Product catalog summary
Overview: The document discusses the GenASIs Scan & Analysis ALK, a computer-aided solution designed to evaluate gene rearrangements involving the ALK gene, which is significant in the development of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This technology aids clinicians by automating the scanning and analysis of ALK slides using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) NSCLC tissue specimens.
Specifications: The system utilizes the Vysis ALK Break Apart FISH Probe Kit from Abbott to identify ALK gene rearrangements, providing accurate, repeatable, and standardized results. This enhances clinical accuracy and efficiency, potentially aiding in the selection of NSCLC patients for treatment with Crizotinib (Xalkori®), which may offer survival benefits.
Procedures: The process involves optimal field of view setup with dry or oil objectives, use of a highly sensitive camera, and customized contrast enhancement for tissue samples. The system segments clustered cells, detects small and faint signals, and employs smart fusion algorithms for overlapping and distant fusions.
Performance: The GenASIs system offers greater throughput with automatic prescan of H&E, IHC, and FISH slides, full case analysis within 3-6 minutes, and interactive capture of tumor regions. It reduces case time, increases clinical accuracy, and provides automated cell analysis.
Highlights: Key features include automated cell segmentation, signal detection, cell classification, and a cell gallery with reporting tools. The system is FDA cleared for clinical use with Abbott’s Break Apart FISH Probe Kit.
Contact Information: The document provides contact details for Applied Spectral Imaging Ltd. in various regions, including North America and Europe.

GenASIs Scan & Analysis - ALK Personalized Medicine in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer GenASIs Scan & Analysis ALK is a computer aided solution aiding in the evaluation of gene rearrangements involving the ALK gene, which has been identified as a significant factor in the development of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). GenASIs allows clinicians to • automatically scan and analyze ALK slides via fluorescence in situ hybridizatio (FISH) in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) tissue specimens stained with Vysis ALK Break Apart FISH Probe Kit from Abbott, and • identify the ALK gene rearrangement while achieving accurate, repeatable and standardized results which enhance clinical accuracy and save time. The Vysis Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase (ALK) Break Apart FISH Probe Kit could aid in the selection of previously treated non-small cell lung cancer patients for treatment with the Pfizer drug Xalkori® (Crizotinib), which may result in a life-prolonging survival benefit. With GenASI’s ALK, pathologists can focus more time on the professional aspect of the case, and leave the cell counting to the computer. Negative Class
