Proscia, Hamamatsu digital pathology collaboration
May 2022—Proscia and Hamamatsu Photonics are collaborating to accelerate the adoption of digital pathology. The agreement aims to increase the availability of the companies’ best-of-breed solution, which combines Proscia’s Concentriq platform and Hamamatsu’s NanoZoomer series of whole slide scanners, to laboratories. Users of Hamamatsu’s scanners can integrate their images and all other data into an open ecosystem centered around Concentriq. Under the agreement, customers will receive support with implementation.
CelLock cell-block prep kit
May 2022—Source Medical Products announced it is carrying CelLock, a kit that standardizes the preparation of formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded cell blocks. Included in the kit is a proprietary product called CelLGel, which is used in concert with a proprietary filter to collect and process 99.7 percent of the initial patient specimen into the cell block. The filter is included in the cell block to provide a visual cue, the company says, to make the tasks of embedding and microtomy easier and more exacting. The cellular proteomic and genetic information within the specimen is preserved for immunohistochemical, molecular, and ancillary testing.
