CryoFlow Software - integrative data management for cryo-EM workflows

Thermo Scientific CryoFlow Software is a paperless data management solution that optimizes cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) workflows for single particle analysis (SPA) and cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET). Installed on a Thermo Scientific cryo-TEM associated server, CryoFlow Software facilitates routine generation of protein structures and cellular structural analysis through a unified environment for image acquisition and analysis. It enables real-time processing of images and metadata, supervises data acquisition, and allows for efficient data export. CryoFlow Software ensures data security and facilitates collaboration, and is compatible with Thermo Scientific Smart EPU Software and Thermo Scientific Tomography 5 Software, empowering researchers to optimize their cryo-EM workflows.

CryoFlow Software benefits

Rapid access and visualization 

Conveniently retrieves images, volumes, and all related metadata from a dedicated server through a web browser.

Streamlined cryo-EM workflows

A unified and connected software experience for image acquisitions and analysis, simplifying and streamlining the optimization of both single particle analysis and cryo-electron tomography workflows. 

Efficient data export

Filter and export pre-processed data for focused analysis in commonly used cryo-EM post-processing programs. This increases workflow connectivity, saving time and resources.

Enhanced data security

Maintain control over your data access, ensuring your sensitive information is shielded from unauthorized users.

Facilitated collaboration

Enables multiple users to simultaneously view and work on the same project in real-time, promoting efficient teamwork regardless of location. Appropriate levels of access and control over the data can be assigned to each user depending on roles.


Cryo-EM applications and instruments supported by CryoFlow Software

CryoFlow Software supports a range of applications used to optimize single particle analysis and cryo-tomography workflows, including Smart EPU Software and embedded CryoSPARC Live* for single particle analysis and Tomography 5 Software for cryo-tomography. These applications operate at the interface between data acquisition and processing.

 

CryoFlow Software facilitates on-the-fly image analysis, real-time reporting, and guided workflows, enhancing efficiency and productivity in cryo-EM labs. In addition, CryoFlow Software features the Discovery Viewer, an add-on which helps to precisely determine where specific images were captured on a sample during the single particle workflow (i.e., grid square, foil hole, and atlas). This facilitates the evaluation of multigrid screening results and the identification of optimal areas and imaging conditions for subsequent data acquisition.
