Definiens,
the global leader in Tissue Phenomics® for oncology diagnostics, today
announced the newest version of its leading image analysis software for
quantitative digital pathology, Tissue Studio 4.0. The new release
provides greater flexibility, more accurate and consistent results, and
the ability to use any chromogen for single and dual stain
immunohistochemistry (IHC) quantification.
For scientists performing research and discovery and preclinical
studies, Tissue Studio opens up new dimensions in tissue quantification.
By providing morphological fingerprints and biomarker expression
profiles on a cell-by-cell basis, it enables comprehensive and
consistent data for any tissue based assay. Unlike products that can
only support simple tasks, Tissue Studio is able to handle biological
variation and staining heterogeneity.
New features and benefits of Tissue Studio include:
-
Flexible Choice of Chromogen for Both Single & Dual Stain
Quantification – Scientists performing tissue analysis where
various cell types and cell subtypes need to be identified with
respect to one another can now utilize two IHC stains with any
chromogen to detect and quantify different cell populations.
-
Future-Proof Performance & Scalability – Easily adjust to
changing tissue analysis performance needs with customizable
configurations and add-ons for interactive data review, quality
control, and data mining.
-
Accurate and Consistent Results – Complement visual assessments
with detailed quantitative measurements for novel insights in tissue
based discovery and better go/no-go decisions in preclinical
development.
-
Productivity Gains – Utilize powerful machine learning to
reduce preclinical safety and toxicity study lengths from weeks to
days by automating routine analysis tasks.
-
Flexibility – Analyze brightfield or fluorescence images in
whole slide or tissue microarray formats. Utilize native image file
formats from most digital whole slide scanners, as well as generic
file formats, so that you can standardize on one image analysis
platform.
-
Ease of Use – Develop a customized image analysis solution in
about 20 minutes, even without previous image analysis or programming
experience. Configure robust solutions for different assays with an
intuitive user interface.
“Today’s researchers are facing complex challenges and we’re committed
to helping them achieve greater results in less time,” said Thomas
Heydler, CEO of Definiens. "The improvements we’re bringing are in
response to the needs of our customers and the industry. Tissue Studio
is a comprehensive solution that is easy to use without any prior
experience with image analysis or programming, enables customizable,
scalable configurations to meet changing needs, and provides significant
flexibility for users. With the highest level of productivity and a
dedicated support team, Tissue Studio helps our customers succeed in
their research goals."
