Slide Analysis
What we do
Our team of analysts score a range of cell types for chromosome aberrations and other types of cytogenetic endpoints.
How and when our analysis service can help:
- Meeting tight deadlines or reducing a backlog of slides.
- Giving laboratories the opportunity to offer slide analysis when there are no trained cytogeneticists in-house, on a temporary (while staff are being trained) or more permanent basis.
- Verifying the scoring of new trainees by splitting the analysis for comparison of aberration levels.
Logistics
Courier transport of slides is rapid and reliable. As soon as the analysis is complete, data sheets are scanned and emailed to the client. With 6 analysts in total, very fast turn-around times can be achieved, as we often have the flexibility to schedule in analysis at short notice.
Our USP
- Part of the preparation before we perform analysis for a new client includes ensuring that we will be conforming to how the analysis is carried out and recorded in your laboratory.
- Experience of more than two decades with more than 50 laboratories means that we know the questions to ask, and this information is recorded on a form supplied to all our analysts.
- For laboratories new to the tests we provide a default scheme which conforms to international standards and a standard raw data sheet template.
