Neon is the brand new system for cytogenetic case and image data organization. Elaborated data management strategies, several convenient display modes, and many options for selecting and filtering content make Neon the perfect basis to organize large quantities of heterogeneous information.

Metafer, Ikaros, and Isis are the systems of choice for innovative, efficient, and fast analysis of human, plant, and animal samples. Trainable chromosome classifiers, a large
number of pre-defined karyogram forms for various species,and the innovative karyogram  editor make the system ready to be used with samples from numerous species.

DMI (Direct Multiplex Imaging) is the combination of a novel DNA-based multiplex hybridization technology and automatic imaging. DMI enables fast, specific and reproducible identification of multiple pathogenic microorganisms directly from samples without an additional culture, providing the necessary information for timely
decisions and a targeted antibiotic therapy.

MetaSystems has designed a system of hybridization and imaging tools to be integrated in the routine workflow of the pathology lab. Core of this system is the combination of dedicated DNA probes for tissue sections with the innovative platform Neon Metafer, a flexible and robust slide scanning system with many options.

Standardization is a highly important goal in the design of pre-clinical toxicology tests. The slide scanning platform Metafer has proven to be the most versatile and reliable tool to automate the analysis of OECD compliant tests like the erythrocyte micronucleus test (#474,1997), the in vitro micronucleus test (#487, 2004), the in vivo mammalian alkaline Comet assay (#489, 2014), and the chromosome aberration test (#473, 1997).

Metafer is a highly versatile slide scanning platform, which bears many advantages for the setup of high-throughput routine Comet assay workflows.

Circulating Tumor Cells (CTCs) are cancer cells shed from primary or metastatic solid tumors into peripheral blood. Enumeration and characterization of these rare cells holds promise as a non-invasive means of detecting, diagnosing, and monitoring cancers. The Cytelligen SE-i•FISH® kit uses an unbiased approach called subtraction enrichment (SE), which combines non-haemolytic removal of red blood cells and immuno-magnetic removal of white blood cells to enrich for CTCs. The Metafer CTC Application was developed to detect CTCs processed by SE-i•FISH®, and analyze these within a clinically relevant time frame.

The slide scanning platform Metafer of MetaSystems has been acknowledged as the most reliable, and the fastest system to automate scoring of dicentric chromosomes, micronuclei, and foci in biodosimetry assays. Due to its flexible architecture, Metafer analyzes samples of all assays on the same hardware platform.

The compelling diversity of diatoms, but also their importance for environmental monitoring makes it desirable to have an automated, simple, and fast solution for imaging and archiving of diatom samples. Since diatoms have a distinct three dimensional structure, imaging at high magnifications should also involve the acquisition of focus stacks.
