Cytogenetic software SoftCytogenetics®

FISHlaboratoryanalysis

SCC's genetics laboratory information management system, SoftCytogenetics, allows processing of cases using workflow scenarios as determined by the laboratory's standard operating procedures (SOPs), including culture setup through harvesting, slide processing, analysis, and reporting. SoftCytogenetics offers a complete solution for cytogenetics laboratories, providing user-definable protocols, real-time sample tracking throughout processing, and auto-generation of reports based on user-defined rules and canned messages. Culture Tracking functionality supports culture processing for any testing in the cytogenetics laboratory as well as culture preparation for send out testing. Integration with cytogenetic imaging systems allows for easy countsheet data capture and image placement on reports. SoftCytogenetics also fully supports adjunct testing such as FISH (fluorescence in situ hybridization) and CGH (comparative genomic hybridization). SoftCytogenetics' information management functionality facilitates action items such as sample processing and quality control queries through a user-friendly and efficient, browser-based, Web-enabled graphical user interface.
