BIOQUANT SCAN Add-on

BIOQUANT SCAN is control software for motorized stages and digital cameras. It enables the automated scanning of histology slides and well plate cell cultures. It is available as an add on to both BIOQUANT OSTEO and BIOQUANT Life Science.

Reasons to Scan your Samples

  1. Freedom: Measure scans at any magnification, work anywhere you like, collaborate with colleagues world-wide.

  2. Security: Preserve samples against stain degradation and accidents.

  3. Accountability: See exactly what was measured and precisely what the section looked like when it was measured.

Complete Hardware Control

BIOQUANT SCAN supports either your microscope with a microscope upgrade kits (Kit 3 or Kit 4), or the BIOIMAGER Scanning Microscope.

OSTEOIMAGER Scanning Microscope

Using the OSTEOIMAGER microscopy scanner, you can change the objective lens, control the brightfield or excitation light source, move the stage, and capture images all from a unified software application.

See OSTEOIMAGER Scanner

Microscope Upgrade Kits

Using a scanning upgrade kit to your existing microscope, you can scan tissue sections or welled plates.

BIOQUANT SCAN supports Kit 3 and Kit 4.

See Microscope Upgrade Kits

Scan up to 8 tissue sections or 96 wells

Scan Slides

Scan up to 8 tissue sections on 4 slides. The typical scan time is about 8 minutes per section with a 20X objective.

Scan Plates

Scan up to 96 wells per plate, at a typical scan time of about 3 minutes per well with a 10X objective.

Export Scans for Analysis

Save scans in the calibrated BIF (BIOQUANT Image Format) for analysis in BIOQUANT OSTEO or BIOQUANT Life Science. Save images in the uncalibrated TIF (Tagged Image File) for analysis in other image analysis software. Save images with measurement tracings to SVG format for record keeping, figure generation, and supplements to published research.
