New Mexico, USA 9/30/2012 – Indica Labs, Inc. proudly announces the availability of HALO™, the next generation image analysis platform for digital pathology. HALO is designed to be the fastest, most scalable, user-friendly image analysis software the industry has witnessed. The platform seamlessly hosts Indica’s large portfolio of morphometric and colorimetric analysis tools for neuroscience, metabolism, oncology, and toxicological pathology.

Following a successful beta program at the Novartis Institutes for BioMedical Research in Cambridge, Massachusetts, HALO is now globally available via direct sales channels or indirectly through select distributors. The software can be licensed under both CapEx and OpEx pricing models, including pricing options for multi-seat,site-wide, and academic licenses. For additional pricing information, click here.

HALO excels in providing cell-by-cell results and features an unprecedented level of interactivity between cell data and cell imagery, making it ideally suited for quantification of cell-based immunohistochemistry (IHC) and In Situ Hybridization (ISH) assays. Cell-by-cell analysis can be performed across large studies involving thousands of whole slide images, or on individual photomicrographs captured on a traditional microscope. HALO’s modular design supports both affordable, small-scale, desktop environments andhigh-throughput, multi-node, networked environments.

Despite HALO’s unmatched functionality and power, the platform features a remarkably simple user interface that allows researchers to quickly become comfortable and produce results within minutes. Indica CEO, Steven Hashagen, remarked “HALO’s powerful feature- set and intuitive design have been a long time in the making. We’ve spent the past year-and-a-half working with thought leaders in the industry to conceptualize what a next generation image analysis workstation would look like and now we’re seeing those concepts to fruition.”
