Its Aperio GT 450 DX scanner is FDA-cleared, the BOND-III and BOND-PRIME stainers automate staining, and its Novocastra antibodies supply the reagents. OnCo links it to whole-slide scanners and image management, histology automation and IHC autostainers, reference laboratories and companion diagnostic testing, and histopathology and immunohistochemistry. Whether the glass slide gives way fully to digital workflows in routine pathology depends on suppliers like this one. The whole-slide scanner page carries the wider picture.","asOf":"2026-09-08","links":[{"label":"Official website","url":"https://www.leicabiosystems.com"}],"tags":["supporting"],"related":[],"cancers":[],"sections":["diagnostics"],"technologies":["whole-slide-scanners","reference-laboratories","histopathology-ihc"],"targets":[],"drugs":[],"companies":[],"institutions":[],"pathways":[],"terms":[],"trials":[],"people":[],"bottlenecks":[],"keyPapers":[],"journals":[],"dependsOn":[],"notes":[],"hq":"Nussloch","country":"DE","companyType":"diagnostics","website":"https://www.leicabiosystems.com","investors":[],"funding":[]},"route":"/companies/leica-biosystems/","neighbours":{"section":[{"id":"diagnostics","kind":"section","name":"Diagnostics & Biomarkers","route":"/fronts/diagnostics/"}],"technology":[{"id":"ihc-autostainers-histology-automation","kind":"technology","name":"Histology automation and IHC autostainers","route":"/technologies/ihc-autostainers-histology-automation/"},{"id":"histopathology-ihc","kind":"technology","name":"Histopathology & immunohistochemistry","route":"/technologies/histopathology-ihc/"},{"id":"reference-laboratories","kind":"technology","name":"Reference laboratories and companion-diagnostic testing","route":"/technologies/reference-laboratories/"},{"id":"whole-slide-scanners","kind":"technology","name":"Whole-slide scanners and image management","route":"/technologies/whole-slide-scanners/"}]}}
