Development update: New engine and better data exploration

This week marks a major milestone: our brand-new processing engine is now live for all users! Designed to handle massive datasets with ease, it increases performance by more than 10x on large datasets. Alongside this speed boost, we are introducing powerful new ways to navigate your data spatially, from whole-plate overviews down to individual cell context.

What shipped this week:

New Engine: The new engine is now the standard for all accounts, ensuring that analyzing tens of thousands of objects remains a lightning-fast experience. With a flexible database under the hood we will be able to query the data in new ways.

Thumbnail to Sample Navigation: We continue adding more ways to explore your data. When investigating a specific object thumbnail, you can now navigate to that object's exact location within the full sample view, highlighting it for immediate context.

Well Plate View (Alpha): We are now in alpha with visual navigator for plate-based experiments. You can now generate heatmaps for extracted parameters (e.g., mean intensity) to visualize which wells are active. This view is fully connected to your data exploration—adjusting a gate updates the plate view in real-time. You can also easily group files by well (e.g., negative controls vs. treatments) to isolate specific populations.
