Digitize Pathology Slides
Business challenge
Lab managers and pathologists are challenged to manage an ever-growing volume of slides and blocks while maintaining inventory integrity and on-demand physical access. Digital pathology can help solve some of these issues but comes with its own challenges, not least of which is an explosion of data that needs to be secured, stored, managed, and preserved in addition to the physical slides, which need to be stored for at least 10 years to meet FDA regulations.
What if you could
Digitize slides and entrust digital and physical storage to an experienced partner that can help you:
- Streamline lab workflows by providing rapid retrieval of images.
- Facilitate collaboration with the ability to view and mark up slide images in real time.
- Leverage a holistic service spanning the entire physical-to-digital pathology lifecycle.
