Vectra 3 Automated Quantitative Pathology Imaging System
The Vectra 3 has been discontinued and replaced with the PhenoImager Fusion
The Vectra® 3 automated quantitative pathology imaging system can accelerate your cancer immunology research.
The Vectra 3 automated quantitative pathology imaging system, together with the inForm® software, provides multispectral and automated multi-slide imaging of up to 6 slides to detect and measure weakly expressed and overlapping biomarkers in H&E, IHC or IF intact FFPE tissue sections or TMAs within a familiar digital pathology workflow.

Product Details
Vectra 3, used with the Phenochart™ whole slide contextual viewer, facilitates annotation capability into the digital pathology workflow, where pathologists and technicians can navigate around slides and identify areas of interest for high-resolution multispectral acquisition. It accurately measures protein and biomarker expression and morphometric characteristics in intact tissue sections for translational studies.
Key Benefits
- Supports Akoya’s PhenoImager™ workflow solution for cancer immunology research
- Detects and measures multiple weakly expressed and overlapping biomarkers within a single H&E, IHC or IF tissue section and in TMAs
- Visualizes, analyzes, quantifies and phenotypes immune cells in situ in solid tissues
- Automated loading of up to 6 slides
- Phenochart whole slide viewer for slide navigation provides context for identification of regions of interest within a digital pathology workflow
- Automatic identification of specific tissue types using integrated inForm analysis software
