    摘要: Automated methods and devices that facilitate iterative staining of biological samples from imaging applications are provided. The methods include the steps of providing a small volume flow cell containing a biological sample, applying a stain to the biological sample, combining at least two precursor reagents to form an activated destaining agent and wherein the activated destaining agent decomposition rate is greater than or similar to the destaining reaction rate, flowing the destaining agent over the biological sample at a flow rate that is greater than the decomposition rate of the activated destaining agent, and releasing the sample from the flow cell wherein the integrity of the sample is intact. The process of staining, combining and flowing may be iteratively repeated. Also disclosed herein are devices for iterative staining of biological samples comprising a flow cell, in fluid communication with a premixer, wherein the volume capacity of the premixer is smaller than about five times the volume capacity of the flow cell.

    摘要: The present disclosure concerns a method and system for assessing image quality of sub-images used to form a composite image using an algorithm developed by applying statistical correlation techniques to historical data on features of sub-images which were manually evaluated by experts and using those assessment to make decisions about the further processing of the sub-images which are being assessed. The method and system find particular value in the processing of sub-images generated while there is relative motion between the specimen under examination and the objective lens of a microscope such as when the microscope stage follows a planned traverse in the focal plane and a digital image is created at intervals correlated to the motion of the stage so that a region of interest in the specimen under examination is covered by the sub-images. The further processing decisions include manually examining the sub-images assessed to have unacceptable image quality, reimaging the entire region of interest and recreating specific sub-images. The method and system may also involve overlaying portions of a composite image with an indication that they were drawn from sub-images of unacceptable image quality.

    摘要: The invention provides method for locating one or more substantially circular-shaped tissue sample positioned on a solid support. The method involves the steps of transmitting light of a preselected wavelength onto a tissue sample, wherein the light induces the tissue sample to autofluoresce, identifying the center location of the tissue sample using the autofluoresced light, correlating the coordinates of the center location of the tissue sample on the solid support using an x, y-coordinate system, and mapping the coordinates of the tissue sample on the solid support to differentiate tissue sample containing regions from blank regions on the solid support. In a second aspect, the invention provides an apparatus for locating one or more substantially circular-shaped tissue sample positioned on a solid support.
