PerkinElmer, Inc., a global leader committed to innovating for a healthier world, today announced the launch of its Vectra® Polaris™ Automated Quantitative Pathology Imaging System. This new multi-modal tissue imaging system enables researchers to gain a deeper level of understanding of disease mechanisms related to new cancer immunotherapy approaches.
The Vectra Polaris system integrates high throughput, seven-color multispectral imaging with whole-slide scanning in a simplified digital pathology workflow to support the quantification and analysis of tissue sections that are stained with multiple immunohistochemical stains. This helps scientists assess biomarkers that probe deeper into the biology occurring in the immune system and cancer by detecting multiple cell types and their functional states, while also allowing researchers to determine their spatial distributions.
“From basic research to clinical research studies, scientists continue to seek advanced imaging technologies to better analyze and understand disease mechanisms,” said Jim Corbett, Executive Vice President and President, Discovery ...
