administrator Manager DX (SAM DX) server and software that allows you to set up and monitor multiple Aperio GT 450 DX scanners at a time. No more single workstations for each scanner
  • Ensure excellent image quality with Leica optics

Confidence in Diagnosis for the Pathologist

The Aperio GT 450 DX starts with quality and stays with quality. High quality digital scans deserve an image management system that detects, stores and delivers whole slide images and metadata exactly where and when needed for confidence in diagnosis.

Aperio GT 450 DX Scanner

  • Designed to rapidly deliver images with exceptional quality for Pathologists.*
  • High performance objective manufactured by Leica Microsystems, renowned for producing world-class optics since 1849.
  • Leica optics deliver exceptional image quality
  • Every slide is calibrated during scanning to ensure the best quality image
  • Automated image quality assessment, so you don’t have to send slides back for re-scans 99.5% accurate tissue finder (H&E stains) finds faint tissue while excluding pen marks, dust, and residue.

Precision, Potential to Scale, and Peace of Mind

Digital pathology scan speeds have not always been fast enough at 40x magnification to keep up with high-volume scanning (120k+ slides per year). Real-Time Focusing (RTF)** offers a potential solution to this problem. It’s a novel method to capture a digital image that combines an imaging line sensor and a focusing line sensor.

  1. While scanning, the focusing line sensor receives focusing data of the tissue.
  2. Proprietary algorithms determine the best focus value.
  3. Then, each best focus value is treated like a control loop with the mechanics, feeding the best focus value to the objective height on the fly.
  4. The positioning adjustments of the objective are performed continuously (in real time) in order to enable the imaging line sensor to capture the image at its best possible focus. Hence, real time focusing.

Excellent Image Quality with Custom-Made Leica Objective

The high-performance objectives included with the Aperio GT 450 DX is specifically designed to maximise field of view for high speed digital pathology scanning. Most objectives are designed similarly to the human eye: round, which focuses light in the center and limits field of view. The objectives on the Aperio GT 450 DX includes an extra-wide flat field correction that enables a much larger field of view (1mm) that can accommodate extremely large digital images for fast scans and 0.26 um/pixel resolution at 40x magnification.
