Ariol® Pathology Imaging Analysis System

• Ariol combines IHC image analysis with accurate quantitative data and histometrics
• Real data is extracted from images aiding the pathologist to make objective decisions
• Image analysis helps to standardize results
• Automated systems have been shown to be more accurate in the detection of rare events such as the presence of micrometastatic cells in bone marrow

Automated, unattended slide processing

• Ariol’s automated, unattended workflow can continuously scan and analyze slides to improve throughput and efficiency
• Automatic loading, scanning, and analysis of up to 50 slides per batch allows work to be done unattended or overnight
• Positive identification of every slide in the system via an integrated barcode reader accommodates mixing different types of analysis within the same run
• Precise repositioning of slides onto the stage (within +/- 5 microns) via a robotic slide arm facilitates easy relocation of scored objects for manual review through the oculars

Cutting edge image analysis technology

• One of the only systems capable of brightfield, immunofluorescent and FISH image analysis
• The unique, trainable classifier enables users to habituate the system to their individual lab techniques, accommodating day-to-day run variations and methodology
• Slide-Link synchronization of sequential tissue slices provides a way to link scans of sequential slices of tissue
• Advanced fluorescent imaging can optionally blend multiple exposures for better visualization and to avoid false positives and negatives due to over or underexposure
• A customizable SQL database that can be run independently or linked with your own LIMS
• Data handling, workflow and level of automation for sample analysis is customizable and programmable using web services
• Virtual microscopy enable data sharing and accessibility over the internet

• Document and archive both images and data in logical case files for later retrieval
• Reprocess stored cases with new scoring parameters at any time
• Print case reports complete with images, data, and histograms
• Industry standard SQL and XML facilitate export of data and images to an LIS or other database programs of data and images from the Ariol system to your own in-house database.
• Server farms can be set up for maintaining high-speed output while analyzing large volumes of data e.g. that produced by TMA assays.

• Automatic loading, scanning, and analysis of up to 50 slides per batch allows work to be done unattended or overnight
• Positive identification of every slide in the system via an integrated barcode reader accommodates mixing different types of analysis within the same run
• Precise repositioning of slides onto the stage (within +/- 5 microns) via a robotic slide arm facilitates easy relocation of scored objects for manual review through the oculars

• Automatic scoring of selected regions of interest
• Greater confidence in scoring challenging cases
• Standardized scoring between observers
• Reduced need for multi-observer slide review
