The integration is designed to bridge specimen grossing with digital pathology workflows for improved diagnostic accuracy and efficiency.
Mopec will integrate Lumea’s tissue-handling technology directly into its Maestro Encore Grossing Station as part of an expanded partnership between the two pathology companies.
The Lumea device integration will be available as an optional feature on the Maestro Encore beginning Oct 1, 2025, and will become a standard feature on Jan 1, 2026. The integration is designed to bridge specimen grossing with digital pathology workflows for improved diagnostic accuracy and efficiency.
“This next phase of our partnership with Lumea reinforces Mopec’s commitment to driving innovation that directly benefits patients and laboratory professionals,” says Francis X Dirksmeier, CEO at Mopec Group, in a release. “By integrating Lumea’s technology into the Maestro Encore, we are delivering a solution that empowers laboratories to achieve greater accuracy, efficiency, and consistency in diagnosis.”
Exclusive Consumables Supply Agreement
As part of the expanded partnership, Mopec will serve as the exclusive supplier of Lumea consumable products, which will be available through Mopec’s website and distributor channels. The pre-analytical tissue-handling devices are designed to preserve tissue quality and increase tissue yield.
- BxBoard: A tissue collection and transport device that replaces formaldehyde bottles, designed to simplify workflows for surgery centers and laboratory staff while improving tissue quality. Available in multiple configurations.
- BxChip: A biomimetic organic polymer chip that securely holds and preserves up to six needle-core biopsies in consistent orientation. The chip ensures optimal tissue presentation and reduces the risk of tissue loss.
“We are thrilled to be the exclusive supplier of these consumables,” says Jeff Pemberton, vice president of marketing and commercial strategy at Mopec, in a release. “Together, Mopec and Lumea are equipping labs with the tools they need to ensure consistency, reliability, and patient-focused outcomes.”
