Overview

System analyses cell features in single cell preparations and tissue sections, under fluorescent light conditions or in the bright field mode. Sophisticated image processing algorithms cope with poor slide conditions or weak signals.

Automatic spot counting and fusion detection, Precise quantization at high scanning speed, simultaneous analysis of up to 6 fluorochromes, High quality cell gallery for on screen review and cell relocation, comprehensive data presentation.

Applications

• Fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH), both for interphase nuclei and metaphase spreads. Signals are captured automatically using Metapher platform or manually.
• FDA approved for HER-2 gene amplification tests.
• Karyotyping both using conventional Giemsa stain or M-FISH.
• Measures chromosomal copy numbers via a technique termed comparative genomic hybridization (CGH).
