Proprietary Methods and Reliable Results

AltraBio’s offering covers the entire data analysis workflow for flow, spectral, and mass cytometry.
This includes automated gating, cross-sample analysis, quality controls, and biomarker identification.

Automated Gating

Firstly, if you need to apply your gating strategy to a large number of files, our solution can significantly speed up your studies.

  • Accelerate Research: Generate a dedicated gating automaton in just 1 to 4 weeks.
  • Efficient Processing: Achieve fast processing times of 5-10 minutes per file, available 24/7.

Moreover, our approach allows experts to focus on developing new strategies and interpreting biological results. This reduces the time spent on manual gating.

Additionally, our automata consider all markers used in your study. This allows for better discrimination of cell populations compared to biplots. Once validated, your gating automaton is frozen and used on all files in your study. Updates are possible but will result in a new automaton with a new serial number.

Furthermore, thanks to automation, using cytometry for large clinical studies is no longer a problem. This scalability ensures consistent and reliable results across extensive datasets.

Biomarker Discovery

Our validated solutions identify relevant cell populations for various clinical issues:

  • Evaluate measurable residual disease (MRD) in different blood cancers.
  • Predict responder patients for anti-CTL4 anti-cancer drugs.
  • Diagnose autoimmune diseases.

Our methods automatically identify cell populations at different levels of granularity. This results in nested cell subsets, such as broader memory CD8 cells to more specific effector memory CD8 subsets.

Our approach is less sensitive to batch effects. It can incorporate additional information, such as patient outcomes, to guide cluster identification and increase the relevance of identified populations while avoiding spurious artifacts.

Explore Cytometry Data

Explore your data without prior assumptions using dimension reduction techniques like PCA, SPADE, MDS, t-SNE, and UMAP. Additionally, utilize clustering methods for comprehensive analysis.

Conduct statistical modeling and machine learning for differential analysis of cell population abundance or marker expression. This ensures robust and insightful results.

Testimonials

« Exceptional »

« We really appreciate AltraBio because they provide one-stop full service, so we don’t need to worry about a lot of former problems, and also quality of results »

H. L., Bioinformatics expert, specializing in biomarker discovery in a pharmaceutical company

« Supervised approach is really a mature approach, I think  there is an absolute need for having this solution… »

« The quality of the results we got from AB was quite remarkable in the good »

« AltraBio is viewed as automating subject matter experts, with the ability to do the same work. It allows us to free up subject matter experts at scale so a subject matter expert doesn’t have to spend as much time doing gating or reviewing gatings, and it all hinges on the quality that they provide. So for us, that’s the biggest selling point; the quality allow us to be able to say, OK this technology is almost as good as subject matter experts in this domain, and the pricing and the speed make it such that it becomes a feasible solution for us to say we can free up the scientists to do other things and this part can be handled by AltraBio. »

A. M., Director, Data Science and Analytics in a pharmaceutical company

« They do cutting-edge work, we clearly like the innovation part »

« In clinical trials, we could get thousands of samples for different panels… The scale is clearly so big, not many companies can do this kind of work in production mode, on the labor scale »

« They fit clients’ need. »

Y. S., Director, Precision Medicine and Translational Sciences in a pharmaceutical company

« Top of the field »

« They are highly efficient and agile; you won’t interact with much people, so they are quick to respond and provide high-quality service »

« If there is some problem, or troubleshooting is necessary, or some change in the workflow, they are very flexible.»

L. P., Research Scientist II in a Pharmaceutical Company

« Automated gating is there… In 2018, when automated gating was discussed at CYTO, some people stood up and said: “No! This is not going to work. Gating has been done by scientists & experts, and you can’t just put a computer to do their job.” We know now that it is not true because the Altrabio’s solutions are now doing it. It is pretty amazing. »

« This is accurate; we can use it at scale, so we don’t have to do the manual gating. » 

« They do that extra bit of QC on their hand; they also check the transfers and put that extra effort in to make sure that what we do is accurate »

« The work we do with AltraBio is a partnership. I’ll make an example of the last analysis that we did; there were some timelines that needed to be met and they stepped in and said “OK we‘ll get this done in a few days”, not in a week, not in a month … When you have that relationship, when you understand the value and you understand the timelines of the customer, that felt really like a partnership and I think we’re heading in that direction… »
