Vectra 3.0 Automated Quantitative Pathology Imaging System, 6 Slide

The Vectra 3 automated quantitative pathology imaging system, together with the inForm^® software, provides multispectral and automated multi-slide imaging of up to 6 slides to detect and measure weakly expressed and overlapping biomarkers in H&E, IHC or IF intact FFPE tissue sections or TMAs within a familiar digital pathology workflow.

Tissue sections or TMAs can be labeled with immunofluorescent (IF) or immunohistochemical (IHC) stains such as Opal^™, or with conventional stains such as H&E and trichrome. When using IF or IHC stains, multiple proteins can be measured on a per tissue, per cell, or per cell compartment (e.g. nuclear, cytoplasmic) basis - even when signals are spectrally similar, are located in the same cellular compartment or are obscured by autofluorescence.

Vectra 3 can also be used with the Phenochart^™ whole slide contextual viewer with annotation capability into the digital workflow, where pathologists and technicians can navigate around slides and identify areas of interest for high-resolution multispectral acquisition. It accurately measures protein and biomarker expression and morphometric characteristics in intact tissue sections for translational studies.

Key Benefits:

• Supports PerkinElmer’s Phenoptics^™ workflow solution for cancer immunology research
• Detects and measures multiple weakly expressed and overlapping biomarkers within a single H&E, IHC or IF tissue section and in TMAs
• Visualizes, analyzes, quantifies and phenotypes immune cells in situ in solid tissues
• Automated loading of up to 6 slides, with the Vectra^™ Polaris^® system available for higher throughput
• Phenochart whole slide viewer for slide navigation provides context for identification of regions of interest within a digital pathology workflow
• Automatic identification of specific tissue types using integrated inForm analysis software
