The heart of the iQue® platform, iQue Forecyt® Software, is an interactive assay development, implementation, and analysis environment.
Designed from a screening perspective, iQue Forecyt® Software provides plate level annotation, analytics, and results visualization tools not found in traditional flow-based analysis software packages. From linking well data together to combining multiple assay outcomes together to identify “hits”, the time saving features help you get data insights that drive discovery.
iQue Forecyt® 8.1 Recommended Software Upgrade Available Now! – Improved performance and analysis tools to handle larger data sets with ease:
See what is new!
- Performance Improvements: Shorten analysis load times, optimize calculations, and get results faster
- Custom axis labels and titles: Now available for plots, histograms, standard curve graphs, and series graphs
- Linear range information: Now available for standard curves-
- Brand Update: “Decon” in the rinse station has been renamed to “Flush” on all instruments and protocols
iQue Forecyt® Standard Edition: “Instrument Control and Analysis”
Part of every instrument, iQue Forecyt® software provides the flexibility to set up sample acquisition, probe rinsing, and sampler cleaning any way you want, plate after plate. Once your analysis is created and optimized, it can be turned into a template that can be applied to any number of plates, providing “on-the-fly” analysis and result generation as your plates are processed.
iQue Forecyt® Offline Edition: “Analysis on the Run”
For when you need to analyze your data but are not connected to the instrument. Planes, trains, and automobiles are now just extensions of your office.
iQue Forecyt® Enterprise Edition: “Multi-user Access and Data Sharing”
Designed to be secure and scalable, iQue Forecyt® Enterprise software is a multi-user, multi-instrument data storage and management solution that gives distributed access to remote analysis capabilities using “clients” activated with floating licenses. Some of the advantages for your organization are:
- Security and reliability via centralized data storage, encrypted network communication, and team / user level permissions
- Collaboration via data sharing among multiple users
- Throughput enhancements by running experiments on multiple instruments
- Scalability through enterprise caliber software architecture
- Ease of deployment via simple installers and flexible physical IT layout
iQue Forecyt® Software Features
-
One Stop Workflow
-
Interactive gating with real time results
Easy assay optimization by gating on entire plate of data at once. Moving gates changes resulting data in real time allowing you to see the effects immediately.
-
Generate the data you need and share it
Create custom metrics derived from basic metric building blocks using a simple wizard. All metrics become available for additional analysis, visualization, and/or exporting. A report generation wizard makes it easy to document your work in electronic notebooks and share it across your organization.
-
Data Visualizations linked by well
The unique "Well Scan" function links multiple visualizations so you can quickly see all graphics generated from each well.
-
Make decisions easier with profile mapping
Making sense of high content data and finding the sample with the right activity fingerprint can take a lot of time. We provide a way to combine assay outcomes (profiles) with Boolean logic to help locate the wells that meet your multiplexed criteria.
-
Create a plate level view of all well graphs
With a single mouse click you can make any plot or histogram into a “Plate View” of well data thumbnails to visually compare them.
-
Analyze multiple plates across your experiment
Snapshot your entire experiment with iQue Forecyt® Software’s Panorama. View all plate data together to compare heat maps, identify hits across profile maps, and rank wells by any metric with line graphs.
