Alphelys SAS, France 

ALPHELYS's mission is to design, develop and market innovative solutions including instruments, software and reagents for Pathology and Cytogenetics markets.

 ALPHELYS Tissue Array Platform

ALPHELYS has designed 3 Integrated Solutions:

1. Biobanking

2. Tissue Array

3. Virtual Pathology

The Integrated Solution for Tissue Array is the first and most completed solution developed.
Tissue Array is a technique that allows depositing on one single microscope slide a very large number of human specimen and up to a never envisaged before 1,000. Thanks to this technique, medical research could speed up biomarkers discovery and validation on large, statistically significant cohort of patients while maintaining financial and human resources to a very limited level.
For Tissue Array research, ALPHELYS has known very early in time and since 2002 to propose to the market the famous tissue array analyzer Spot Browser®. This has been completed with TMADesigner®, software that automates tissue array experiment design and MTABooster®, a retrofit kit that motorizes Beecher Instruments manual arrayer whilst reducing by over 80 % the time spent on tissue array construction.
Since early September 06, ALPHELYS has released TISALYS®, its brand new Tissue Array Date Base that provides powerful environment for images and data storage and tissue array data processing with patient data.

ALPHELYS will release soon its new MiniCore®, a new generation of automated tissue arrayer based on its proprietary and patented technology.
All products of the Tissue Array Integrated Solution are optimized to operate all together closely integrated for optimal performance, time saving and results, shorter to publication, shorter to success.

Integration will be even sublimated by providing connexion between TISALYS® and CRESALYS®, its biobank data base allowing one user to visualize tissue array data from CRESALYS® registered biosample. The Integrated Solution contributes to increase knowledge on specimens and to distribute this information to speed up biomedical research.
