SilicoCyte™ is a comprehensive microarray data management and analysis solution that helps commercial and academic research institutions optimize their investment in microarray experiments. 

An affordable enterprise solution with advanced data management and analysis capabilities, SilicoCyte™, allows researchers to exploit the true potential of microarray data generated from past work, thereby avoiding the need for repetitive experiments. Through its comprehensive data warehouse, SilicoCyte™ enables full utilization of existing experimental data and researchers will save time and effort by using the simple querying tools that mines data using biological queries.

SilicoCyte™ is the ONLY enterprise microarray analysis solution that combines all processes and databases in a single application – Image Analysis, Data Annotation, Statistical Analysis, Project Management and Visualization. By using one integrated solution that covers the entire workflow of microarray experiments, researchers will benefit from the time saved in learning multiple applications and interfaces. Researchers can also work without the fear of data loss resulting from moving data through multiple applications for processing.

SilicoCyte’s features are all designed keeping in mind the need to make the maximum use of the time and money spent on research. From experiment design templates to advanced visualization tools, SilicoCyte’s various modules will help the researcher in extracting the maximum benefit of current and past experiments with the ultimate aim of making publications easier for the academics and IP generation process including regulatory compliance easier for the industry.
 

Designed for faster, efficient image analysis, SilicoCyte™ has automatic, semi-automatic and manual gridding capabilities. The powerful image analysis algorithms help you:
Process large volumes of images in an efficient manner
