Auditing
• Audits can be produced for daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly and annual data and QA.
• Audits for average reporting times, the oldest outstanding case, success and failure rates.

Sample Processing
• Culture - Single sample and batch culture set up, harvesting and slide making – for vertical auditing the system records sample set up on the same day and who by.

Oncology Cytogenetics
• Information such as white blood cell count, trial and stage of disease and oncology specimen type can be recorded in sample details.
• Clonal evolution can be tracked by displaying all sample karyotypes in one screen – for G-Banding and also FISH studies.

Culture Records
• Tracking of culture set up, harvesting and slide making with unique bar coded labels throughout every stage

FISH Processing
• Tracking of probe hybridization to specific culture slide, wash procedure, date of processing and operator involved.

Images
• Full and automatic network links to images/case data captured and stored on cytogenetic imaging systems

Results
• Multi-cell results table
• Quality check for banding and mosaicism exclusion
• Record of banding techniques used
• Summary of culture information displayed
• Common karyotype list for rapid and accurate entry

Karyotype Check
• Previous sample and image data from the same patient are linked and displayed for easy disease stage tracking
• Checker vs Analyst karyotype check for prenatal specimens
• Draft reports can be printed for final viewing and then completed reports can be batch printed or individually printed as required

Reports
• Fast, easy and intuitive reporting
• Automatic segregation analysis package
• Automatic internet search scripts for abnormalities within any karyotype

Telephone Enquiries and Searching
