Workflow
Workflow for instant digital pathology means for you: Fresh tissue can be examined immediately after an excision without lengthy procedures. This allows for the direct assessment of the specimen in the operating room. Based on the acquired images, decisions concerning the continuation of the surgery or the taking of further biopsies can be made.
Your future 5-minute workflow. During Surgery on the bedside. Step-by-step:
Step 1: Tissue Removal
The tissue is processed directly after excision without fixation.
Step 2: Staining Procedure
The specimen is then quickly and easily stained with a fluorescent dye and mounted on a glass slide.
Step 3: Tissue Mounting
The glass slide is subsequently inserted into the VivaScope 2500.
Step 4: Confocal Imaging
The VivaScope 2500 rapidly scans the excised tissue and reveals the cellular
morphology.
Step 5: Evaluation & Telemedicine
During the surgical intervention, the specimens can be evaluated microscopically and the procedure adaptedaccordingly.
Full preservation
The examined tissue remains unharmed by the procedure and can be processed for histopathological and integrative analysis later on.
