Discover scalable and innovative solutions for karyotyping and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH).

Karyotyping

Fast and reliable generation of karyogram suggestions for the expert’s review using artificial intelligence (AI).
Continuous logging of processing steps and unlimited access to the original images to facilitate full control of the entire workflow.
Various configurations to integrate Ikaros to a stand-alone image acquisition unit, a karyotyping workstation, or a ‘doctor’s review’ workplace with access to patient data and statistics.
Support of all common banding techniques for human and non-human chromosomes.
Built-in karyogram form editor with idiograms (ISCN 2016) in different resolutions.
Editor for combined karyograms with the possibility to edit and annotate individual chromosomes.
One-click switching between different capture settings — from brightfield to fluorescence and back.
Manual image acquisition with one-click captures, automatic contrast enhancement, and best focus plane selection.
Automated image acquisition with the optional Metafer software for metaphase finding.

FISH Imaging

One-click image acquisition of up to 12 color channels with automatic exposure time adjustment.
Support of most common motorized microscopes.
Versatile options for automated and manual image enhancement.
Continuous logging of processing steps and unlimited access to the original images.
Selective editing of individual color channels and even of individual areas in the image.
Display of single-color separations and various pseudo color visualizations.
Access to the same karyotyping functions as for transmitted light images.
Support of Multicolor FISH (mFISH) and proprietary Multicolor Chromosome Banding (mBAND).
Various tools for identification of chromosomes, chromosome fragments, and marker chromosomes in the mFISH/mBAND mode.
