Telo Genomics Launches a Commercial Evaluation of Applied Spectral Imaging Automation (AI) with TELO Workflow


TORONTO, Sept. 14, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Telo Genomics Corp. (TSX-V: TELO) (the “Company” or “TELO”) is pleased to announce that it has launched a commercial evaluation in collaboration with Applied Spectral Imaging (ASI) California to assess the applicability of integrating GenASIs™, the ASI automated imaging and analysis solutions into TELO’s workflow.

The assessment focuses on processing and comparing analysis results of identical samples achieved using ASI GenASIs™ HiFISH automation solution and the traditional TELO’s workflow

The potential integration of ASI GenASIs™ automation and image analysis solutions into TELO’s workflow targets to augment the efficiency and consistency of TELO’s workflow, and at the same time decrease the laboratory’s processing time (Turnaround Time) and cost. The added value has the potential to expedite the adoption of TELO’s technology in the clinic. Future directions for the collaboration between ASI and Telo will be defined based on the compatibility and concordance of the two workflows.

“I look forward to the promising results from this assessment in partnership with ASI. ASI offers world class automation solutions, and has been a long-term collaborator”, said Sabine Mai, TELO’s co-Founder, Director and Chair of the Clinical and Scientific Advisory Board.

“We are excited to launch this assessment with Telo Genomics, we trust ASI technology will offer added value to TELO’s workflow. ASI GenASIs™ solutions gained several FDA clearances for diagnostic and prognostic tests already in the clinic”, said Limor Shiposh, ASI CEO.
