Advanced data management system for cell-based assays enables rapid and informed decision making in the drug discovery process
Cellomics Store manages the massive volumes of data that can be generated in screens that produce detailed results of cellular responses in multi-parameter cell-based assays such as is produced by the Cellomics ArrayScan HCS system.
Cellomics Store provides a uniquely powerful automatic linking of assay measurements, graphs and images enabling users to quickly make informed decisions.
For the first time drug discovery researchers have the ability to visualise data using powerful drill-down capabilities that automatically link measurements and graphs from the plate-level, to the well level, to the cell-level, including images of cells using multiple channels of fluorescence.
With the massive volume of data being generated by modern cell assay systems, the effective management and use of this information has evolved into one of the drug discovery industry's most pressing issues.
Cellomics Store is one of a suite of informatics and bioinformatics products available from Cellomics that work together seamlessly to provide an integrated platform for effective management and use of cell-based data at all stages of the drug discovery process.
Developed in collaboration with several pharmaceutical alliance partners, Cellomics Store's user-friendly visualisation environment gives users transparent access to sophisticated data management software and an underlying relational database.
Cellomics Store is designed as a client-server system with a three-tier object-oriented architecture built on top of an industry standard relational database, either Oracle 8 or SQL Server 7, depending on the customer's needs.
Its powerful data and image visualization tools and robust hierarchical storage management (HSM) technologies provide optimal storage and archiving, while an open application programming interface (API) ensures easy data exchange with a customer's existing information systems.
The underlying capabilities of Cellomics Store enable flexible, scalable, and efficient use with a variety of storage devices including system hard drives, optical jukeboxes, and tape subsystems.
Multiple terabytes of data and images generated by multiple cell-based instruments can be optimally managed with Cellomics Store.
Cellomics Store can be purchased separately or can be integrated into a full-spectrum lead optimisation program from Cellomics that includes the ArrayScan HCS system, assay development, HitKit reagents, cell supply agreements, additional Informatics tools, and the Cellomics Database.
