Anatomic and forensic pathology equipment firm Mopec Group has announced a strategic partnership with Lumea, an innovator in digital pathology and AI-powered workflows.
This collaboration reflects both companies' shared mission to simplify and modernise pathology workflows to improve diagnostic accuracy. By integrating Lumea's BxCamera directly into Mopec Group's advanced Maestro Encore grossing stations (pictured), the partnership empowers pathologist professionals with high-resolution imaging and digital tools right at the first step of specimen preparation – streamlining processes, enhancing consistency, and improving diagnostic outcomes.
This collaboration represents an important milestone in Mopec Group's broader strategy to transform the grossing station into the pathology command centre. By integrating Lumea's AI-assisted imaging technology for small specimens, Mopec Group is building upon its existing large-specimen imaging capabilities - taking a deliberate step toward a fully digital, intelligent, and connected laboratory environment.
"This partnership is a strategic step in advancing the grossing station toward the future of digital pathology," said Francis X Dirksmeier, CEO of Mopec Group. "With integrated large-specimen imaging already in place, adding Lumea's AI-assisted small-specimen imaging as an integrated solution is a natural next move for our Maestro Encore platform. Lumea's proven digital pathology expertise aligns perfectly with our purpose to enrich life by building the platform to transform the treatment of disease."
"We're excited to partner with Mopec and infuse innovation directly into a pathologist's daily workflow," said James Thackeray, CEO of Lumea. "The grossing station is one of the most critical touchpoints in the pathology journey. Using digital tools at this stage transforms efficiency, consistency, and ultimately, patient care."
In addition to integrating the Lumea BxCamera into every station, Mopec Group and Lumea plan to co-develop next-generation solutions that bring together small and large format imaging systems within the Maestro Encore grossing station as a platform built specifically for the evolving needs of digital pathology.
