Expanded Capabilities for Greater Flexibility in Image Analysis

GE Healthcare announces the launch of IN Cell Investigator v1.5 software, the latest addition to the Investigator range of user-friendly image analysis tools for automated high content analysis of live and fixed cells. The new features of the software provide users with the highest flexibility, meeting the needs of a wide range of image analysis activities in sub-cellular research and screening. In addition to building on over 50 validated applications, the new features of IN Cell Investigator v1.5 facilitate: whole well analysis - the generation of a panoramic image through image stitching of overlapping images enables the analysis of whole wells, larger cell populations and model organisms; texture analysis - for deeper insight into results, particularly for toxicology and cell cycle; 3D-angiogenic tubules formation analysis; de-clumping of heavily clustered colonies and populations containing binucleated cells, providing greater insight into stem cell colony analysis; and cell feature tracking to get a temporal perspective of cellular processes.

In conjunction with the IN Cell Miner software, Investigator v1.5 offers a fully integrated solution for image analysis, data management and visualisation that can be used with all IN Cell Analyser systems from GE Healthcare, including the recently launched IN Cell Analyser 2000. Additional options of the software facilitate the integration of high-content data from the IN Cell Analyser with other third-party sources. High quality technical support is available for IN Cell Investigator v1.5, including onsite training courses and customised training based on individual requirements.
