VENTANA DP 600 slide scanner
Enabling full digitization of your pathology laboratory
The VENTANA DP 600 is an integral part of Roche Digital Pathology Dx. It empowers laboratories to utilize digital images for primary diagnosis, providing pathologists with enhanced capabilities that could improve the diagnostic process and workflow efficiency in the modern lab.
The VENTANA DP 600 slide scanner offers multiple applications and use cases to laboratories
- High-capacity scanning for up to 240 slides (40 trays of 6 slides)
- Immediate file transfer for earlier collaboration
Built by pathologists for pathologists, the end-to-end Roche Digital Pathology Solution focuses on maximizing the pathologists' unique training, skills and vision.
VENTANA DP 600 slide scanner introduction
What makes VENTANA scanners robust and reliable?
VENTANA slide scanners use tray-based systems engineered with minimal moving parts. The slides move through the system on the tray without interference by a robotic mechanism, allowing for a high quality scan even if the cover slips are slightly off center. The tray-based system eliminates slide-handling errors such as breakage and loss of slides.
To ensure a reliable and consistent image, the scanners automatically perform a white balance calibration which occurs periodically in the background when scanning is in progress. Furthermore, VENTANA scanners offer a Calibrations and Diagnostics Utility. These built-in diagnostics offer periodic reminders for the user to check the health of their slide scanner.
VENTANA slide scanners offer the peace of mind of a reliable scan, from efficient tray loading to the final high quality whole slide image.
