The goal is to improve genomic analysis by increasing the fraction of tumour in a sample vs background normal tissue. Two technologies, automated block coring, and high speed laser ablation of tissue sections have been developed. A follow on project has been to develop automated tumour identification methods to improve the workflow for these devices.
