ElemBio Catalyst™

ElemBio Catalyst serves as a native data storage and analysis add-on within ElemBio Cloud. ElemBio Catalyst provides cloud buckets for storage connections and compute activities that Element manages for you.

Element also sets up a Bases2Fastq verified flow, which you can then customize. The flow automates FASTQ file generation to minimize the touchpoints that delay results and increase the potential for error. When a run is complete, the Bases2Fastq flow automatically converts the bases files into FASTQ files and stores them in the cloud.
