PictorLabs, a leader in AI-powered virtual staining technology, and Hamamatsu Photonics, a renowned provider of whole slide imaging systems, are excited to announce a strategic partnership to develop cutting-edge applications to advance virtual staining in routine laboratory practices.
Innovations with AI and advanced imaging
PictorLabs, a rapidly growing startup spun off from the UCLA Colleges of Engineering and Medicine, has been at the forefront of the digital transformation of histopathology. By leveraging AI-powered algorithms, PictorLabs eliminates the need for toxic reagents while significantly reducing turnaround times when compared to traditional chemical stain results. With PictorLabs technology and the ability to run multiple stains on a single slide, clinicians and researchers will be able to access digitally stained slides in minutes, enabling faster experiments, less tissue consumption, and better-informed insights.
Hamamatsu Corporation is the North American subsidiary of Hamamatsu Photonics K.K. (Japan), a leading manufacturer of devices for the generation and measurement of infrared, visible, and ultraviolet light. Known for its NanoZoomer series of whole slide scanners, Hamamatsu has been a pivotal player in advancing digital pathology. NanoZoomer systems are renowned for their reproducibility and reliability, making them a trusted choice for laboratories worldwide.
