Access to FFPE tissue should be as diverse as the disease itself.

Discovery Life Sciences takes a Science at Your Service™ approach to provide scientists worldwide with a diverse range of highly characterized (hyper annotated®) human FFPE biospecimens to accelerate all your programs.

RELIABLE FFPE SELECTION WITH DIGITAL H&E SLIDES

  • More than 30,000 blocks with digital H&E images so you can order with confidence

ACTIONABLE SAMPLE DATA

  • Choose wisely knowing tumor percentage, tumor enriched area, and other critical specifications
  • Molecular pathology results included where available

SAMPLE INTEGRITY

  • All pathology data are confirmed and triple checked by Discovery’s board-certified pathologists

QUICK SAMPLE DELIVERY

  • Rapid sample delivery after purchase, usually within 10 business days

SORTABLE INVENTORY REPORT

  • Quickly identify blocks that match your criteria by sorting and filtering our comprehensive FFPE inventory reports

UNMATCHED ACCESS

  • With over 30,000 quality reviewed blocks in inventory, Discovery can provide the samples you need to accelerate your research

AI-Annotated FFPE Tissues with Precise Tumor Content Quantification

Discovery has deployed PathAI’s AISight® workflow solutions in our pathology workflow, enabling a new level of precision in tumor content quantification.  AI-annotation is able to calculate tumor percent at a decimal-point level of precision, surpassing the traditional qualitative assessments of pathologists and empowering faster turnaround times for large-scale research projects.

ArtifactDetect automatically identifies potential histology and scanning QC issues.
TumorDetect identifies and quantifies cancer area, cancer stroma, and necrosis.

AISight® is for Research Use Only in the US; AISight® Dx is CE-IVD marked in the EEA, UK, and Switzerland. ArtifactDetect and TumorDetect are research use only products available on AISight® Image Management System, not for use in diagnostic procedures.
