NED-QR
The NED-QR quantitative biopsy reader allows real-time, objective, quantitative measurements of biopsies. The device also provides a less expensive, more accurate approach to comprehensively image frozen slides to evaluate resection margins in real time during surgery. The NED-QR and Imager provide the following features:
- 18” x 30” instrument
- Ordinary laboratory power, no special power source required
- Quantitative, objective data from entire sample in minutes
- Limit of detection and resolution ~100 cells
- Location and imaging ~0.5 mm
- Flow Cytometry performance, but faster and cheaper, and with imaging capability
Other advantages include:
-
Can detect as few as ~100 cells present in an entire biopsy
- Too many cancers are missed on first biopsy (eg, 70% of prostate cancers)
-
Objective measurement of cell
- Subjective biopsy reading makes results dependent on training and experience of the reader
-
Quantitative results in minutes
- Subjective results, performed off-line, mean no opportunity to resample on the same visit
-
Comprehensive imaging of entire section in minutes
-
Manual reading of section margins cannot provide immediate, comprehensive feedback to surgeon in time to adjust surgery
