SCANSCOPE FL SYSTEM – Multichannel Fluorescence Whole-Slide Scanning

The trend in scientific research and drug discovery is toward multiplexing with a variety of fluorescent biomarkers. Multiplexing improves efficiency and reduces the costs associated with tissue- and TMA-based assays.

Our ScanScope FL addresses the growing demand for whole-slide scanning of slides stained with multiple fluorochromes. With the monochrome camera and quad multi-bandpass filter set provided with the system, up to four color channels can be acquired. However, the six-position filter cube turret and excitation filter wheel allow for even greater flexibility. Advanced illumination, autoexposure, and autofocus capabilities eliminate the need for trial-and-error scanning, greatly reducing the problem of photobleaching.

• Acquire seamless high-resolution digital slides using Aperio's patented line-scanning technology
• Permanently archive the digital slides, eliminating concerns about fading of the fluorochromes on the glass slides over time
• Use ImageScope, our advanced visualization software, to view multi-channel digital images in a variety of ways
• Organize images and data, and perform image analysis in Spectrum Plus, our image and data management software
