Image analysis of stained slides is a powerful tool that can add value to your drug development studies. Here at StageBio, we perform image analysis using high-quality scanned images. 

We employ Visiopharm’s Biotopix™ solution and other image analysis solutions to extract quantifiable data from your stained slides. Image analysis can be used for the following common requests, as well as many more: linear and area measurements, counting positive cells and quantification of positive staining of proteins in cells and tissues. Here are just a few examples of the kinds of image analysis that StageBio can provide for you:

• CD31 quantification for angiogenesis studies
• Ki67 or BRDU cell counts for proliferation studies
• Apoptosis/programmed cell death
• Immunophenotyping of xenografts, single or multiple immune cell markers
• Stem cell identification and biodistribution
• GFAP and Beta-amyloid quantification for Alzheimer’s studies
• PAS-positive goblet cell counts and area in eyes
• Insulin and glucagon quantification for diabetes studies
• Wound healing/re-epithelization in skin
• Fibrosis quantification in muscle and liver
• Prussian Blue stain for iron quantification in liver

Data can be provided in Microsoft Excel format or in graph form. We can also provide statistical analyses and histopathological interpretation of the data.
