MetaSystems offers the Customization Package Sperm Detection to establish a workflow for forensic sperm finding that has been successfully implemented for customer labs using standard Metafer platform functionality.

The Metafer-based workflow employs artificial intelligence, specifically Deep Neural Networks (DNN), for forensic sperm cell detection, even in cases of degradation, concealment, or tail absence. A thorough search on a standard specimen typically takes less than 15 minutes. Metafer supports unattended searches on up to 800 slides, prioritizes samples, and reads barcodes. The DNNs in the Customization Package Sperm Detection are trained with thousands of preparations and accommodate commonly used staining methods in forensic laboratories.

Configured with Neon technology, Metafer ensures careful data handling, providing full traceability, multi-level user accounts, and protection against unauthorized changes. It generates gallery images with quality scores and exact coordinates, facilitating efficient review and retrieval under the microscope, with seamless transfer to external microdissection systems.
