Protocol Modeler is a data and management design
tool for lab experiments. Protocol Modeler allows scientist to graphically
design protocols and automate experiments with no programming. Protocol
Modeler combines the
essentials of protocol design, workflow, data management, and real-time analytics in one application that improves the flexibility and responsiveness of a lab by accelerating time to experiment.
Graphical Editor
Drag-and-Drop Design.
Design protocol data and workflow management structures
with ease by dragging-and-dropping steps from
a protocol palette.
Property Panel. Add, modify or delete data definitions at any step in the protocol though a property panel.
Protocol Player Forms.
Specify the order of procedural steps and tasks, including
instructions for gathering and viewing experimental data.
Reusable Protocol Templates. Protocols can be pre-configured for multiple experiment runs and shared through a searchable protocol library.
Cut-and-Paste Workflows. Whole or partial protocol designs can be cut-and-pasted between designs.
Table Views. Report and edit data across steps in a protocol using familiar table view.
Array Views. View and edit plate, stack and rack data using an array view.
Workflow
Flexible Workflow.
Change steps and properties on-the-fly without programming.
Dynamic Data Flow. Support
variable experiment parameters (e.g. plate layout) with dynamic
rules for linking data, procedural steps, and computations.
Computational Pipelining. Define single or multi-staged computational functions as integral part of protocol.
Dynamic Array Support. Create data and computations as either single valued or multi-dimensional to create plates, stacks, or other configurations. No need to rebuild workflow to support inventory and equipment changes.
Reformatting Rules. Specify combinatorial reformatting rules as data flows between arrays within protocol using a design wizard.
Data Management
Customizable Properties. Define measurements, parameters, and materials data to be tracked and managed for each step in protocol. Specify units for data and computations to ensure conversions during computation and integrity of results.
Adaptive Data Model. Automated data capture to support design specifications and modifications without database administration or programming.
Equipment and Systems Drivers. Configure equipment and external systems interfaces to automate data exchange and protocol functions.
Dataset Specification. Map protocol data to relational datasets.
Automated Integration of Instrument Data. Import data electronically from equipment or external systems using wizard.
Search Indexing. Automated data indexing for searching and reporting using all the protocol parameters such as samples, reagents, measurements, or results.
Compliance. Automated audit trail of protocol actions or modifications and records management ensure that compliance requirements can be met.
Real-time Analysis
Auto Report Generation. Specify reports and plots to be automatically generated during protocol execution.
Real-time Analysis & Reporting. Graphs and plots update in real-time as data changes during the experiment.
Extensive Visualization. Available charts include heat maps, histograms, scatter diagrams and others.
Data Analysis. Ability to do the following functions: IC50, curve fitting, chemical structure viewing, error calculation, hit filtering with thresholds and others.
Computable Parameters. Define experiment parameters to be dynamically computed from other inputs to the protocol.
Web-Enabled Data Access. Search, report and mine data through a Web browser interface.
Integration. Simple import and export support to other analytic packages.
Security
User-controlled Protocol Protection. Create read-only or locked protocols to prevent changes to workflow and data during experiment runs.
Check-in/Check-out.
Maintain version control over models in a multi-user
environment using check-in and check-out functionality
from the central repository (Requires TERANODE Model
Server).
