About dIFine® automated microscope

The dIFine® automated microscope is a fully automated IFA microscope, which improves the laboratory workflow significantly. With the small footprint of just 40 x 47cm², it can be accommodated in compact laboratory spaces. The high throughput of 8 seconds per well(1) and the capacity of up to 96 fields per run ensure a long walk away time combined with a high performance. The automated image acquisition, analysis, display and storage streamlines the everyday workflow.

The built-in classifier can identify and suggest different ANA patterns by means of the most advanced artificial intelligence (Homogeneous, Nucleolar, Centromere, Speckled, Cytoplasmic (Ribosomal), Cytoplasmic (Mitochondrial), Nuclear Dots, Nuclear Membrane). Negative samples can be released in batches, so not every single negative picture needs to be evaluated. During the result interpretation also the integrated image atlas ensures easy validations with a possible side-by-side reference.

All slides are equipped with a 2D barcode, which identifies the slide, but also includes information about Lot Number and expiration date for a full traceability all the way to the LIS system(2). The high-quality optics within the microscope provide vibrant colors and the long lasting LED illumination together with the state-of-the-art camera create brilliant pictures for an easy interpretation.
