Edge
The AI-Powered Spatial Biology Platform for Next-Level Discovery
Katana Edge is the cloud-native AI platform built to transform spatial biology workflows in translational and clinical research. Designed for life sciences researchers and clinical scientists, Edge combines best-in-class whole-cell segmentation, feature extraction, end-to-end automation, and intuitive data exploration – no coding or IT setup required.
From ultra-hi-plex image upload to deep phenotyping, Katana Edge delivers fast, accurate, and scalable analysis across large-scale datasets. Powered by cutting-edge AI, including our proprietary algorithms StarFlow, MarkSense, and MorphoLeiden, Edge goes beyond traditional tools to deliver high-fidelity cell segmentation, marker positivity prediction, and spatially-aware clustering in a single platform.
Whether you’re in academic research, biotech, or pharma, Edge empowers your team to:
- Visualize & quantify 100+ channel whole-slide images directly in your browser
- Explore data with ease, using a secure, LLM-powered chat interface – no data science expertise required
- Collaborate in real time, with built-in annotation, sharing, and dashboard tools.
- Integrate seamlessly, working with data from all major instruments including Akoya, Miltenyi, Bruker, Lunaphore, and Ionpath (more instruments/systems will supported in the coming weeks).
With Katana Edge, spatial biology becomes faster, clearer, and more actionable – helping you drive breakthroughs in immuno-oncology, biomarker discovery, and beyond. Now available in beta: We’re offering early access to Katana Edge for interested users. If you’d like to explore the platform, please reach out to us at mail@katana-labs.com.
Edge rationale
Spatial biology provides crucial insights
into tissue organization, potentially advancing immuno-oncology, biomarker discovery, and drug development with hi-plex imaging.
Yet, accurate analysis is hard
due to need for image analysis and AI expertise, large data volumes and computational requirements, and a lack of software tools.
Edge simplifies hi-plex tissue analysis
with AI-powered image segmentation and quantification and a fast intuitive cloud platform for analysis and visualization in the browser.

Edge platform
Fast and intuitive browser-based slide viewer
visualize hi-plex whole slide images online
Effortless cell segmentation and quantification
extract nuclei, cell shapes, marker intensities and phenotypes
Tools for collaboration
share, annotate and engage with colleagues

Biomarker analysis is the backbone of precision oncology
for most of the biomarker tests performed on histopathology slides.
Yet, analysis is time consuming and subjective
due to manual analysis of a limited number of clinical scientists.
Edge assists CROs
with AI-driven histopathology biomarker analysis, enabling faster, more accurate precision oncology with seamless browser-based interface.
