BIOVIEW ALLEGRO PLUS SCANNING STATION
The ALLEGRO™ is a fully automatic fluorescent imaging system, which includes motorized 8 slides stage, optional hand held barcode reader, and sophisticated software for automatically scanning and sorting hematopoietic cells, amniocytes, cells from voided urine samples, sperm cells, metaphases and tissues under fluorescent illumination by Fluorescence in-situ Hybridization (FISH) technique. The ALLEGRO PLUS accomplishes fast and accurate spot counting and identifying of chromosomal aberrations such as translocations, inversions and deletions. When adding optional bright- light illumination the cells can be classified according to their morphology or IHC staining.
HIGH THROUGHPUT, FULLY AUTOMATIC FLUORESCENT SCANNER
- Fully unattended operation of batches of 8 slides
- Optional hand-held barcode reader for automatic definition/identification of scanned slides and demographic data input
- Scanning and classification of hundreds of cells in minutes under fluorescent illumination.
- Fully automated FISH spot counting for all commercial and home-brewed probes in cells and tissue. Definition of new probe is fast and easy. Unexpected FISH patterns are identified and may be defined after the scan
- Capable of fast scanning multiprobe panel set on one slide
- Fast detection of rare cells according to FISH pattern
- Sophisticated image analysis, enhancement and annotation tools.
- Statistical results are summarized and graphically displayed online.
- Custom Report generation
- Research mode – view FISH image and its corresponding parameters within the same window.
Bright field illumination option:
· Fully automated fast scanning of the morphology of cells and tissue sections with varied staining.
· Automated scanning of Immuno-cytochemical stained cells and tissue sections.
· Target FISH (T-FISH) -Automatically combines bright field and fluorescent image on the same cell, for all cells. View cell morphology and fluorescent image on each cell, side by side
· Fast detection of rare cells according to morphology and/or T-FISH.
