Roche announced the CE launch of the next-generation VENTANA  DP 600 slide scanner (CE-IVD marked), according to a news release. 
This high-capacity slide scanner produces excellent image  quality of stained histology slides from patient tissue samples, while  providing ease-of-use and workflow flexibility for the pathology lab.
The VENTANA DP 600 slide scanner is an important addition to  the Roche Digital Pathology portfolio, which provides innovative, high-quality  digital solutions that automate tissue diagnostics and empower pathologists to  provide faster and more comprehensive diagnostic results to healthcare  providers and their patients.
Digital Pathology refers to the digitalization of the  traditional pathology workflow starting from slide scanning to visualization to  analysis. Digital Pathology is transforming traditional histopathology by  improving efficiency, depth of analysis, and opportunity for collaboration in  pathology workflows.
For example, once the slide scanner captures and converts  stained tissue on glass slides to digital images, these images can be managed,  shared, and analyzed by pathologists and can help determine a cancer patient’s  treatment.
This new 240-slide scanner, which builds on the success of  the 6-slide VENTANA DP 200 scanner, will help anatomic pathology laboratories  accelerate the digitalization of their pathology workflow. Both scanners  feature the same innovative optics and dynamic focus technology for  high-resolution, high-quality color images that accurately reproduce the image  quality that pathologists see under microscopes.
