Tissue-Handling Tech

The BxChip is a patented Sectionable Matrix designed to hold up to six biopsy core specimens throughout lab processing. One study reported significant benefits of using the BxChip in their urology lab:

• 14.5% average increase in histologic tissue surface area on the glass slide.
• 31.8% average increase in biopsy core length.
• Most notably, the overall cancer detection rate increased by 9.3%!

Labs using the BxChip also experience an average of:

• 78% reduction in grossing time.
• 83% reduction in embedding time.
• 76% decrease in total lab time per prostate case.

Enhance your lab and optimize your grossing station with Lumea’s AI-driven BxCam®, a reliable and affordable machine-learning tool used on over 2 million specimens that measures and documents specimens in seconds.

The BxCam takes accessioning to the next level. A laboratory technician places a specimen under the camera, which uses artificial intelligence to quickly and accurately measure the entire surface area of the tissue. An RFID reader simultaneously links it to the correct patient encounter in the LIS. Gross your specimens in seconds with minimal handling.

RFID Readers enable Lumea’s BxLink users to associate an RFID Tag to a specific patient sample.

RFID Tags to use with BxBoards and BxChips. RFID tags strengthen and enhance the chain-of-custody tracking for patient tissue and add an additional patient identifier. When RFID is linked to a patient encounter, it immediately initiates tracking so physicians can see where the tissue is at every step of the process.

Lumea’s BxBoard Anti-Slip Platform holds a BxBoard steady and in place during a procedure. The platform makes it easier for surgeons and physicians to load the BxBoard with tissue, especially if they do not have an assistant or nurse to assist during the biopsy.

Lumea’s embedding tampers are designed and sized to apply even pressure to the full extent of the BxChip. The tamper base is aluminum, which can heat up quickly and is less likely to adhere to the back of the BxChip. The ergonomic handle fits nicely between the thumb and index finger interspace without fatiguing the user’s hand.

The BxChip is perfect for medical laboratories! Our patented Sectionable Matrix technology allows you to increase tissue surface area and preserve the integrity of the tissue while aiding pathologists in cancer detection rate.
