Evident announced the Pramana POD whole slide imaging scanner on October 17, 2026, at Pathology Visions 2026. The new system is designed to bring autonomous imaging to small and medium-sized laboratories.
New Benchtop Scanner
Evident announced the Pramana POD whole slide imaging scanner, a benchtop system built to help laboratories produce trusted images. According to the company, the device extends proven Pramana autonomous WSI technology to smaller laboratories and specialty applications within larger institutions.
The scanner automates imaging with an advanced tissue finder, extensive label detection, and automated focal plane and scan-profile selection.
Features and Applications
Prasanth Perugupalli, Vice President of Digital Pathology at Evident, said the technology helps labs reduce the need for post-scan QA and associated costs. Built-in image-quality assessment helps deliver pathologist-ready whole slide images and identify scans that may require further review.
The system captures multiple focal planes to support the selection of sharp focal information, achieving true 40X imaging at 25 slides per hour under defined conditions. Evident states the series is suited for brightfield imaging applications including histopathology, core biopsies, hematology, cytology, and microbiology.
