Frequently Asked Questions

What is SaaS (Software as a Service)? 

SaaS is a complete service and a way to distribute software applications via the internet as a service. SaaS applications are web-based which means that they are available on-demand, anytime/anywhere, and typically require subscriptions to access all features.   
  
These applications are not installed or run locally on someone’s computer in a lab. Instead, they run on the cloud computing servers such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud. 

What is AtoMx Spatial Informatics Platform (AtoMx SIP)?

AtoMx is an integrated, cloud computing platform for spatial biology that can be used to visualize, analyze, and export data from CosMx™ Spatial Molecular Imager (SMI).

AtoMx is offered as a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) product that will allow scalability with on-demand data storage and compute resources. Standardized export data formats for the platforms will help enable collaboration.

Additionally, customers will have the ability to use preset analysis modules or create custom modules in R. Artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities will also be enabled in future software versions.

Why is AtoMx SIP delivered as a SaaS application?

Providing AtoMx as a SaaS application allows NanoString customers to analyze, store, and compute data on the cloud as opposed to hosting analysis in-house or locally on someone’s computer hard drive. The AtoMx platform runs on an industry leading life science cloud computing service.  
  
The SaaS delivery model enables the NanoString Software Team to seamlessly push new software features and services in the future without the need for any manual software updates. Additionally, it allows easy access to AtoMx for those customers who do not own a NanoString spatial instrument via a subscription model without having to purchase individual software licenses.  

What is the expected pricing for AtoMx SIP? 

AtoMx SIP is complimentary for the first year after the purchase of a CosMx SMI instrument. Please contact your local sales team for pricing information after the first year.
