Agilent Technologies Inc has partnered with Hamamatsu Photonics, to incorporate their NanoZoomer Slide Scanner, which converts glass slides into high-resolution digital data by high-speed scanning, into the Agilent end-to-end digital pathology solution. With this partnership, Agilent takes a significant step forward with an advanced platform that can reduce time-to-diagnostic and help improve patient outcomes.With increasing cancer cases and tests, the pressure to manage greater patient test loads has led to an increasing interest in solutions that can improve workflow efficiency and facilitate remote analysis. With the recent partnership, Agilent now enables a scalable digital pathology workflow that features scanners, an image management system, and digital pathology applications that are compatible with both Agilent as well as other technology and laboratory information systems. The end-to-end digital pathology solution allows labs to benefit from flexible, future-proof technologies that enables them to grow as the requirements evolve.Hamamatsu believes that the NanoZoomer slides scanner will help revolutionize the diagnostic process, enable faster turnaround times, more efficient workflows and more collaboration among pathologists.
