"Differences in how users gate populations within experiments are major sources of variability in flow cytometry data analysis. Incorporating automated image analysis can substantially reduce user bias. Users are given access to an expansive array of image-derived label-free parameters that can help with assessment of sample quality, optimization of gating strategies, and discovery of morphological features that are not resolved with light scatter or fluorescence parameters. The result is a stre ... Read More

"Artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots driven by large language models (LLMs), like ChatGPT, offer opportunities to improve efficiency in imaging informatics use cases. However, simple prompts for these models do not always return desired responses and poorly designed prompts may predispose to limitations associated with LLMs, such as model hallucination. Prompt engineering is the process of designing effective prompts that generate high-quality, clear, and accurate responses. Learning about ... Read More
