Tissue biobanking
- Virtual microscope
A translational tissue biobanking technology platform with focus on web-based access to digitized tissue samples and associated clinical/phenotypic data has been jointly implemented by the Universities of Tampere (IBT) and Helsinki (FIMM). Through the platform services of whole-slide tissue digitization, web-based viewing of scanned gigapixel-size tissue samples and quantitative microscopy readout of tissue stainings, as well as automated, pattern recognition based morphological classification are provided. The platform serves as a national core facility offering services for microscope specimen scanning, networked virtual microscopy, image analyses and linking of results to clinical and phenotypic data.
