Automation of Fluorescent Dot Counting in Cell Nuclei
We have developed a completely automated fluorescence microscope system that can examine 500 cells in approximately 20 minutes to determine the number of labeled chromosomes (seen as dots) in each cell nucleus. This system works with two fluorescent dyes – one for the DNA hybridization dots (e.g. FITC) and one for the cell nucleus (e.g. DAPI). After the stage has moved to a new field the image ...
متن کاملFISH and chips: automation of fluorescent dot counting in interphase cell nuclei.
Fluorescence in situ hybridization allows the enumeration of chromosomal abnormalities in interphase cell nuclei. This process is called dot counting. To estimate the distribution of chromosomes per cell, a large number of cells have to be analyzed, especially when the frequency of aberrant cells is low. Automation of dot counting is required because manual counting is tedious, fatiguing, and t...
متن کاملImplementing Workflow Automation Systems: Implications for Management Control
Automation has revolutionised industry and initiated profound economic change. In the past two decades, manufacturing productivity has seen substantial improvements, yet office productivity has remained practically unaffected. Workflow Automation Systems, a new class of system which focus on automating document flows, promises to redress this imbalance. This study looks at the implication of ad...
متن کاملAutomation and Expert Systems in a Core Clinical Chemistry Laboratory
Clinical pathology has a major influence on clinical decisions and the past 60 years have seen an evolution brought about by advances in information technology and automation. The impact of the everchanging technology in regard to responsibilities and training therefore needs continual appraisal. In this article, the authors have drawn on their experience on automation in clinical chemistry and...
متن کاملAutomation in clinical microbiology.
Historically, the trend toward automation in clinical pathology laboratories has largely bypassed the clinical microbiology laboratory. In this article, we review the historical impediments to automation in the microbiology laboratory and offer insight into the reasons why we believe that we are on the cusp of a dramatic change that will sweep a wave of automation into clinical microbiology lab...
