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
