Orgentec Diagnostika has introduced the Ivision Scanware software for the automated evaluation of immunoblots.
The software allows these effective and robust test systems to be objectively assessed and the laboratory test results efficiently stored and archived.
By graphically representing test results, the software effectively aids physicians and laboratory personnel in interpreting results and makes it possible to obtain a diagnosis within a few minutes of completing incubation.
With its archival capability, Ivision Scanware facilitates the management of large amounts of data and the detailed documentation of results.
Incubated blot strips are recorded and digitised by means of a protocol sheet and commercially available flatbed scanner.
The software independently identifies the bands and measures their intensity.
Analysis of the immunoblots is computer assisted; data can be supplemented manually.
The analytical results are then stored digitally, along with the image data from the immunoblots, which makes storage of the incubated blot strips for archival purposes unnecessary.
Ivision Scanware is suitable for all Orgentec immunoblots.
These test systems are used for the diagnosis of rheumatoid inflammatory diseases ('rheumatology diagnostics'), the detection of anti-nuclear cytoplasmic antibodies ('ANCA detection', 'vasculitis diagnostics') and the diagnosis of autoimmune thrombosis ('thrombosis diagnostics'), as well as for the diagnosis of gastrointestinal diseases and autoimmune liver disease.
