Exceptionally Dynamic Scheduling Software
Cellario is a dynamic scheduling software package that controls HighRes Biosolutions’ MicroCell™ and MicroStar™. Cellario is based on both resource allocation and events and can be customized to meet your needs. Cellario can run multiple experiments in parallel or sequentially and also features Gantt chart and fast-time simulations for detailed run analysis.
Cellario is intuitive and easy-to-use. Cellario interfaces well with your internal software to generate orders and trigger methods to be run, easily handling highly complex processes. The multithreading software allows for efficient cell operation and error handling, allowing a run to be recovered even if system power is lost.
Key Features:
- Gantt chart and fast time simulations for detailed
run analysis - Advanced run start options provide the ability to
cue protocols sequentially or to interleave. - Runs can be programmed to start at a particular
date and time - Error recovery by accepting or repeating a failed step
- Full system error handling to recover a run even if
system power is lost - Over 70 device drivers available for Cellario; new
ones continually added.
Protocol Designer
Protocol Designer allows the operator to generate a flow diagram, including all of the process steps designed by the operator. The operator simply drags an icon depicting the desired process step into the flow diagram and enters all parameters associated with the operation identified by that instrument’s device driver. The protocol designer will immediately notify the user if an error occurs with the experiment design.
When the experiment design is complete the user can save the experiment, allocate labware input and storage locations in the Order Designer, and then start the run on MicroCell via the Run Control interface.
Order Designer
Order Designer is used to allocate plates to storage locations to start an experiment on a robotic cell. A user can create one or more orders for a given protocol/experiment since the protocol is independent of plates. This allows the user flexibility to launch runs with different plate configurations for the same protocol at any time or in parallel.
Run Analyzer
The Run Analyzer offers fast time simulation of your experiments and interactive Gantt charts to view entire run timings and critical time events. Cellario provides the ability to change critical time events and adjust pacing times for new samples that are input into the system to ensure your assays perform as planned.
Run Control
The Run Control interface allows the operator to retrieve a saved protocol and start the run in either simulation or real time mode. From the Run Control the operator can initialize the system, pause, restart and stop a given experiment. The operator will have the ability to view device drivers with this interface as well.
Inventory Tracking and Data Capture
All relevant system information is captured in an Oracle database. HighRes can connect your reader output directly to your databases or track compound inventory (including plate generation history), and can customize Cellario to seamlessly integrate with your in-house LIMS system.
Device Drivers
Cellario supports most popular instruments and devices. Manual operation of instruments is also possible through device drivers in the Cellario interface.
