What is the challenge?
Many customers, especially those in Academic institutions or those with a strong bioinformatics background already have powerful analysis solutions for some or many of their assays. We could see this at the HCS user group...
By default set owner filter to match user logged in.
What is the challenge?
All the data is visible, regardless of the user's login credentials, and it can be difficult to find specific data, particularly when there are multiple users.
What is the impact?
Most of the time, users are not inte...
Error and Status Communication from Harmony to Automation Software
What is the challenge? Harmony does not properly communicate Error messages (e.g. due to Focus Errors) to the Integrator's automation software. What is the impact? In an automated environment, the customer needs to see all issues related to their ...
What is the challenge? Selecting wells that have interesting results visible on the heat map. This is not possible. In contrast to all other plate displays and even the Graph Display, the Heat Map on the evaluation tab does not allow to select wel...
What is the challenge? After an analysis including a Heat Map into a demo report is a hassle. One has to save it to disk and then import it into the report. And the saved image has a rubbish canvas. Harmony shows all the wells in the same size, so...
What is the challenge? The labels in our plate overviews are "suboptimal". If we read 4 fields in a 384 well plate we get either no label ... and we have to count rosw/columns small ... in every well we get for each field one label like "M23:4" wh...
Adapt the z-Volume of a Re-Scan (PreciScan in Z) to the size of the Re-Scanned Object
What is the challenge? PreciScan in Z is a powerful tool to image e.g. organoids. However, usually the organoids are very diverse in size. This means that A) the scientist needs to know quite precisely the size of the largest objects of interest, ...
What is the challenge? Usability: when working with images in Harmony distances are usually entered in µm and also users think of µm. However, when measuring something interactively in Harmony, it always defaults to pixel ... on every image displa...
Meaningful sequence of results also for the first graph
What is the challenge? After the analysis the sequence of results by default follows the sequence the wells were measured. And this is very counter-intuitive and leads to initial mis-interpretations. E.g. the results for the Wells B5, C5 and D5 ar...
When writing archives of PreciScan measurements always include the evaluation of Measurement "a" that was used to find the regions. When archiving only measurements these evaluations are often forgotten and later on the connection between the two ...
