The marriage between a virtual microscopy provider and a proprietor of digital imaging systems does make sense:
Trestle Holdings Inc., a supplier of digital imaging systems and services for pathology, drug safety and discovery, has partnered with Bacus Laboratories Inc. to integrate Bacus’ advanced digital microscope systems with Trestle’s suite of digital pathology workflow applications. The agreement enables customers to take advantage of Trestle’s new Xcellerator™ application suite and connect it to a wider choice of digital microscopy devices…
“As pathologists embrace digital devices and workflow applications, it is essential that the industry respond with improved plug-and-play compatibility so that users can derive more value from their investments in equipment,” said Maurizio Vecchione, chief executive officer of Trestle Holdings Inc. “Our partnering with Bacus Laboratories, a leader in virtual microscopy, is intended to result in more choices, increased flexibility and better ROI for pathologists as they adopt Trestle’s digital pathology workflow technology. Now, pathologists can choose the optimal device for specialized forms of imaging and integrate their virtual microscopy data into one, consistent, standardized digital workflow solution.”
Dr. James Bacus, president of Bacus Laboratories, commented: “The Trestle digital pathology workflow applications are a significant step forward in the evolution of virtual microscopy. There is now a recognized need to organize virtual slides in a meaningful and flexible way for storage and subsequent review by multiple parties. This agreement will allow both companies to focus on their respective areas of expertise. We look forward to working with Trestle in this exciting area.”
