In the 21st century, says Scopio Labs CEO Itai Hayut, there’s no reason for a lab technician to be analyzing blood samples manually under a microscope. “It’s tedious and hard to perform consistently,” he says. “Yet it hasn’t changed much since the 1970s.”
What should they be doing instead? Let artificial intelligence do the heavy lifting, Hayut tells ISRAEL21c.
Scopio’s X100 Full Field PBS (for “peripheral blood smear”) can scan 15 slides an hour. A more powerful machine, the X100HT, can handle 40 slides an hour.
