Advancing digital pathology adoption: Versant Diagnostics and Leica Biosystems expand collaboration
The collaboration between Leica Biosystems and Versant Diagnostics has resulted in the successful implementation of the Aperio GT Elite, a rapid scanner that integrates LIS data for efficient, minimal-intervention slide analysis, supporting research and clinical workflows.

Leica Biosystems and Versant Diagnostics have expanded their collaboration to advance digital pathology adoption. PRW Laboratories, in partnership with Versant Diagnostics and Versant DermPath, has become the world’s first laboratory to deploy the recently launched Aperio GT Elite solution.
Designed for high-throughput, time-critical digital pathology workflows, the Aperio GT Elite scanner helps accelerate slide processing and review with minimal manual intervention and rework. It can scan as fast as 22 seconds per slide and integrate LIS data to drive automated scanning protocols based on criteria such as tissue or stain type.
The deployment reflects growing adoption of high-throughput, AI-enabled digital pathology workflows and builds on a longstanding collaboration between Leica Biosystems and Versant Diagnostics. Before adding the Aperio GT Elite solution, Versant Diagnostics leveraged the Leica Biosystems Aperio GT 450 scanner to digitize whole-slide images, alongside Indica Labs’ HALO AP document as their image management solution.
