Evident Launches Pramana POD Benchtop Scanner for Smaller Labs
Needham, Mass. – October 16, 2026 -- Evident has launched the Pramana POD, a benchtop whole slide imaging (WSI) scanner that scans at true 40X resolution at 25 slides per hour under defined conditions and targets small and medium-sized pathology laboratories.
Evident extends autonomous Pramana WSI technology to smaller laboratories
The system is built for small and medium-sized labs and for specialty applications within larger institutions. Evident is extending its existing Pramana autonomous WSI technology to this segment as laboratories expand digital workflows amid rising case volumes and operational demands.
Automated imaging aims to cut operator intervention and post-scan QA
The scanner automates imaging with a tissue finder, extensive label detection, and automated focal plane and scan-profile selection. Built-in image-quality assessment is designed to deliver pathologist-ready images and flag scans that may need further review.
