Microscope slide scanner Aperio GT Elite

with barcode readerhigh-capacityautomatic

Overview
The Aperio GT Elite scanner is built to protect time at every stage of the workflow. Time lost to rework, interruptions, and manual handling slows operations and limits capacity. When those losses are removed, time is returned with higher throughput, consistent results, and scalable performance. The Aperio GT Elite scanner is designed for high-throughput scanning that holds performance hour after hour. Optimized mechanics, efficient scan paths, and two-way slide scanning work together to maximize output while delivering exceptional image quality.

• Speed increases throughput.
• Intelligence reduces intervention.
• Certainty eliminates rework.
• SmartScan™ technology automates slide-level decisions.

Key Product Principles
The system focuses on preserving time across the workflow to enable higher throughput, consistent results, and scalable performance.

Features
Speed Is Only Valuable When It Can Be Maintained
The Aperio GT Elite is designed for high-throughput scanning that maintains performance hour after hour through optimized mechanics, efficient scan paths, and two-way slide scanning, delivering consistent momentum across the lab.

• More slides processed.
• Less idle time.
• Predictable performance you can plan around.

True Intelligence Simplifies Your Workflow
The scanner applies slide-level intelligence by automating decisions and eliminating unnecessary manual steps. It internalizes workflow complexity, automatically calibrates each slide, optimizes scan parameters, and maintains continuous, interruption-free operation to reduce human error and hands-on involvement.

• Less time adjusting settings.
• Fewer interruptions.
• Fewer opportunities for error.

Confidence Comes From Consistency
The Aperio GT Elite is engineered for first-pass scanning confidence across diverse specimens, stains, and protocols. Reliable image quality reduces rescans and protects time and outcomes at higher volumes. Optional Aperio iQC software flags and corrects image quality issues during scanning to further strengthen certainty.

• As workflows accelerate, confidence remains intact.
• As scale increases, results remain dependable.

SmartScan™ Technology
SmartScan™ delivers barcode-driven scanning to automatically apply optimal scan settings to every slide. Slide metadata triggers predefined scan templates so mixed slides can be scanned together without manual sorting or adjustment. Optional Aperio iQC™ provides AI-powered quality control to detect artifacts during scanning and trigger rescans when needed.

• No slide separation.
• No batch reconfiguration.
• No unnecessary rescans.

Notes
Scan speed estimates assume a 15 mm x 15 mm area at 40x. For Research Use Only. Not For Use In Diagnostic Procedures.
