IMAGE ANALYSIS PLATFORM
HALO is the gold standard image analysis platform for quantitative tissue analysis in digital pathology.
With unmatched ease-of-use and scalability, powerful analytic capabilities, and the fastest processing speeds available for digital pathology, pharmaceutical, healthcare and research organizations worldwide are using HALO for high-throughput, quantitative tissue analysis in oncology, neuroscience, metabolism, toxicology and more.
HALO modules simplify the analysis workflow so there is no need to ‘build’ algorithms from scratch. Modules make HALO easy-to-use and understand which means you can spend less time learning software and more time analyzing data.
HALO add-ons can be used in combination with any of the other analysis modules to improve the analysis workflow. These include tools to help automate tissue segmentation, such as tissue classifier, serial section analysis, and TMA, as well as tools to improve image processing speeds for high-throughput labs, such as analysis cluster.
HALO reports morphological and multiplexed expression data on a cell-by-cell basis across entire tissue sections and maintains an interactive link between cell data and cell image. Click on any cell in the image and immediately see analysis outputs for that specific cell. Sorting and filtering capabilities allow the user to mine millions of cells while visually assessing corresponding cell populations. For example, sort cells according to biomarker intensity and immediately locate cells with highest intensity in the image. Just imagine the endless possibilities.

HALO’s modular design and flexible licensing allow it to be adapted to any requirement and budget. Start with all the modules or just a few and add more modules as your needs change. Use HALO on a single workstation or ramp up to a server-based license for your entire group. Purchase a permanent license or renew annually.

We demonstrate how HALO can create a multispectral 7-plex whole slide image from individual field-of-view image tiles captured from the PerkinElmer Vectra 3 or Polaris platform and analyze these images using our highplex FL module and spatial analysis modules.
Using our multiplex IHC module, we quantify immune cells and tumor cell markers across whole slide images. The tissue classifier add-on is employed to segment tumor and stroma and the spatial analysis module is used for proximity and invasive margin analysis.
Using our ISH module for brightfield and our FISH module for fluorescence, we demonstrate how to quantify ISH signal from RNAScope® assays on a per cell or per unit area basis and output an overall expression score based on ACD Bio’s recommended scoring guidelines.
Our customers are making vital discoveries in oncology, neuroscience, and diabetes research. Check out some of the research our customers are publishing using the HALO Image Analysis Platform and Indica analysis modules.
