Cellario
New features just released
- Rapid Robot and Instrument Recovery. Recover the robot or a peripheral device immediately after a mishap, without having to stop or wait for long running peripheral operations to complete.
- Pooling Strategies. Employ more options for instrument pooling, including "First Available", "Fail-Over"" and "Round Robin".
- Run Simulator Analysis. Use the Run Analyzer to compare completed runs with simulated runs.
- On-the-Fly Pooling and Depooling. Add and remove instruments from a pool during an active protocol. This can be used to remove the instrument from the current pool, perform manual operations or maintenance, and then return it to the instrument pool after offline use.
- Protocol Step Annotation. Annotate protocol steps with short notes. These notes will be displayed in both the step's properties window and in the visual step in the protocol designer.
- Protocol Time Format. Use a HH:MM:SS time notation for all time-based instrument operation parameters.
New features coming soon:
- Real-Time Gantt Charting. Track the progress and activity of all labware in active runs using real-time Gantt charts.
- Conditional Execution with Scripting Component in Protocols. Construct protocols with decision points; the workflow will go one way or another based on the value returned by the scripting component.
- Relative/Event-Based Pacing. Specify each thread's pacing time either in units of time or relative to a previous plate's completion of a specified protocol step. This will enable better control over processes and greater optimization capabilities.
- Selective, On-the-Fly Peripheral Pausing. Pause any device during a run; the robot will wait for the device to unpause before continuing.
- Critical Timings During Simulation. Identify critical timings during protocol simulation, allowing assays to be optimized more effectively to meet timing needs.
- Mid-Run Pacing Time Adjustments. Adjust pacing times during a run in response to error scenarios. Cellario will suggest pacing times for optimal plate flow, or users can specify new pacing times. Pacing time adjustments will apply to plates that have not yet started and will improve plate treatment after errors.
