Flagship Biosciences TissueInsight

Flagship Biosciences has launched a new clinical diagnostics immuno-oncology service called TissueInsight, which provides CLIA-reportable PD-L1 results along with data about a tumor's microenvironment to pathologists, oncologists, and immunologists to aid them in optimizing care for cancer patients. According to the company, users of the service follow their normal IHC slide staining process, then scan the slides and send the images to Flagship, which analyzes them with their proprietary image-analysis process. TissueInsight gives rapid, data-rich tissue interpretation and removes the inherent variability of subjective manual tissue scoring, the company said. Along with its CLIA-reportable results, TissueInsight tumor microenvironment data includes information on tumor infiltrating lymphocytes and macrophages, the company added.
