VENTANA® whole slide scanners for digital pathology

Unleash high-quality digital pathology imaging with state-of-the-art color management, built-in calibration, and minimal rescan rates.


Roche VENTANA digital pathology whole slide scanners include VENTANA DP 200 slide scanner and VENTANA DP600 slide scanner
High-quality performance from start to finish

The foundation of an exceptional digital pathology solution starts with a reliable, easy-to-use, whole slide scanner that labs can trust. Elevate your lab's capabilities with VENTANA slide scanners that provide consistent, high-resolution images that replicate the colors as seen under a microscope. Couple VENTANA slide scanners with advanced digital pathology enterprise software and clinical decision support solutions aimed at improving efficiency and reliability in results.

VENTANA slide scanners are scalable solutions that can be optimized to digitize changing slide volumes. The high-capacity VENTANA® DP 600 slide scanner is ideal for labs as they scale toward full digitization. Meanwhile, the VENTANA® DP 200 slide scanner is well-suited for specific use cases such as frozen sections, double slide scanning, urgent cases, remote site scanning, or as a backup for the routine digital workflow. Both scanners are complementary and can be used concurrently at central and satellite sites.

Roche Digital Pathology Dx (VENTANA DP 200), the VENTANA DP 200 slide scanner in combination with Roche’s digital pathology workflow software and a monitor, is available in the United States as an aid in clinical diagnosis, enabling pathologists to diagnose patients using digital images.

The tray-based systems minimize slide handling errors such as breakage and lost slides while improving reliability. Our digital pathology slide scanners use innovative dynamic focus optical technology and built-in calibrations to produce high-resolution, high-quality images.

With our user-friendly design, flexible workflows, and exceptional image quality, VENTANA digital pathology slide scanners from Roche empower laboratories to maximize productivity and instill confidence in clinical decisions.

Enhance image quality and clinical confidence

High-speed brightfield scanners with dynamic focus technology and innovative optics create excellent image quality. White balance calibration periodically occurs during the scanning workflow to ensure a reliable and consistent image. Furthermore, VENTANA scanners offer a Calibrations and Diagnostics Utility that may send periodic reminders to users.

These features provide peace of mind of a reliable scan, from efficient tray loading to the final acquisition of the high-quality whole slide image, enhancing pathologists' confidence in clinical decisions.

Maximize performance and reliability

The tray-based slide scanners are engineered with minimal moving parts. Sample slides move through the scanner on the tray without interference by a robotic mechanism, allowing for a high-quality scan even if the slides are wet, frozen, or if the coverslips are slightly off center. This eliminates slide-handling errors such as breakage and loss of slides.

Furthermore, automatic calibrations and built-in diagnostics ensure consistent and high-quality results. Roche's customer support teams are ready to assist with the setup and ongoing operational needs.

Roche has been instrumental in implementing digital pathology in our Pathology Department. Their support in the hardware set-up and maintenance is important as hospital engineers typically are not trained in this type of equipment.
