Evident has expanded its Pramana digital pathology portfolio with the POD whole slide imaging (WSI) scanner, a new benchtop system designed to help laboratories produce trusted images.
Built for small and medium-sized laboratories and specialty applications within larger institutions, the scanner helps make digital pathology adoption more accessible. The new Pramana POD benchtop whole slide imaging (WSI) scanner, unveiled at Pathology Visions 2026.
"Pramana WSI technology has received tremendous acceptance from pathology laboratories across academic medical centres and network laboratories across the United States," said Prasanth Perugupalli, Vice President of Digital Pathology, Evident. "By incorporating quality assurance into the whole slide imaging process, Pramana technology can help laboratories of varying sizes reduce the need for post-scan QA and the associated costs and delays."
The Pramana POD scanner automates imaging with an advanced tissue finder, extensive label detection, and automated focal plane and scan-profile selection. Built-in image-quality assessment helps deliver pathologist-ready whole slide images and identify scans that may require further review. Volumetric imaging captures multiple focal planes to support the selection of sharp focal information across the scanned area, with true 40X imaging at 25 slides per hour under defined conditions.
The Pramana series of autonomous WSI scanners is well-suited for most brightfield imaging applications, including histopathology, core biopsies, haematology, cytology, and microbiology.
