Demo and proposition US
Péter Tóth, 3DHISTECH Ltd.
• More than 200 systems
• Contract with Thermo Fisher in 2017
• FDA: in progress
3DHistech in US
• Reached $100M in 2017
- Largest share of the global market
- To be doubled by 2020
• Nearly 200 scanners have been placed last year
• Biggest players: Leica, Philips, 3DHISTECH, Roche, Sakura, Hamamatsu, Zeiss
US digital pathology market
US digital pathology market share 2017
More than 90% of the scanners sold by these companies
60% of the overall spending on digital pathology
35-40M taken by software companies, storage providers, other scanner companies
• High-throughput: speed and stability in scanning
• Many kind of slides: scanning technology, sample detection (scan profiles)
• Complexity: connection and integration
• Storage
• Multi-site projects: IT infrastructure
You need to prove all of these
Challenges in clinical demo
• Clinical customer in the Midwest
• Providing laboratory services for 26 hospitals and thousands of physician offices
• 4000 slides/day
• Million dollars spent on courier services
• FDA news GO
Clinical project 1
Project:
• 8-10 pieces of P250
• Case Center starting with50 users
• Case Viewer
• Integration
Clinical project 1
Demo:
• Leica, Philips, 3DH, Hamamatsu
• 1000 BF slides to scan on-site
• Massive evaluation
• Parallel slide comparison
• Site visits
• Scan success rate: 1000/1000(P250)
• Very good scan times• Image quality comparable or
better• Slide handling in CV
Clinical project 1
• Slide management• Missing workflow sw
Clinical project 1
The solution is the CaseManager
New slide management framework
Laboratory Information System
Digital microscope application
Complete digital pathology workflow
Clinical project 1

Challenges in MSK
• Integration: maintenance and support• Scanning cytology slides with P250
40x + single layer: 5-10 mins 40x + multilayer: 5-10 mins * number of
layers
Solution: P1000 • Scanning cytology with P1000 40x + single layer: 5 mins 2.5-5
mins 40x + multilayer: FLASH! Immersion
• Fluorescence scanning
• Filters
• Demo situations• Bad staining
• What staining? Prepare your own slides
• Weak signal
• Picky customer
• Smaller projects, lower sales volume
Challenges in research demo
Research areas US
Boston-Cambridge
San Francisco Bay Area
World's Largest Biotech Hubs
Boston Cambridge – SF Bay area
• Largest concentration of biotech activity in the world• Employ 50,000 people in bioscience-related jobs• 200 (Boston) vs 240 (SF) companies• Cambridge is more narrowly focused on pharmaceutical and biotech drug
discovery. Sanofi, Pfizer, Biogen-Idec, Novartis• Almost half of all US biotech investment is made in these areas• About 1/3 of the biotechnology employees work for companies in these areas and
about a quarter of US biotech companies are located in one of these clusters
Research project – Advanced Cell Diagnostics
• SF Bay Area• Primarily a probe and reagent products company + significant Pharma Assay
Services business• Proprietary RNA in situ hybridization (RNA ISH) assay, called RNAscope• Run both chromogenic and fluorescence RNAscope assays• Total volume is nearly 15,000 slides a year run in RNAscope services. They scan all
of these slides• Leica and Zeiss scanners• Fluorescence scanning is a major bottleneck and they needed higher throughput
scanners
Research project – Advanced Cell Diagnostics
ACD Demo
• SCAN II FL vs Zeiss AxioScan
• Mouse brain tissues stained with FITC, Cy3, Cy5 RNAscope®
Multiplex Fluorescent Assay
• Speed factor 1 layer, 20x objective
• ~2x faster than AxioScan
Research project – Advanced Cell Diagnostics
RNAscope® Multiplex Fluorescent Assay
Research project – Advanced Cell Diagnostics
ACD conclusions
• Focus on customer requirements
• Fluorescence Selling point
• Extending their application: Opal 4-plex 520/570/620/690
• Strategic partnership
Research project - BlueBirdBio
Chromogenic In Situ Hybridization (RNAscope) at BlueBirdBioDAPI, FITC, Cy3, Cy5 Quad-band
Research project - Merck
• Merck Anatomic Pathology Group, Imaging & Quantitative Analysis
• Fast brightfield scanning (H&E, IHC) + fluorescence (Opal 7-plex)
• Hamamatsu S60, Zeiss AxioScan
Research project - Merck
• Opal 7-plex. Filter set was not available Now it is!
• Fluorescence workflow, sample detection Scanner software v2.0
• Budget issue More active follow up on pricing
Merck conclusions:
