Grundium has joined forces with Visiopharm, a global leader in AI-driven precision pathology software, to expand the availability of accessible digital pathology solutions for clinics and laboratories worldwide. Through this partnership, Visiopharm will offer Grundium’s Ocus® scanners alongside its Qualitopix™ solution, enabling labs to automatically upload images for processing. Qualitopix empowers labs to enhance their staining quality and standardization by monitoring staining consistency.
Grundium’s Ocus scanners are well-known for their exceptional image quality, user-friendly design, and compact footprint. Seamlessly integrating with computational pathology applications, these scanners provide an affordable option for accelerating the adoption of pathology AI applications. With a web-based user interface and cloud connectivity, the Ocus scanner portfolio stands out as practical imaging instruments for digital pathology.
Qualitopix combines powerful AI technology with control materials, enabling labs to continuously monitor and document staining consistency over time. By utilising standardized and validated control materials, labs can obtain reliable and actionable insights that help identify staining performance variations. One of the key advantages of Qualitopix is its simplicity, speed, and cost-effectiveness. As a web-based solution, labs can seamlessly incorporate it into their existing workflows, unlocking the benefits of digital pathology without significant implementation efforts. The integration of Grundium’s Ocus scanners enhances the automation of Visiopharm’s Qualitopix™ solution by facilitating the automatic upload of images.
Martin Kristensson, Senior Vice President, Clinical Commercial Strategy at Visiopharm, says: At Visiopharm, we are constantly seeking ways to help pathology labs standardize their work. Our partnership with Grundium and the integration of the Ocus scanner with our Qualitopix solution offer a powerful combination of high-quality imaging and staining monitoring, providing pathology labs with the necessary tools to gain insights into their daily performance. We are excited to introduce these innovative digital pathology solutions to more clinics and labs worldwide, aiming to make a positive impact on standardization.
According to Grundium's Sales Director, Davide D’Incau, breakthroughs in AI and computational pathology will significantly impact the field of pathology. Grundium is dedicated to making these innovations widely accessible to clinicians and labs by providing the most practical imaging instruments for digital pathology in the market. We are thrilled to include the Ocus® scanners as part of Visiopharm’s solutions, starting with Qualitopix.
