Pictor Labs announced the release of ClearStain, an AI-powered virtual staining technology, on Thursday. ClearStain enables pathologists to visualize and annotate the exact tissue being sequenced with no adjacent slides and no chemical stains, the company said. The technology could accelerate turnaround time from days to minutes, according to Pictor Labs. Pathologists compared tissues and…
Proscia adds Pictor Labs’ virtual stains; firms cite 96–100% ‘appropriate for workup’ in evaluations
Pathology labs still spend hours, and sometimes days, moving fragile tissue through reagent-intensive staining workflows that add cost, variability and waste. Virtual staining, an approach which uses AI models to transform label-free tissue images into counterparts that mimic chemical stains, aims to compress that process significantly while preserving scarce tissue and standardizing results across sites.…
