Tissue-Handling Tech

The BxChip is a patented Sectionable Matrix. It can hold up to six biopsy core specimens throughout
lab processing. One study reported the following benefits of using the BxChip in their urology lab:
• Histologic tissue surface area (mm2) increased by an average of 14.5% on the glass slide.
• Biopsy core length increased by an average of 31.8%.
• Most notably, the overall cancer detection rate increased by 9.3% (49.5% to 58.8%)!

Labs using the BxChip also see an average of 78% reduction in grossing time, an 83% reduction in embedding, and a 76% decrease in total lab time per prostate case.

The Smart Tissue Camera 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 adds 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 well 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.
