Image Analysis Core Lab

HTAP can provide state of the art image analysis of standard sections or tissue microarrays using inForm software. Sections can be stained with standard stains, immunohistochemical stains or immunofluorescence stains. Stains can be multiplexed for complex multi-analyte analyses and colocalization studies. inForm can be trained to find virtually any tissue type, structure, or tissue subtype. Moreover, inForm can provide area object counts or be used to automatically assess IHC staining levels on a cell-by-cell and sub-cellular basis, providing extremely accurate and sensitive quantitation. Contact for Imaging services: 713-798-6795.
