Image Analysis Simplified

With unmatched ease-of-use and scalability, powerful analytic capabilities, and the fastest processing speeds available for digital pathology, research, pharma and healthcare organizations worldwide are using HALO® for high-throughput, quantitative tissue analysis.​

 

Intuitive Platform for Analysts at All Levels​

An image analyst can be up and running with basic analysis functions in just a couple of hours with the user-friendly HALO platform – even with no prior image analysis experience! ​

HALO modules simplify the analysis workflow so there is no need to ‘build’ algorithms from scratch. Our purpose-built modules make HALO easy-to-use and understand which means you can spend less time learning software and more time analyzing data.​

Extensive Analytics, Reliable Results​

HALO reports morphological and multiplexed expression data on a cell-by-cell basis across entire tissue sections while maintaining an interactive link between cell data and image. Sort and filter cell data to mine millions of cells while also visually assessing cell populations in the context of tissue architecture, leverage interactive markups to understand colocalization and explore combined phenotypes, and define custom analysis outputs.

Leverage Integrated AI Tools

Use pre-trained deep-learning networks for optimized nuclear and membrane segmentation directly in the HALO platform with cell analysis modules in brightfield or fluorescence, including the Multiplex IHC and Highplex FL modules.

What Our Customers Have to Say

Read independent reviews on our HALO image analysis platform and learn how these customers are using Indica Labs’ solutions to streamline their workflows.​

HALO has become a fundamental tool in our research activity.

"Our Lab (Tumor Immunology Laboratory, University of Palermo) investigates immune responses in cancer. We adopted several tools for quantitative assessment of immunolabeling with good results. HALO offers high-quality cell segmentation and allows accurate analysis of both brighfield and fluorescence-based microphotographs or slide scans. The possibility to easily extract cell features integrating spatial information enables detailed spatial interaction analyses."

Claudio Tripodo

University of Palermo, Tumor Immunology Laboratory

Excellent results, easy to use and flexible. A must-have for my work!

"Easy-to-use software, interactive and well-designed. Halo software is a must-have for our research for several years. Frequent update give more and more possibility to analyze our images. And let's not forget the incredible work and reactivity of all the people in indica labs helping us when we have some trouble to optimize our algorithm. They saved us a lot of time with at a speed I have never seen elsewhere!"

Yoan VELUT

Cordeliers Research Center

HALO is a user-friendly & powerful tool for image analysis w/ great technical support

"HALO is extremely straight forward and easy to use. Great and useful features include: 1. The real-time tuning tool to allow a live view of the effects of various analysis parameters for easy optimization. 2. Annotation tools make it easy to select regions of interest. 3. The ability to perform batch analysis on many images at once. 4. Useful and handy multi-panel figure maker that makes it easy for publication."

Joey Orpilla

UCLA

Could not survive without this software

"HALO is user-friendly, and invaluable for quantitation of multi-omics imaging data (MIBI, CODEX/Akoya multiplex stains, RNA-ISH/RNAscope). Cell segmentation, quantitation of tissue microarray data, aligning serial images, exporting quantitative data and .fcs files, it is incredible. The support team is incredibly responsive and collaborative. HALO is a bit expensive, but it has been completely worth it for us, and it was a worthwhile investment. Highly recommend a detailed demo and purchasing this software if you are interested in quantitative data from tissue multi-omics."

Michael Kattah

UCSF

Excellent replacement for older immunohistochemistry analysis software

"The software is modular and can be run on a server. This helps to increase the analysis power and while reducing the hardware requirement to do the analysis from individual's side. It accepts multiple image formats for analysis which is a plus. The representatives were professional and helped in setting up more modules with ease. Since we have used other software, migrating to this one was easy and has few more analysis set up which was useful and increased its value among our researchers."

Muralidharan Jayaraman

University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center

We use HALO & HALO-Link daily to coordinate studies for our analysts and pathologists.

"HALO is a whole-slide image analysis platform that is designed to work how pathologists classify & score images using a microscope. It uses a set of tools that are very familiar to anyone who has used any type of image viewing/editing program at home. It can be learned in a day to analyze brightfield & fluorescent whole slide images and TMAs. There are sophisticated tools to analyze tissues labeled by chromogenic and fluorescent IHC, RNAScope, FISH & ISH. HALO may be installed on stand-alone workstations or cloud services such as AWS. File sharing through HALO-Link lets user access studies through a simple web-interface sharing a common database. HALO AI allows any user to developing sophisticated AI based tissue classification without the need for external programs or expensive computing hardware."

Timothy Baradet

Bristol-Myers Squibb

For the Pathologist HALO is by far the best digital image analysis platform available.

"As a Pathologist specializing in digital image analysis, I have had the opportunity to use several different digital image analysis platforms. Indica Labs' HALO is by far the most accurate, versatile and user friendly digital image analysis platform that I have used. Literally within 10-15 minutes of "tuning" one of their "out of the box" detection algorithms, I can perform image analysis for most simple immunohistochemical markers. The workflow is simple, with sacanned images being imported directly into HALO with or without annotations for analysis. This even allows for remote use when working off site. The customer support is AMAZING and I routinely get same day or next day help from the technical support reps. HALO is a must have for any pathologist or scientist involved in quantifying immunohistochemical stains. In addition the HALO AI module is extremely easy to use. Within 20 minutes I was able to set up AI detection of tumor vs. normal tissue, as well as tumor epithelium vs. stroma. HALO provides everything one needs for quantification of IHC for clinical and pre-clinical studies (of course with supervision of a pathologist). Best of all: it is fun, like a video game for Pathologists!"
