Leica Microsystems releases SlidePath Gateway for iPads and iPhones

Leica Microsystems, the world leader in microscopes and scientific instruments has announced the release of a free digital pathology application for iPads and iPhones under its Total Digital Pathology solutions which provides complete solutions to scan manage and analyze digital slides. The application can make the jobs of pathologists and other researchers slightly easier by making it easy to identify the tissue samples they are viewing under microscope. The new application known as SlidePath Gateway is a Digital Pathology viewing application with built in educational content from leading institutes and pathologists. SlidePath App provides free access to high quality External Quality Assessment (EQA) programs along with high resolution whole slide images captured on Leica SCN400 slide scanner along with expert diagnosis.

With increased acceptance of devices like iPad and other tablets in laboratories, hospitals and clinical settings, as a tool to enhance the features or usability of current equipments, SlidePath is the first application by Leica to use iPads. The application is now available on the Apple “App Store”.

Beckman Coulter launches mass spectrometer with OptiMS Technology

Beckman Coulter, Inc. recently introduced the CESI 8000 High Performance Separation ESI Module with OptiMS Technology. The OptiMS technology merges an intrinsically low flow capillary electrophoresis (CE) for mass spectroscopy (MS) along with electrospray ionization (ESI) coupling technology, within a single dynamic process. CESI 8000 is the first mass spectrometer which comes with the CESI technology (CS + ESI) and is designed to be robust, provide high sensitivity, decrease cycle time, to be able to accept minute quantities of sample and to provide a broad range of analyte coverage that is complimentary to GC-MS and LC-MS. ESI readings are generated at an ultra-slow rate of nL/min which results in extremely high sensitivity and reduced ion suppression. The new CESI technology was demonstrated by Beckman Coulter at the “Supercharging your Mass Spectrometer with CESI-MS” workshop at the HPLC 2011 symposium to be able to analyze and identify molecules that were being overlooked in spectrometers without CESI. The CESI 8000 can greatly help researchers having problems in analyzing polar and charged molecules.
