Ikonisys SA announced the first successful sale and installation of the Ikoniscope20max, the new configuration of the Ikoniscope20 with a high-volume slide loader. The client is a large volume, specialized urology laboratory, located in the Midwest USA. The Ikoniscope20max allows laboratories to automatically process up to 160 FISH slides without any further human intervention.

By way of example, the operator of a laboratory processing hundreds of slides per week could load the full rack of 160 slides on a Friday afternoon and start the scanning. On Monday morning they will find all those slides analyzed and reported. The Ikoniscope20max provides the same performance as the Ikoniscope20 both in terms of speed and accuracy of the results and the instrument has been shown to continue providing better performances if used in combination with Ikonisys optimized FISH reagents.

This development follows the timeline presented by the management during the IPO, allowing the company to address a broader market consisting of laboratories that process a very large number of slides per week or that have specific needs in terms of timing.
