The Histolog® Scanner enables real-time, ultra-fast confocal microscopy, allowing for the immediate imaging of resected tissues. This advancement aims to enable physicians to improve their efficiency.

“We are thrilled to introduce the Histolog® Scanner to the U.S. market,” said Dr. Charles Carignan, Executive Chairman of SamanTree Medical. “This FDA clearance is a significant milestone for the company. The ability of the Histolog® Scanner to produce real-time imaging of the internal microstructure of tissues provides surgeons and pathologists with immediate, actionable information.”

Prof. Dr. Alex Mottrie, Head of the Urological Department OLV Hospital, Aalst, Belgium and CEO of ORSI Academy, Ghent, Belgium, commented on the impact of this new technology: “The Histolog® Scanner represents cutting-edge technology in imaging of freshly excised tissue. Its ability to provide high-resolution, real-time images allows us to make more informed decisions.”

Prof. Dr. Ari D. Brooks, Director of Endocrine and Oncologic Surgery, Pennsylvania Hospital, Philadelphia, PA said “The Histolog technology has the potential to significantly reduce the cost, resources and delays associated with the current lack of real-time high-resolution imaging”. Prof Dr. Douglas Scherr, Clinical Director of Urologic Oncology at the Weill Medical College of Cornell University said “Providing imaging data at this resolution has the potential to aid in patient care. In our practice and across Urology, as a field, we are facing limitations in the ability to provide timely decisions to our patients. We will count on the Histolog Scanner to provide us with the ability to image the tissues’ microstructures in real-time and to enable us to make immediate decisions.”

The FDA clearance of the Histolog® Scanner marks a crucial moment in SamanTree Medical’s mission to expand its innovative imaging solutions globally. With this clearance, SamanTree is set to accelerate its U.S. market entry, ensuring that more healthcare providers can leverage the benefits of this cutting-edge technology.

Parse Biosciences Launches Evercode Low Input Fixation for Cells and Nuclei4.11.2024 18:00:00 EET | Press release

Parse Biosciences, a leading provider of accessible and scalable single cell sequencing solutions, today announced the launch and availability of Evercode™ Low Input Fixation kits for both cells and nuclei. The new kits empower researchers who have a small number of starting cells or nuclei who ordinarily might not be able to perform single cell sequencing using fixed cells. Fixation is a strategy used by many single cell researchers because it enables them to collect samples at different times and then perform library preparation and sequencing at once when all of the samples are amassed. Yet, a well-known challenge across all fixation technologies is that they require a certain number of cells or nuclei, usually 50,000 or greater. With the new kits from Parse, researchers can start with as few as 10,000 cells or nuclei. The new low input fixation kits are ideal for researchers working with limited cells across various conditions or those handling rare and precious samples. These kits
