Scoring Protocols used to Organize Settings & Calibration

• 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 can create a Database (password protected) 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
