OverviewThe NanoZoomer® S360MD (EU model C13220-21MDEU) is a high-throughput whole-slide scanner intended for in vitro diagnostic (IVD) use in hospitals and clinical laboratories. This variant meets IVDR (EU), UK MDR2002 (UK) and IvDO (CH) requirements and is designed for extended unattended operation with integrated workflow controls.
Key features- High-throughput scanning optimized for slide loading, scan speed and data transfer.
- Throughput: >82 slides/h in both 20× and 40× modes (measured on 15 mm × 15 mm area with 5 focus points).
- Slide loader capacity: 360 slides (30 slides × 12 cassettes) for long continuous runs.
- Operational software NZAcquireMD ensures consistent image acquisition and color management.
- Flexible workflows: fully automatic and semi-automatic modes (per-slide or per-rack settings, custom profiles).
- Per-cassette status display with real-time indicators: Waiting, Scanning, Scan completed.
Imaging & focusing- Objective: 20× NA 0.75 (user-selectable 20× or 40× mode at start of scanning).
- Scanning resolution: approx. 0.46 μm/pixel (20×) and approx. 0.23 μm/pixel (40×).
- Focusing: pre-focus map for reliable autofocus performance; Z-stack functionality included.
- Image format: JPEG compression for generated images.
Barcode reading- 1D codes: Code 39, Code 128, Interleaved 2 of 5, Codabar, EAN-8, UPC-E.
- 2D codes: DataMatrix (ECC200), QR Code® (Model-2).
Regulatory & intended use- IVDR (EU), UK MDR2002 (UK) and IvDO (CH) compliant model for in vitro diagnostic use in supported regions.
- Intended for clinical use in hospitals and diagnostic laboratories; regulatory registrations and clearances vary by country — in other regions NanoZoomer® systems may be for research use only.
