Komet Software for Comet Assay - Architecture

Simple & Efficient Configuration Management

• Scoring Protocols are handled through the Protocol Manager, which guides you through Wizards for Calibration, Camera Settings and Comet Options.
• Comet Processing Options allow you to customize the way Comet images are processed to allow for
• specimen preparation variations.
• Protocols store all settings to ensure repeatable and reliable analysis.
• Komet analysis creates databases containing an image of every cell scored along with its data. This enhances scoring QA and validation.
• Data Storage path is user-defined ("Automatic Data Directories") - can be remote/network storage.
• All Protocol settings are stored in the Database for QC purposes.
• Scoring can begin once a Protocol is defined and Experiment mode is entered.

Figure 1a and 1b. Komet Protocols contain all settings for scoring a study, including calibration, camera and analysis settings. Data paths and output options such as use of databases are also stored here.
