1 Invitation Workshop «Smart Workflows in Cytogenetics and Pathology» Zurich September 7th, 2016

2 Dear Madam or Sir, We invite you to our Workshop «Smart Workflows in Cytogenetics and Pathology» Zurich September 7th, 2016 Automated imaging has become routine in clinical cytogenetics and pathology. However, automated devices are often single purpose solutions that cannot be adapted to other tasks. MetaSystems GmbH, renowned manufacturer of microscopic imaging systems since more than 30 years, took a different path when developing its slide scanning platform Metafer. By choosing the high-end microscope ZEISS Axio Imager.Z2 as imaging basis of the system, MetaSystems has combined reliability and ease of use with maximum flexibility. Today, Metafer is one of the most widespread and recognized platforms for workflow automation in cytogenetics and pathology. The scope of this workshop is giving you the opportunity to learn more about the benefits of automated, yet flexible imaging in your laboratory: Neon, the new foundation of all MetaSystems products, and the many possibilities it offers to manage imaging cases. Neon is open for any application, and can easily be individualized. Pathologists benefit from Neon as well as cytogeneticists, oncologists, hematologists and many more. Whichever workflow is used, Neon collects all data and integrates them in one single case file. Reports, statistics, and data import and export can be used and adjusted individually to match the required degree of automation. Rapid Scoring, a new method of analyzing FISH signals combining manual scoring strategies with the advantages of automated scoring, uses Metafer MetaCyte to automatically pre-score cell signal patterns. Immediately after the scan technicians can begin categorizing cells. An initially empty scoring sheet dynamically displays the manual results while the categorization is proceeding. Extremely smart workflows for pathology are supported by MetaSystems solutions. Automated overview scans, for example generate high-quality images from H&E and FISH stained consecutive tissue sections. Imaging of FISH signals is done automatically within defined target areas that have been previously outlined by the pathologist in the corresponding H&E image. We invite you to reserve a slot at the workshop and also to bring your own samples from your daily routine. Experience digitization of your own pathology slides or do Rapid Scoring with your FISH samples. We are looking forward to welcoming you! Your teams from MetaSystems and ZEISS Microscopy
