Virtual Staining, Your Way: Cloud or On-Premises

Traditional staining consumes tissue with every iteration. Pictor Labs preserves tissue while expanding insight.

Pictor Labs innovative technologies replaces chemical staining with non-destructive virtual staining.

Pictor Virtual Stains are designed to improve turnaround time, expand capacity, and reduce reliance on physical staining without forcing changes to your lab infrastructure.

Choose the deployment model that fits your environment, while maintaining consistent performance across studies and workflows.

Match deployment to your workflow, scale, and research environment

From centralized research cores to distributed study teams, both deployment options support high-volume image processing and flexible integration into existing workflows.

On-Premises

Local

Organizations requiring full control over their data, operating in controlled environments, or integrating with existing imaging pipelines.

Choose this if you need
  • Local processing to support time-sensitive study workflows
  • Full control over data handling and system environment
  • Integration into existing imaging, analysis, or data infrastructure
  • Consistent performance in restricted or high-security environments

Cloud

Hosted

Teams scaling studies, collaborating across sites, or minimizing infrastructure overhead

Choose this if you need
  • Elastic processing capacity as datasets and study scope expand
  • No requirement for local GPU infrastructure
  • Rapid deployment across teams or locations
  • Centralized access for distributed research workflows

Same virtual staining engine. Designed to fit how your team works.

Built to support high-volume study and imaging workflows.

Infrastructure requirements
  • Dedicated on-premise server or GPU-enabled workstation
  • Network integration with scanner or image management system
  • IT support for installation, updates, and monitoring
  • Secure internet connection
  • Image upload integration (manual upload or API integration)
  • No local GPU hardware required
Data storage
Data storage

Input images, intermediate outputs, and generated virtual stains remain within a local network and storage systems. No image data leaves the customer environment.

Images are processed using flexible storage options, including Pictor-managed cloud, customer-managed cloud, or local environments. Data retention, storage location, and encryption standards are defined by the agreed service policy.
