OnQ
currently distributes a wide range of laboratory and life sciences software on
behalf of leading healthcare IT providers. PathXL’s comprehensive range of digital pathology
software applications will bring something new and complementary to OnQ’s portfolio.
PathXL has developed products and workflows to address a wide range of digital
pathology needs across research, education and clinical - including Routine Diagnostic Reporting, Resident
Training, Frozen Sections, Remote Reporting, Image Analysis, Quality Assurance and Biobank Sample Management.

molecular analysis.
PathXL’s software enables users to upload, archive, search,
share, collaborate, educate, analyse, score and report on huge volumes of
pathology data. PathXL has been designed to coexist
with a wide range of other applications. Its open and modular
architecture, use of standards, adoption of best-in-class open source
components helps to integrate PathXL easily with other applications so that
users can enjoy the benefits of digital pathology as part of their existing
workflows. As a web based platform,
PathXL can be deployed locally on a customer site or provided as a managed hosted
service in the cloud, enabling clients to experience the value of remote digital
pathology, without the overhead of managing their own platform or the need for
major capital outlay or deployed onsite.
