Autodisector ^TM

AutodisectorTM is an add-on module to newCASTTM, which makes it possible to work fast and efficiently with the physical fractionator principle by automatically aligning two adjacent sections. The patented AutodisectorTM technology is tissue independent and provides perfectly matched disector pairs on any kind of tissue at any magnification.

The tradional optical disector requires thick, transparent, tissue sections (about 25 microns after tissue preparation). This introduces practical problems such as tissue shrinkage and lack of antibody penetration. The use of thin tissue sections facilitated by the efficient AutodisectorTM effectively eliminates these issues.

The control of multi-slide stages and slide-loaders allows for unattended imaging ranging from a single pair of sections to an entire study.

Disector pairs are stored in the system database and can be loaded into newCASTTM for off-line counting. This makes it possible to stop and resume work at any time.

AutodisectorTM requires newCASTTM, VisiomorphTM and MicroimagerTM.
