Headquartered in Seattle, Washington, Amnis Corporation has created the ImageStream®
Cell Analysis System, a breakthrough technology for high speed imaging and analysis
of cells in flow. The system is a next generation instrument that combines the
power of microscopy and flow cytometry in a single platform to advance applications
in drug discovery, basic biomedical research and diagnostics. The ImageStream®
makes it possible to gather detailed quantitative morphologic and fluorescence
information from tens of thousands of cells in a single experiment and use that
information to define and analyze cell subpopulations. The system enables advanced
applications in apoptosis, nuclear translocation of transcription factors such
as NFkB, co-localization of cell surface markers and intracellular molecules,
automated morphologic cell classification and many others. |

| MetaSystems
AG (Germany) specialises in automated scanning and image analysis for cytogenetics,
cancer genetics and other applications. Founded in 1986 as a spin-off from the
Institute of Applied Physics at the University of Heidelberg, the company started
with the development of an automatic metaphase finding system. The first Metafer
system was sold and installed in 1987. Since the introduction of the karyotyping
system Ikaros in 1991, a product addressing a wider market, MetaSystems grew dynamically
and established its position as a leading supplier of cytogenetic imaging solutions.
Today, more than 2,000 MetaSystems products are installed in more than 500 laboratories
all over the world. |
