May 2014—PerkinElmer launched the Lamina multilabel slide scanner at the USCAP 2014 Annual Meeting. The scanner is a high-throughput imaging system for research pathologists in a larger research facility to study protein expression and the relationships between disease markers in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue sections.
The scanner includes high-speed bright-field and fluorescence imaging modalities along with the company’s Autofluorescence Reduction Technology, which reduces interference from autofluorescence and fluorophore cross-talk. The scanner works in real time during whole-slide scanning, enabling clear visualization of protein biomarker expression in fluorescently labeled tissues, and the images can be stored and shared electronically without degradation.
