Leica Biosystems

From the research lab to the IT room, the Aperio GT 450 is designed to integrate innovation with automation for the research laboratory.

The Aperio GT 450 v 1.3 enables researchers to complete scanning tasks quickly and with confidence delivering high quality images with Leica optics and with an IT architecture that is secure and scalable. It consists of three upgrades that improve image quality and flexible scanning solutions in research settings:

• Z-Stack Scanning 
  Multiplane scanning that produces a composite, 3D image that enables research pathologists to review slide samples at varied levels of thickness, similar to a traditional microscope.

• Automatic Narrow Stripe Scanning 
  Quality control that enables an automatic rescan of a slide when the system detects image quality issues resulting from a tilted slide or tilted tissue. Allows users to save time in their workflow by not re-preparing or readjusting slides, thus reducing labor hours.

• 20x Magnification
  In addition to 40x magnification, operators will have the option to scan slides at 20x magnification – our solution to saving space.
