Services
Katana Labs is your dedicated solution provider for fast and cost-effective analysis of complex spatial biology datasets.
We provide expert image analysis and data analytics services for spatial omics datasets to customers in translational and clinical research, as well as biopharmaceutical R&D.
From best-in-class cell segmentation to deep phenotyping and batch analyses, we deliver single-cell multidimensional data from large image datasets according to your individual requirements.
We approach each request individually.
For each project, a dedicated expert from our team will assist and guide you through the process, from understanding your requirements to defining the scope of work and understanding the results.
> Batch & Cohort Analysis
Upscale your data without upscaling your workload.
For Whole Slide Images (WSIs) and Tissue Microarrays (TMAs), we provide image analysis and advanced data analytics tailored to your needs.
Currently available for the following modalities:
• Multiplex Immunofluorescence
• Spatial Proteomics
• Spatial Transcriptomics
• Fluorescence in situ Hybridization (FISH)
• Immunohistochemistry (IHC)
• Advanced IHC for low-expressing biomarkers in collaboration with Lumito
Deliverables: image visualization and data exploration in Katana Edge + QC Report + Results Report
> Accurate Cell Segmentation
Best-in-class single cell segmentation for various tissues and modalities.
Accurate cell segmentation is the foundation for high-quality downstream analysis
results from spatial omics datasets. Our best-in-class AI algorithms provide most
accurate cell and nucleus segmentation. Cell borders and morphological features
are precisely captured, even in tissues with complex and varying architectures.
Currently available for the following spatial biology modalities:
• Multiplex immunofluorescence (mIF)
• Spatial Proteomics
• Spatial Transcriptomics
• Fluorescence in situ Hybridization (FISH)
Deliverables: nucleus and/or cell segmentation masks for direct visual exploration and download
PLUS: we can set up automated cell segmentation pipelines for your imaging modalities, reducing time and costs from raw data to fully segmented images.
> Deep Feature Extraction
Understandable, multidimensional data at your fingertips.
• Uncover deeply embedded morphological and functional features, derived from
full quantification of all detectable cellular and sub-cellular markers and features.
• Discover and quantify morphological features of individual cells and cell populations taken their spatial relationships into account.
• Quantify all biomarkers coherently across modalities (for spatial multiomics).
• Identify cell populations with shared morphological and molecular characteristics (unsupervised clustering).
Currently available for the following spatial biology modalities:
• Spatial Transcriptomics
• Multiplex immunofluorescence (mIF)
• Spatial Proteomics
Deliverables: quantified multidimensional data for direct visual exploration and download
> Quality Assurance & Quality Control
Optimize your spatial biology workflows and preserve valuable recourses.
We support you in standardizing your spatial biology workflows by identifying weaknesses and optimization opportunities. Our internally developed QA and QC procedures allow us to detect quality issues and pinpoint their origin.
By routinely examining the quality of every spatial omics image dataset that we process, we know how to detect artifacts, determine their causes, and provide actionable feedback to improve the underlying workflow (from sample preparation over scanning to analysis).
Through our support you can achieve high-quality single-cell resolution without wasting precious samples, materials, or time on additional optimization experiments.
Deliverables: consulting and customized quality assessment
