In Cell Miner HCM will be available later in 2008 and represents a robust and scalable data management software suite that has been developed in collaboration with EMC
GE Healthcare presented a preview of its new In Cell Miner high-content manager (HCM) software for the management of complex data generated by cellular high content analysis (HCA) and screening, at the CHI High Content Analysis meeting in San Francisco.
The system is based on EMC's electronic content management system, EMC Documentum OEM edition, and handles data that have been generated by the IN Cell analyser and similar systems.
By integrating the Documentum content management system with the In Cell analyser, GE Healthcare provides a single platform that enables customers to consistently capture, manage, share and archive HCA data, thereby enhancing research efficiency, data security and customers' ability to ensure regulatory compliance.
"By combining the market-leading electronic content management system with an open standards based data model and our IN Cell analyser imaging platform, we can deliver a data management solution that allows scientists to increase their research productivity and make the most of their valuable results" said Ger Brophy, general manager advanced systems at GE Healthcare.
"EMC Documentum enables us to provide an extensible solution that is capable of dealing efficiently with the large amount of complex data generated by the IN Cell analyser and similar systems".
