OverviewThe Pannoramic 1000 DX is a high-throughput digital pathology scanner designed for diagnostic laboratories, hospitals and research centers. It enables scalable diagnostic workflows with native integration into LIS and HIS, supporting large-format and high-volume slide processing while maintaining consistent image fidelity and operational reliability.
SummaryThe system supports continuous heavy-duty scanning with a capacity of up to 1200 slides. Built-in safeguards (safety container, automated handling) and remote monitoring minimize interruptions. Advanced features include AI-based tissue detection, optional research upgrades such as automated water‑immersion imaging, and configurable loading for single- and double-width slides.
Key Features- High-resolution optics and scientific camera technology for accurate color reproduction (examples: 20x – 0.8 NA; 40x – 0.95 NA).
- Large-capacity scanning: up to 1200 slides, including large-format slides.
- Z-stack / multi-layer imaging for cytology and multi‑focus requirements.
- Dedicated safety container to isolate problematic slides and maintain continuous processing of compliant samples.
- Anti-vibration granite base for enhanced stability and image consistency.
- Remote monitoring and workflow integration for case management and lab optimization.
- Automated objective changer supporting up to 3 objectives.
- Fully automated AI-based tissue detection and scanning routines.
- Barcode reading (1D and 2D) and compatibility with common loader/basket formats.
- Image output in MRXS or DICOM formats for diagnostic and archival workflows.
Performance & Throughput- Capacity: up to 1200 slides.
- Scanning speed (example): ~25 seconds per slide (40x, 0.24 µm/pixel, single-layer).
- Throughput: up to ~80 slides/hour (condition-dependent example figure).
Optics & Imaging- Multiple magnification configurations available (examples: 40x / 80x, 50x / 100x, 55x / 110x).
- Z-stack / multi-layer imaging for improved depth information in cytology specimens.
- Optional automated water‑immersion upgrade to increase numerical aperture for high-magnification research imaging.
Workflow & Integration- Seamless LIS and HIS integration to support diagnostic workflows.
- Remote monitoring and integration with case management systems.
- Automated slide loading with configurable baskets for single- and double-width slides.
Compatibility & Output- Image output formats: MRXS or DICOM.
- Compatible basket/loader examples: 3DH / Sakura Type 4768 (20-slide basket) and Leica type 14051252473 (30-slide basket).
Certifications & Compliance- IVDR compliant (Category A).
Optional Research UpgradeThe scanner can be upgraded with an automated water‑immersion imaging module for research applications, increasing numerical aperture and optical performance to support cellular and subcellular visualization while automating immersion handling.
NotesPerformance figures (speed, throughput) are example values based on specific measurement conditions (e.g., 40x, single-layer, specified pixel resolution) and may vary with sample type and configuration.
