Fusion of spectrally unmixed image tiles from PerkinElmer® Vectra™ 3 or Polaris™ into whole slide TIFs to enable analysis of the tumor microenvironment
25 Sept 2019In this study, Indica Labs describes a tiling method using HALO® which converts image tiles captured using the PerkinElmer Vectra 3 or Polaris platform into pyramidal, whole-slide images that are spectrally unmixed and amendable to annotation and analysis. The method is validated by comparing cell-based image analysis results from individual tiles to the fused whole-slide image. Finally, the spatial distribution of immune cells in these whole-slide images within the tumor core and at the invasive margin is analyzed using a novel infiltration analysis tool.

Cell / Tissue CultureCell culture or tissue culture is used to study the biology of cells or tissues and to isolate cellular products in an environment which can be manipulated and well defined. Accurately control your culture environment with bioreactors or culture incubators, bind your cells to a surface or together with an extracellular matrix. Distinguish cell types with differential media or proliferate cells with certain characteristics using selective media. Enrich your media with supplements such as growth factors, sera and vitamins.
