These latest innovations reflect Instem's ongoing commitment to modernizing pathology workflows through advanced digitization and seamless integration.
Deep Digital Integration
Provantis Pathology now offers enhanced support for digital pathology, allowing users to move effortlessly between Provantis data entry and external applications or data sources. A key highlight is the new, seamless integration with PathcoreFlow™, the powerful digital slide management system from Instem's strategic partner, Pathcore ®.
This integration bridges study management and high-resolution digital slide review, resulting in a more connected, consistent, and efficient pathology workflow. The connection - and its time-saving benefits - is now available for pathologists to implement in their research.
'Digital pathology is no longer a niche - it's a vital foundation for faster, more reliable preclinical insights,' said Charuta Bapat, Director of Product - Study Management at Instem. 'With the latest updates to our Provantis Pathology module and the upcoming release of Provantis 12, we're delivering the most advanced tools designed to help pathologists work more efficiently and with greater confidence.'

'This is a huge step forward for our study management solutions, and we're excited to meet with Pathologists at STP to showcase everything Provantis can do.'
Instem's commitment to a more flexible, future-ready environment is further reinforced by Provantis' growing suite of APIs connecting to 19 different data domains. This includes enhanced Pathology APIs for smoother integration with digital platforms, along with Preclinical Libraries and Studies APIs to extend data interoperability.
Looking ahead in 2025, the upcoming Provantis 12 release will lay the groundwork for a new, non-GLP pathology solution. This module will enable more pathologists to integrate with the Provantis ecosystem - supporting protocol definition, necropsy, and reporting - and empowering pathology teams to work smarter and faster with minimal disruption.
Live Demonstrations at STP 2025
Instem's pathology team will be demonstrating these new features live at the STP Annual Symposium in Chicago, exploring:
New editing capabilities in the histopathology matrix, as part of the upcoming non-GLP pathology module.
A new integration in this module with smart glossaries for simplified terminology management.
How to get started with the Provantis and PathcoreFlow™ integration
These advancements are part of Instem's broader roadmap focused on efficiency, scalability, and comprehensive study support for your lab team.

KLEEN HY-DRO-GEN INC., Announces Launch of World's First Zero-Emissions Hydrogen Furnace

TORONTO, Aug. 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — KLEEN HY-DRO-GEN INC., has officially announced the launch of KLEENHEAT™ hydrogen furnace, the world's first and only on-demand, zero-emissions home heating system powered by water. The announcement comes ahead of the company's anticipated listing on the Canadian Securities Exchange (CSE) this September, marking a major milestone in its journey to bring sustainable, home-grown hydrogen solution to the global stage. Now in its third year of testing, KLEENHEAT™ has been operating in a model home designed to educate the public on hydrogen heating-a safer, cleaner, zero-emissions alternative to fossil fuels. The system generates hydrogen and oxygen from water using electrolysis, producing only water vapor as a byproduct. The system is designed for homeowners and manufacturers. With no gas storage, advanced safety features, and compatibility with existing HVAC and renewable systems, KLEENHEAT™ is efficient and secure. Users may also qualify for government rebates and carbon credits, contributing to long-term savings. Following a successful multi-year pilot trial in Ajax, Ontario, the company is preparing to expand into residential and commercial markets across Canada and beyond. Several units have already been tested, paving the way for broader rollout post-CSE listing. 'This is more than a launch, it's a vision for what the global heating industry will look like in the near future', says Thomas Fairfull, President, and CEO. 'We've developed a solution that doesn't just reduce emissions but eliminates them safely. Our focus is on sharing this innovation with the world and building partnerships that will bring KLEENHEAT™ into homes across the country.' Fairfull brings over 25 years of leadership in Canada's energy and tech sectors, previously named one of Ontario Business Report's Top 100 Entrepreneurs and an Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year finalist. Under his leadership, the company is scaling its impact and building partnerships to expand globally.
