News and Announcements
Jan 2008: Slide Scanning and Quantitative Image Analysis Available

January 2008
We are pleased to announce that the Johns Hopkins Department of Pathology Tissue Microarray (TMA) Core Facility (located at 418 Bond Street B312) is now offering new technology for slide scanning and Quantitative Image Analysis of histologic and tissue microarray sections!

Manual slide analysis is highly subjective, laborious, and commonly employs broad visual scoring protocols that are less than ideal for research. The TMA Core Facility is now offering high throughput automated whole slide imaging of microscope slides and TMA sections using the Aperio ScanScope CS System. There are also various options for semi-automated quantitative image analysis. A variety of formats can be analyzed with this system, including human tissues, animal tissues, or cell pellets singly or incorporated into a TMA. This system is also compatible with TMAJ software (http://tmaj.pathology.jhmi.edu) for managing image files and information related to your experiments.

Please email Helen Fedor at hfedor1@jhmi.edu or call 4-1660 to set up a free consultation regarding your project.
