Features of the HALO Link Collaborative Image Management Platform
HALO Link features a powerful and intuitive browser-based image viewer. Change magnification, toggle and adjust fluorescent channels, and easily pan through images using Ergo mode. Deploy a robust collection of annotation tools, including flood-fill and undo-redo, to efficiently annotate tissues, and take high-resolution snapshots for sharing or publication.
Organize without limits thanks to the study-focused design and flexible data hierarchies of HALO Link. Just a few clicks are needed to move slides between studies or relocate an entire study to a different level. Leverage custom study and slide fields at every level for easy task tracking and metadata organization.
Get a deeper understanding of your results, quicker, with interactive markups that allow you to toggle the visibility of cell populations of interest.
Construct slide trays to temporarily host slides for more selective review with collaborators. Trays can contain slides from multiple studies and any associated metadata, annotations, or analysis markups are included. Inviting collaborators to trays is straightforward due to the intuitive invitation and user group systems.
HALO Link enables users to leverage the latest industry-leading tools in image analysis and classification. With seamless integration with the HALO® platform, users can launch quantitative image analysis using HALO settings, efficiently sort, filter, view, and analyze segmented TMA cores, and deploy advanced HALO AI classifiers.
Organize workflows and track progress and results with the flexible tasks system in HALO Link. Create custom task fields to fit the needs of a study, and quickly update task status within the slide viewer. Sort and filter slides based on task status to identify slides with pending, failed, or completed tasks.
Quickly locate slides and studies of interest with the variety of search parameters in HALO Link. Search metadata using compound criteria, navigate to results or add them to a slide tray, and save searches for future reuse or modification.
Meet regulatory and compliance requirements with the Compliance Add-on. Labs can leverage exportable study and system-wide audit trails, reason for change capture, and a viewing-only mode.
HALO Link empowers system administrators to customize their deployment with a fully featured Admin dashboard. Administrators can easily manage configuration details and users, create system-wide metadata fields, view login attempts, and review active jobs and requests.
Easily see the big picture by visualizing metadata or analysis results across a study with the diverse plotting tools available in HALO Link. Choose from heatmaps, scatter, violin, and box and whisker plots to evaluate trends and perform quality control checks. Get a closer look at any data point by clicking to open a slide preview or click again to open the slide in a new window.
