MetaSystems Probes has received IVDR certification for our XCyting FISH probes for prenatal aneusomy testing – the XA aneusomy probes.

Our New Office

We enjoyed meeting you.

The IVDR is effective and our probes stay the same! A large segment of our portfolio is already IVDR-certified. Our priority is to give you a smooth transition into the IVDR era.

We hope you had a chance to meet us.

The meeting was a great time of exchange and collaboration in Oman.

Did you know that in 2019, the combined Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions from MetaSystems and MetaSystems Probes were equivalent to only 4.1 average German individuals? Moreover, this emissions figure dropped to a mere 2.6 people equivalent in 2021. And in 2022, all the electricity consumed by MetaSystems and MetaSystems Probes was sourced from renewable energy reserves or was self-produced.

MetaSystems Probes has received IVDR certification for our initial 26 fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) probes from the notified body, BSI. Achieving this milestone was not without its challenges, and we are delighted to have accomplished IVDR certification for this probe set at an early stage.

MetaSystems Probes is pleased to announce the new catalog including new and innovative products and supporting information. A PDF version of the new catalog is available for download here.

Researchers led by dermatologist Raffaele Gianotti of the University of Milan and pathologist Prof. Massimo Barberis, director of the Molecular Pathology Unit at Institute of European Oncology in Milan, report evidence of early SARS-CoV-2 infection in an Italian patient.

MetaSystems Probes is proud to present our new XRNA product line! It consists of five different RNA FISH probes intended for multifaceted applications. Our XRNA SARS-CoV-2 probe can be used to detect viral RNA in cell and tissue samples, while automation and quantification can be provided by MetaSystems’ slide scanning platform Metafer. The remaining probes are designed for expression analysis of two central proteins of SARS-CoV-2 viral host-cell-entry (ACE2 and TMPRSS2), and the housekeeping gene (PGK1). Additionally, we offer an XRNA probe for RNA expression analysis of the immune checkpoint component PD-L1.

Our XRNA probes can be used for analysis of many different sample types including cellular samples from swabs, sputum, bronchoalveolar lavage and tissue sections.

Today, MetaSystems Probes provides the acute myeloid leukemia (AML) FISH Guide leaflet. Based on two widely accepted risk stratification models and the ‘WHO Classification of Tumours of the Haematopoietic and Lymphoid Tissues’, this informative brochure summarizes AML associated entities, their underlying chromosomal aberrations and the appropriate MetaSystems FISH probes for detection.

Today, MetaSystems Probes introduces a new tool to comfortably download the Certificates of Analysis (CoA) from our CoA Database.

Today, MetaSystems Probes expands its product portfolio introducing four new probes in the field of pathology and hematology.

MetaSystems Probes launches two new probes for the detection of CRLF2-rearrangements in the context of BCR-ABL1-like ALL.

We are very pleased to announce two new innovations in our XCyting Locus-Specific Probes product line for Hematology and Oncology.

Fluorescence in situ hybridization has become an essential detection assay in today´s routine diagnostics. However, long hybridization times of many hours to overnight are still a restrictive factor. We have refined the production process of our FISH probes to reduce background and artefacts and to improve the signal to noise ratio, particularly in short-time hybridization. Since mid-2015, one hour hybridization on lymphocytes is an integral part of quality control for all XCyting locus-specific probes at our manufacturing facility.

MetaSystems is further expanding its portfolio and adds several new probes for hematology.

Sarcomas are representing a heterogeneous group of tumors originating from mesenchymal tissue. Around 80% develop from soft tissue, the remaining 20% from bone. Sarcomas are frequently observed in children and young adults, accounting for more than 20% of all pediatric neoplasms. Due to the diversity, more than 100 subtypes are known to date, the diagnosis of sarcomas is challenging and fluorescence in situ hybridization has become a valuable tool to analyze the molecular signature of sarcoma subtypes today.

MetaSystems is further expanding it´s portfolio in the field of pathology and hematopathology.
