Pramana Spectral Whole Slide Scanners

Pramana, Inc. is a digital pathology company with a legal address in Cambridge, Massachusetts, now part of Evident. Its site says Evident finalized the acquisition on 2025-08-27 and that the products use a hardware-software co-design approach for autonomous whole slide imaging.

The range includes SpectralHT 4-Head (up to 960 slides with Pramana baskets), SpectralHT 2-Head (up to 480 slides) and SpectralM for cassette-based 1×3 or 2×3 inch slides. Logos on the site include Arup, Caris Life Sciences, Duke, Mayo Clinic and Splice Histology.

• SpectralHT 4-Head: up to 960 slides with Pramana baskets or 320 with Sakura baskets.
• SpectralHT 2-Head: up to 480 slides with Pramana baskets.
• SpectralM: cassette-based scanning for 1x3 or 2x3 inch slides.
• Autonomous operation: hardware-software co-design for unattended scanning.
• Compliance: CE, IVDR and ISO listed; research use only in the US.
• Partner ecosystem: scanners listed by Techcyte and Gestalt as compatible.

A national cancer hospital can digitize its slide archive. A reference laboratory can run overnight batch scanning. A pharma research lab can scan trial tissue slides at scale.

High-capacity scanners cut manual slide handling in large laboratories. The site lists CE, IVDR and ISO status. Backing by Evident gives access to a larger service and distribution network. The range supports cassette-based and standard slide formats.

Large laboratories are buying high-throughput scanners to digitize archives and daily workflow. Evident (formerly Olympus Scientific) distributes in Asia, which can bring such scanners to Vietnamese hospital and reference laboratories as digital pathology adoption grows.
