Clinical Cytogenetics
With the responsibility for patients on one hand, growing demand and increasing costs on the other, many cytogenetic labs find themselves pulled between these two extremes. But with automation of the tedious, yet critical image analysis, Metafer takes the pressure off and helps to maintain, or even increase, the quality standards with a much shorter case turnaround time.Read more...

Toxicology, Mutation Research, and Radiation Biology
The estimation of DNA damage can be tedious and time consuming. In many cases the expected effects are low, and large samples have to be scored to achieve statistically relevant data. Therefore automation of scoring and proper documentation of results are important factors for the quality of studies in this field. MetaSystems offers a bundle of tools specially designed for automatic evaluation of large samples for mutagenicity testing endpoints, all based on the multipurpose scanning platform Metafer. The Metafer scanning platform allows for automated and unattended analysis of the Comet assay, both the in-vivo and the in-vitro micronucleus test, chromosomal aberrations, and histone foci.Read more...

Pathology and Virtual Slides
Advances in computer and software technology have opened new possibilities of slide analysis in pathology. Today it is possible to completely digitize slides and to analyze them ‘offline’. With MetaSystems software fully functional, high quality ‘virtual slides’ can be created and inspected on any workstation nearby or through the net. Images can include focus stacks, various color channels, annotations, and many other details that help for analysis.Read more...
