InnoCell Pathology Scanner (IPS-120)

INTRODUCTION TO INNOCELL PATHOLOGY SCANNER

• InnoCell Pathology Scanner (IPS-120) , also known as a digital slide scanner, utilizes advanced Whole Slide Imaging (WSI) technology and is engineered for the high-throughput scanning of up to 120 slides simultaneously. The device features full automation of slide transport, real-time focusing, and seamless image stitching to produce high-resolution digital slides. The IPS-120 addresses the rigorous demands of cytological diagnosis and research, facilitating the standardization, digitization, and digital transformation (Digital Cytology) of clinical workflows.
• System Configuration: Optical system, image acquisition system, scanning software, slide chamber, and control module.
• Intended use: The IPS-120 is designed for the scanning, digitization, and visualization of cytological specimens to support:
  • Scanning and converting traditional cytological slides into high-definition digital images for diagnostic purposes and morphological evaluation.
  • Providing comprehensive datasets and high-quality imagery to facilitate advanced research and academic training in cytology.
  • Automating the entire scanning procedure to minimize manual intervention and human error.
  • Enabling the secure storage, rapid retrieval, and seamless sharing of digital slide data.
  • Supporting the integration of digitized and standardized workflows within laboratory environments.
• The device is specifically optimized for:
  • Hospitals and diagnostic centers
  • Laboratories and clinics
  • Biomedical research and academic institutions
  • Organizations committed to digital transformation

OPERATION PRINCIPLE

InnoCell Pathology Scanner (IPS-120) operates on an automated slide-loading mechanism integrated with high-precision microscopy and digital imaging systems. During the scanning process, the device performs real-time autofocusing while capturing continuous fields of view. The integrated software seamlessly stitches these images together to create a high-definition Whole Slide Image (WSI), enabling comprehensive specimen analysis directly on a computer monitor.

1. Automated Slide Loading
   Slides are housed in a high-capacity loading system that holds up to 120 specimens (30 trays, 4 slides per tray). The system automatically identifies and processes slides in sequence for maximum workflow efficiency.
2. Intelligent Real-Time Scanning & Autofocus
   Utilizing high-magnification objectives combined with a real-time autofocus mechanism, the IPS-120 ensures crisp, sharp imaging across the entire scanned area without the need for manual intervention.
3. Seamless Image Stitching
   Individual image fields are processed and stitched by advanced software to create a unified digital slide, ensuring total consistency in brightness, color balance, and resolution.
4. Data Export & Archiving
   Digitized slides are immediately available for viewing, analysis, and archiving. The system supports easy integration into Laboratory Information Systems (LIS) and other digital pathology workflows.

KEY FEATURES

• High Throughput: Batch scanning capacity of up to 120 cytological slides.
• Rapid Scanning Speed: Less than 45 seconds per slide (with high-speed modes reaching 18 seconds).
• Superior Image Quality: Equipped with a 20X APO / 0.8 NA objective and a resolution of 0.25 µm/pixel, meeting the stringent requirements for detailed morphological analysis in clinical diagnostics and cytological research.
• User-Friendly Software & Operation:
  • Automated Barcode Recognition for streamlined patient record management.
  • Real-time monitoring of the scanning process.
  • Queue Management: Preview and manage lists of slides currently being scanned or pending in the queue.
  • Multi-tasking Capability: Simultaneous processing of 4 slides at once.
