SeongKohn Traders’ Corporation and technology innovator Pixcelldata announce partnership for digital pathology software in Korea
Seoul, Republic of Korea & Dublin, Ireland (PRWEB) November 03, 2014 -- Korea’s largest supplier to the pathology market, SeongKohn Traders’ Corporation and Pixcelldata, the innovative Irish developer of digital pathology management and collaboration software, have announced a significant new partnership to offer Pixcelldata technologies in the Korean pathology market.
SeongKohn Traders’ is the leading provider of automated instruments and consumables for cytology, histology and autopsy, and forensic laboratories in Korea. The deal will see the Korean company market Pixcelldata’s Collibio software - an advanced web application for storing, managing, reviewing, and sharing digital pathology images and associated case data.
Collibio will be used to prepare proficiency tests and slide conferences for the Korean Society of Pathologists (KSP), the Korean Society for Cytopathologists (KSC) and their sub-study groups and regional meetings, as well as for veterinary and toxicology pathologists.
SeongKohn Traders’ has added a Digital Pathology Solution and Molecular Pathology Business Unit to its existing conventional pathology business units, making it the biggest supplier to the pathology laboratory market in Korea. The introduction of Collibio is further confirmation of their expansion and reinforcement of their leadership position in the market.
Moo Yeol Yoon, CEO of SeongKohn Traders’ Corporation said “With the introduction of Collibio software, we are now able to offer the most versatile and advanced virtual slide hosting system to our clients. Based on the last seven years of slide hosting experience, we came to the conclusion that the only solution capable of meeting the various demands of our clients should be a consolidated-web viewer with fully integrated image manipulation functions and Collibio was the obvious solution. Our clients, who include leading pathology authorities such as KSP and KSC, will now benefit from the improved efficiency and interoperability that the software offers.”
Alan Hanley, CEO of Pixcelldata said, “As well as having a unique understanding of the needs of Korean pathology laboratories, SeongKohn Traders’ also has extensive experience and in-depth knowledge of digital pathology. Their know-how and expertise, coupled with our innovative Collibio solution, is the perfect combination. We’re delighted to partner with them as we work together to expand our presence in the Korean digital pathology market.”
