Vectra Polaris Automated Quantitative Pathology Imaging System

Imaging system which enables identification and quantification of multiple biomarkers

Introduction

The fully automated Vectra Polaris Quantitative Pathology Imaging System provides researchers unparalleled speed, performance, and versatility for extracting proteomic and morphometric information from intact FFPE tissue sections or TMAs. Vectra Polaris is the only instrument on the market that goes beyond basic functions, like whole slide, brightfield, and fluorescence imaging. It integrates the power of multispectral imaging in a simplified elegant workflow.

Coupled with the proven power of inForm® image analysis software, this multiplexing capability enables identification and quantification of multiple biomarkers and reveals spatial context within a digital workflow to assist researchers with better, faster decisions.
