Analyze
Command Center provides an extensive suite of tools to plot, analyze and visualize your results. Pick up your processed samples at the designated drop points.
A SINGLE SOFTWARE INTERFACE TO THE ENTIRE LABORATORY
The Cloud Lab Command Center provides a full platform for data analysis and visualization with a suite of over 4,500 functions, including advanced machine learning, image processing and multi-dimensional analysis. Command Center seamlessly integrates with the Constellation® knowledge base (developed by Emerald Cloud Lab).
Constellation automatically saves and annotates all experimental methods and data with complete metadata to ALCOA+ standards and verifies data integrity to ensure that everything is model quality. This eliminates the need for individual data visualization, analysis, ELN, LIMS, LES/MES, QMS and even ERP systems and streamlines them into a single coherent package.
