Leica Aperio GT450 Digital Slide Scanner – High-Throughput Automated Whole Slide Imaging System
Product Description
The Leica Aperio GT450 Digital Slide Scanner is an advanced automated whole slide imaging system designed for efficient high-throughput digital pathology, histology, and biomedical research workflows. This instrument supports continuous loading and digitization of up to 450 histology slides, compatible with 15 racks holding either 20 or 30 slides each, enabling large-scale slide digitization essential for molecular diagnostics, cancer research, and bioprocessing documentation.
Key technical features include:
- Dual 20x and 40x magnification objectives delivering high-resolution images, with a finest pixel resolution of 0.26 μm at 40x, ideal for detailed cellular and tissue morphology analysis relevant to biotechnology and synthetic biology research.
- Fast scan speed of 32 seconds per 15 × 15 mm area at 40x, facilitating throughput rates of approximately 81 slides per hour, critical for labs requiring rapid turnaround in drug discovery and clinical diagnostics.
- Automated functionalities such as image quality checks, barcode reading of both 1D and 2D symbologies, and calibrated imaging parameters to ensure reproducible, high-quality digital slide production suited for molecular pathology and biomedical engineering applications.
- The scanner accepts standard 1 × 3 inch microscopy slides and maintains a 1 mm field of view (FOV) for precise scanning coverage.
- Physical dimensions of 20.8 × 28 × 19.5 inches and weight of 140 lbs (63.5 kg) reflect its benchtop form factor optimized for pathology and life sciences labs.
This digital slide scanner is widely used in clinical and research environments focusing on oncology, toxicology, and biomarker discovery. It supports archiving and collaborative sharing of digital slides, integral to workflows in biomanufacturing quality control and gene editing validation.
Please note this unit is sold as is, without warranty or service support by Leica as the GT450 model is discontinued for maintenance by the manufacturer. It does not include accompanying computer or software and requires software confirmation post-installation. The scanner is recommended for institutions capable of integrating or maintaining legacy digital pathology systems.
In summary, the Leica Aperio GT450 is a robust, high-capacity digital pathology slide scanner, well-suited for biotechnology labs involved in molecular diagnostics, cancer research, and high-volume histology digitization workflows essential in synthetic biology and biomedical engineering research domains.
