Pannoramic - Model 1000 - High-End, Extra Fast and Super-Efficient Slide Digitalization System

The PANNORAMIC 1000 is the largest-capacity whole-slide scanner on the market with 1000 slides – using Leica slide racks, slide loading capacity can be further increased to 1200. Slide loading and scanning are fully automatic, enabling “walk-away” scanning for a whole day’s needs, speeding up the laboratory workflow and freeing up valuable lab resources. It is the fastest whole-slide scanner on the market at up to 100 slides per hour, 2000 slides per day (at 40x resolution, 0.25 μm/pixel, single layer).

The PANNORAMIC 1000 has a completely new hardware design: Its antivibration granite base and dual slide stage ensure maximum stability and image quality and its robust construction is designed for heavy-duty use, while it offers easy-maintenance robotized loading.

In terms of slide logistics, the PANNORAMIC 1000 offers several innovative features.

• Its magazine panels support Leica and Sakura slide racks compatible with several stainer-coverslippers, offering laboratories great flexibility.
• Its robotized loader ensures rapid loading, while slide processing remains flexible, allowing for priority slide handling and scanning in arbitrary order.
• Importantly, double-width slides are also supported.
• Finally, a safety container dedicated for problematic slides has been added, so that slides with quality issues (chips, cracks) do not interfere with scanning operations.

• Excellent image quality is guaranteed by the PANNORAMIC 1000’s three separate objectives, exchangeable automatically during scanning.
• Optional water immersion with a precision pipetting unit and water quantity sensor is available.
• Optional multilayer (Z-stack) and extended focus scanning are available for more specific scanning needs.
• Intensity stitching with intensity compensation works also on the Z axis, resulting in better compensated images with multilayer scanning.
• Both tissue detection and coverslip detection are fully automated.
• For the scanned images, multiple image compression, color profile and schemes as well as multiple image compensation are available. 

Integrated slide server and storage as well as a new, sturdy workbench for ergonomic operations are optionally included.
