Leica Biosystems Embeds Aspera into Aperio ePaology Solutions

CAMBRIDGE2013 BIO IT WORLD, Booth 234April 9, 2013Aspera, Inc., creators of next-generation technologies that move the world's big data at maximum speed,today announced that the leading provider of ePathology systems, Leica Biosystems, through its Aperio ePathology Solutions, has integrated Aspera's industry leading Connect Server to move large digital images over ePathAccess worldwide.

Aperio ePathology Solutions begin by converting glass slides to electronic whole slide images (eSlides) that can be managed and distributed inside an institution, within an IT network, or now, across the globe. Uploading these images easily, quickly and securely was the challenge since each eSlide can be very large, and an entire patient case, can be a gigabyte of data. Aspera has helped to overcome this challenge.

Embedded in ePathAccess, using a flexible set of APIs, Aspera fasp enables secure, high-speed transfer of eSlides and electronic pathology records, within the Aperio Managed Network, ensuring the fastest upload, and eliminating the associated time and travel costs related to expert collaboration. Turnaround time is significantly decreased, making it possible for remote sites with limited access to pathology services to expand patient services.

Healthcare is benefiting from global collaboration, and with data becoming larger and larger, traditional methods for transferring files are now obsolete, said Anne Brumme, Vice President, Research and Development for Leica Biosystems. The Aspera transfer platform powers the high-speed distribution of data, and integrating with their rich APIs and SDK was straightforward. Our customers can now move their data at the maximum speed, fully utilizing available bandwidth while drastically reducing the time and effort needed to complete critical projects.'

Leica Biosystems' ePathAccess is on the cutting edge, providing solutions to the industry so we are excited to have created this partnership,' said John Wastcoat, vice president, business development at Aspera. By enabling their customers to quickly and securely transfer files, collaborations and expert reviews are accelerated resulting in greatly enhanced patient care.'
