BIOCAT

BIOCAT is a computerized system designed to help identify the biological origin of gastrointestinal tissue samples, such as biopsies. It analyzes the genetic and molecular characteristics of the tissue to determine whether it comes from humans, animals, or plants. By doing so, BIOCAT assists pathologists and laboratories in ensuring accurate diagnosis, quality control, and detection of possible contamination or sample mix-ups. Essentially, it provides a reliable method to verify the biological source of tissue specimens, improving diagnostic precision and patient safety in medical and research settings.
