Harmony

What is the challenge? If you set up an Experiment in Harmony, and move to the "Run Experiment" Tab to enter your plate name and start the measurement, Harmony shows a strange behavior (it has always been doing this): within the Navigation pa...

What is the challenge? In the Setup Tab, if the user loads an Assay Layout, you get additional layers within the Define Layout Tab of the Navigation panel. This is a great feature, and if you have color coded wells, you can use this to navigate...

What is the challenge? Tissue sections on slides are often not "perfect" samples. Sometimes they have air bubbles, very often you have a small cover slip that you want to detect by PreciScan. The PreScan is very often done with the 5x objecti...

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...

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...

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...

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, ...
