ASI Launches GenASIs Go-Path - Computerized Immunohistochemistry Cancer Analysis Aid

7 Jan 2013

Product news

Applied Spectral Imaging (ASI) has announced the launch of GenASIs Go-Path, a computer aided membrane and nuclear immunohistochemistry imaging and analysis platform.

GenASIs Go-Path introduces major enhancements to ASI’s newly introduced GenASIs 7.2 imaging and analysis platforms, positioning ASI as a leader in computer aided pathology immunohistochemistry analysis for cancer and other IHC applications. Go-Path includes unparalleled accuracy and efficiency in computer aided immunohistochemistry imaging and analysis.

“Go-Path computerized IHC scoring-aid, our flagship offering, coupled with our advanced FISH imaging and analysis solutions, further establish ASI as a leader in automated and interactive pathology and cytogenetic imaging and analysis solutions. We are excited to add Quantitative IHC pathology imaging and analysis, along with other important enhancements, to our leading platform – GenASIs 7.2. This new platform is in line with our strategy to offer clinicians and researchers the most advanced, efficient and accurate instruments supporting advancements in computer-aided analysis for personalized medicine, companion diagnostics, cancer research, diagnostic and other pathology and cytogenetic applications,” said Limor Shiposh, CEO of Applied Spectral Imaging. Limor added: “Combining IHC, FISH and cytogenetic imaging and analysis adds real value to our customers. We are committed to making patient care better and more affordable through advanced biomedical imaging.”

GenASIs Go-Path introduces, for the first time, ASI’s innovative “Point-of-View” pathology imaging and analysis. The Go-Path instrument allows users to adopt a “Point-Acquire-Score” workflow. Users simply target a cancer region under the microscope, hit a button to capture an image and automatically receive a computer generated scoring map to aid in scoring. Go-Path makes IHC scoring quick, accurate and repeatable, enhancing the quality and consistency of the results. Go-Path is not FDA cleared for clinical use and is to be used for research only.

Gas ChromatographyGas chromatography (GC) is an analytical technique used to separate and quantitate mixtures of small and volatile compounds. Gas chromatographs or GC systems include components such as GC columns, detectors, pumps and autosamplers. Choose from packed or capillary GC columns, flame ionization (FID), photoionization (PID) electron capture detectors and selective or non-selective detectors. Find the best gas chromatographs in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.MicroplatesMicroplates are multi-well plates used to increase the throughput of biological investigations. The number of wells microplates contain can range from 6 to 3243 wells, with the 96-well format being the most commonly used. Microplates can come tailored for a range of applications including cell culture, PCR, filtration, storage, non-binding surface, protein crystallization, as well as pre-coated, deep well and normal Standard microplates. Additionally, options for microplate colors include clear , black, white or black with clear bottom and white with clear bottom for absorbance microplate reader applications.

Sample preparation and processing includes fixation, staining, sectioning and slide mounting, using equipment such microtomes and cryostats. In choosing immunohistochemistry and immunocytochemistry kits, consider chromogens, staining method, antibodies, microscopes and imaging.Clinical ChemistryBiochemistry (or clinical chemistry) involves the analysis of bodily fluids using chemical tests. Techniques used include HPLC, chromatography, spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, immunochemical, electrophoresis, turbidometric / spectrophotometric assay, MRI and ISE analysis. Tests are often carried out on plasma or serum but urine (urinalysis) and fecal specimens are also processed.Clinical GeneticsMolecular Genetics covers the analysis of hereditary genetic disease and chromosomal abnormalities. Genetics can be analysed using DNA, RNA, and protein microarrays, PCR, RT PCR and DNA sequencing. Genetic equipment includes genetic workstations, thermal cyclers, cooling blocks and electrophoresis products. Diagnostic kits are used for DNA / RNA extraction and purification.ImmunohistochemistryImmunohistochemistry (IHC) is a technique used to detect specific proteins in tissue samples by using antibodies that bind to target antigens. IHC is widely applied in pathology, immunology, hematology and cancer diagnostics. Explore IHC tools in our peer-reviewed product directory; compare products, check reviews, and get pricing directly from manufacturers.Cancer DiagnosticsThere are a wide variety of diagnostic tests for cancer available, and this range continues to expand as our knowledge of cancer improves. Current diagnostic methods include biopsy, imaging and blood tests for known biomarkers. New methods in research development include liquid biopsies and cancer breathalyzers.FISHCancer ResearchAlthough cancer is often referred to as a single condition, it actually consists of more than 100 different diseases. Microscopy, mass spectrometry, high throughput sequencing and flow cytometry are some of the most common techniques employed in cancer research labs.Image AnalysisImage analysis involves the extraction of meaningful information from images, often using software to quantify and interpret visual data. It is widely used in cell biology, material science, and diagnostics. Increasingly, AI is being used to streamline image analysis.
