CorePlus Puerto Rico Publishes Groundbreaking Study on Implementing 100% Quality Control in Cervical Cytology Using Whole Slide Imaging and Artificial Intelligence
Revolutionizing Cytology with AI and Digital Pathology
As digital pathology continues to advance into the field of cytopathology, laboratories are exploring alternatives to traditional manual microscopy screening. CorePlus evaluated the performance of the Techcyte SureView™ system—specifically designed for digital cytopathology—on 1,442 digitized slides from ThinPrep® and SurePath™ cervical cytology samples.
The slides were scanned using the 3DHISTECH P1000 DX scanner under both dry and water immersion scanning profiles. A board-certified cytopathologist reviewed AI-identified objects of interest and compared them to results obtained through traditional light microscopy.
Outstanding Results and Operational Efficiency
The study demonstrated that the SureView™ system using the water immersion profile significantly outperformed both dry scanning and manual microscopy in detecting squamous and glandular abnormalities. Key performance metrics included:
97% accuracy
82% sensitivity
99% specificity
98% negative predictive value
86% positive predictive value
In addition to its high diagnostic performance, the AI-assisted system considerably reduced review times and improved overall workflow efficiency.
A New Standard for Quality Control in Cervical Cytology
Following successful validation, CorePlus has fully integrated the Techcyte SureView™ system as a 100% QC tool in its laboratory operations. This marks a major step forward in adopting digital and AI technologies to enhance diagnostic accuracy, laboratory efficiency, and patient care.
'We have been able to achieve an unprecedented level of consistency and confidence in cervical cytology screening, every PAP Counts!' Mariano de Socarraz, Founder and Chief Executive Officer at CorePlus. 'Our team is proud to contribute to the advancement of digital pathology and demonstrate its real-world clinical impact.'

Spanish Government Delegation Visits Desay SV Intelligent Factory
LINARES, Spain, July 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — In a remarkable week for industrial development in southern Spain, Desay SV welcomed two delegations from the Spanish Government to the new intelligent factory site in Linares. These visits underscore the strategic importance of the Desay SV project as a pillar of reindustrialization in Andalusia — revitalizing the region's economy, generating quality employment, and establishing Linares as a new center for smart mobility and high-tech manufacturing. Spain has long held a key position in the global automotive sector. In July 2024, Desay SV officially broke ground on its intelligent factory in Linares, Andalusia, marking a significant milestone in the company's strategy for international expansion. The factory is scheduled for completion by the end of 2025, with mass production starting in 2026. It aims to manufacture 1.5 million automotive displays annually by 2028, delivering cutting-edge cabin and driving assistance technologies to global clients. – Boosting Local Industry and Employment – On June 24, 2025, Juanma Moreno, President of Andalusia, visited the Santana Science and Technology Park to observe construction progress. He praised Desay SV for bringing the 'most powerful' automotive touchscreens to the market and emphasized the company's role in rebuilding the local automotive ecosystem. Juanma Moreno noted that the Desay SV intelligent factory project represents a major Chinese investment, and that the project will create a value chain ecosystem that will boost the economic development of the region. The project will serve as a successful example of industrial revitalization 14 years after the closure of Santana Motor. When discussing future support measures, he mentioned plans to strengthen the role of Andalusia's key automotive hub by offering additional regional incentives and administrative support for companies in the park, including Desay SV. – A Strategic National Initiative – Two days later, on June 26, Jordi Hereu, Spain's Minister of Industry and Tourism, toured the site and reinforced central government backing. The Spanish government has allocated €5.5 million to Desay SV through PERTE VEC III to support sustainable transportation and industrial modernization. Minister Jordi Hereu described the project as a 'strategic flagship initiative' for Spain's automotive transformation. 'After decades of deindustrialization in Europe, Spain and Andalusia are now entering a new industrial era,' he said. 'This project represents our great cooperation with Chinese companies and our shared ambition to lead the future of mobility together.' Against the backdrop of international instability, Desay SV is actively deepening its localization strategy, establishing a presence in markets including Europe, Japan and Southeast Asia, while continuously strengthening its regional service networks. The Spanish intelligent factory project is a key initiative for Desay SV to position itself within the global automotive supply chain, offering competitive innovative products and highly efficient services.

Pioneering seaweed harvest takes place in North Sea
THE HAGUE, Netherlands , July 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Seaweed farmers have made the first-ever harvest at North Sea Farm 1, the world's first commercial-scale seaweed farm located in a field of wind turbines off the coast of Scheveningen in the Netherlands. The farm was created by North Sea Farmers with €2 million funding from Amazon's Right Now Climate Fund. The harvest provides valuable insights to researchers looking into how seaweed farms could remove carbon from the atmosphere, contributing to climate resilience, and how to scale the cultivation of seaweed globally. Seaweed farms could also promote biodiversity and reduce agricultural pressure on land. 'The inaugural harvest of North Sea Farm 1 is a significant moment,' said Eva Faict, Amazon Netherlands and Belgium country manager. 'Together with North Sea Farmers, we have proven that cultivated seaweed farming among offshore wind turbines is a viable commercial concept.' By locating the farm between offshore wind turbines—a world first for a commercial-scale seaweed farm—North Sea Farmers found a way of securing physical space for the farm away from maritime traffic. 'Through ongoing scientific research, we aim to demonstrate whether farms like this can have a positive long-term impact on both biodiversity and climate change mitigation,' said Eef Brouwers, Managing Director of North Sea Farmers. 'At the same time, we're proving that seaweed production within an existing offshore infrastructure is possible at a commercial scale.' The harvesting process at North Sea Farm 1—spanning five hectares of the 'Hollandse Kust Zuid' wind farm—involves the use of a vessel carefully navigating between wind turbines, collecting seaweed from nets anchored to the seabed. Plymouth Marine Laboratory , Deltares and Silvestrum Climate Associates have been monitoring the farm using satellite data, as well as site visits, to understand upper scaling limits for future projects. Professor Ana M Queirós, Plymouth Marine Laboratory's Climate Change Lead, said: 'We're very excited to understand the effects of the seaweed farm on the immediate and surrounding marine environment. Our analysis will follow the carbon from the seawater into the seaweed and the environment, and any effects on biodiversity. 'It's vital projects like this are underpinned with rigorous scientific evidence, particularly given the urgency of the climate and biodiversity crisis and the need to find scalable mitigation measures that produce genuinely beneficial and sustainable outcomes.'
