Since 1986 MetaSystems has been designing and manufacturing systems for computerized automated microscopic imaging. From the very beginning, the close relationship to the end user has been an essential part of the MetaSystems philosophy. The following three decades have revealed that this was a successful strategy; from humble beginnings, MetaSystems has grown into a leading solution provider which still remains connected to its strong roots.
MetaSystems’ latest innovation, Neon, is a dynamic, modern imaging platform which reliably manages cases, images, and results from single workstation environments to large multi-user, multi-site installations. The Neon imaging platform ensures that all relevant information is accessible whenever needed.
Maybe you can find a solution to your imaging automation problem here on this web site. We recommend starting your journey on the application pages, if you are not familiar with our product portfolio. In case you are, it may be easier to go directly to the page for the product you actually look for. Should you feel lost, please feel free to contact us or the MetaSystems partner in your country.
We believe in communication being the first step towards innovative solutions!
Non-hematopoietic circulating rare cells (CRCs) mainly consist of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and circulating endothelial cells (CECs). Clinical relevance of CECs in tumor angiogenesis1 and CTCs in tumor metastasis [...] have been substantially discussed elsewhere. [...] In the present report, we extended our previous prototyping study to significantly improve the unique strength of SE-iFISH, which was developed to combine in situ phenotypic identification of tumor biomarker and karyotypic characterization of chromosome ploidy in CRCs enriched from patient biofluids (blood, bone marrow, ascites, malignant pleural effusion, and cerebrospinal fluids, etc.) [...]. [...] Metafer-iFISH®, an automated CRC scanning and image analysis system, was recently co-developed by Carl Zeiss (Oberkochen, Germany), MetaSystems (Altlussheim, Germany) and Cytelligen (San Diego, CA, USA) [...]. High through-put X-Y-Z 3-dimensional slide scanning, image acquisition, processing, classification of CRC subtypes, and statistical analyses of each subcategory of the target cells could be fully automatically performed by Metafer-iFISH upon cell size, cell cluster, quantified chromosome ploidy, and immunofluorescence staining intensity of multi-tumor biomarkers expression displayed in diverse fluorescence channels, avoiding interference from human error or bias. [...] The novel SE-iFISH provides a unique strategy for expeditious and effective enrichment, in situ phenotypic as well as karyotypic co-detection of various non-hematopoietic CRCs in cancer patients or metastatic mouse model of patient derived xenograft (mPDX)33, which allows for classification of CTCs and CECs into diverse subtypes upon biomarker expression as well as chromosome ploidy, and each subtype of CRCs may correlate with distinct clinical outcome, such as tumor angiogenesis, cancer metastasis, relapse and therapeutic drug resistance [...].

As with all previous ICRR International Congresses, ICRR 2019 provides a broad dialogue platform for those working within radiation research and related fields. The scientific programme will be designed to engage researchers across all disciplines and to facilitate the development of multidisciplinary collaboration and interaction.
The Congress 'Genetics of XXI Century' in Moscow, Russia (May 2019) has been one of the most important events for the professional international community of geneticists. Our partner company in Russia OOO MetaSystems considered it a good occasion to present the new camera CoolCube 4 connected to a state-of-the-art Neon system to the public.
N.N.Burdenko National Scientific and Practical Center for Neurosurgery is one of the first MetaSystems’ customers in Russia who implemented FISH on tissues into their daily practice ( in the late 90ies). Our partner in Russia, OOO MetaSystems therefore provides comprehensive support of all initiatives shown by the head of pathology lab and its staff.
