ElemBio Catalyst

ElemBio Catalyst™ is a subscription-based cloud analysis solution within ElemBio Cloud that stores and analyzes Element system data. Element manages the Amazon S3 buckets for your storage connections on your behalf, and sets up customizable flows that run automatically when a run completes:

• Sequencing: A Bases2Fastq™ flow generates FASTQ files.
• Cell screening: A Cells2Stats flow generates a visualization file that you can open in CytoCanvas Studio.
• Secondary analysis: Premium workflows for whole genome sequencing and enrichment panel applications, available only on ElemBio Catalyst.

For the complete list of workflows and supported providers, see the Workflow Library.
