KFBIO Showcases the New PRX Scanner at the 35th Brazilian Congress of Pathology

KFBIO successfully participated in the 35th Brazilian Congress of Pathology (35º Congresso Brasileiro de Patologia) and the 28th Brazilian Congress of Cytopathology, held from August 12 to 15, 2026, in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil.

During the four-day congress, KFBIO joined its Brazilian partner, Grupo Erviegas, to showcase its latest digital pathology and AI solutions.

The event brought together pathologists, laboratory professionals, and healthcare professionals from across Brazil. It also provided an important opportunity to discuss the future of digital pathology and explore new technologies for pathology workflows.

Strong Interest in the New KFBIO PRX Scanner

One of the key highlights of the exhibition was the new KFBIO PRX digital pathology scanner.

Throughout the congress, the PRX attracted strong interest from pathologists and laboratory professionals. Visitors explored the new scanner and discussed its capabilities with the KFBIO and Grupo Erviegas teams.

They also learned how high-performance slide scanning can support daily pathology workflows.

In addition, the strong response from the pathology community was highlighted by Carlos Barrionuevo Junior, Business Development Director at Grupo Erviegas.

“We were extremely pleased with the strong interest shown by pathologists in the PRX. The level of enthusiasm and curiosity around the scanner was remarkable. We are also very proud that, during the congress, one hospital has already placed an order for a PRX scanner. This is a strong indication of the confidence that pathology professionals are placing in this new generation of digital pathology technology,” said Carlos Barrionuevo Junior.

The positive feedback received during the congress also reflected the growing interest in advanced digital pathology solutions in Brazil.

At the same time, it highlighted the potential of the KFBIO PRX scanner to support the next generation of pathology workflows.

Listening to Pathologists and Understanding Real Workflow Needs

The congress was not only an opportunity to showcase new technology.

More importantly, it allowed KFBIO and Grupo Erviegas to engage directly with pathology professionals and better understand their daily needs.

Throughout the event, the teams discussed a wide range of topics with visitors. These included:

• Digital pathology workflows
• Scanning efficiency
• Image quality
• Digital slide management
• Diagnostic review
• Remote collaboration
• The growing role of artificial intelligence in pathology

These conversations provided valuable feedback from pathology professionals and laboratories across Brazil.

They also helped the teams better understand the challenges and expectations facing modern pathology laboratories.

For KFBIO, continuous innovation is about more than developing advanced technology.

It is also about understanding how pathologists work every day. This understanding helps KFBIO develop solutions that can bring practical value to real-world pathology workflows.

The KFBIO PRX represents another important step in this direction. It delivers high-performance scanning as part of a broader digital pathology workflow.

KFBIO and Grupo Erviegas: Combining Technology with Local Expertise

The congress also highlighted the value of the long-term partnership between KFBIO and Grupo Erviegas in Brazil.

KFBIO brings digital pathology technology, product development capabilities, and technical expertise.

Meanwhile, Grupo Erviegas contributes strong local market knowledge, professional customer support, and a deep understanding of the needs of pathology laboratories in Brazil.

This combination is particularly important for the successful implementation of digital pathology.

Digital transformation involves more than installing a pathology slide scanner.

Laboratories also need to consider their existing workflows, user requirements, technical support, and long-term development.

Therefore, successful implementation requires close collaboration between technology providers, local partners, and pathology professionals.

During the congress, the KFBIO and Grupo Erviegas teams worked closely together. They demonstrated the technology, answered questions, listened to customer needs, and explored new opportunities for digital pathology in Brazil.

Looking Ahead

The 35th Brazilian Congress of Pathology marked another important milestone for KFBIO and Grupo Erviegas in the Brazilian market.

The strong interest in the KFBIO PRX scanner, valuable feedback from pathology professionals, and close cooperation between the two teams created a strong foundation for the next stage of development.

As digital pathology continues to evolve, KFBIO looks forward to strengthening its collaboration with Grupo Erviegas and pathology professionals across Brazil.

Together, the teams aim to bring advanced digital pathology technologies to more laboratories.

Ultimately, the goal is to make digital pathology more accessible, efficient, and valuable for everyday clinical practice.
