Experiment setup One-click channel mapping Calibration & Sample Check Field of view selection Automatic 4-lane acquisition Summary, LNP montage & Data export Experiment setup The first step of AutoLNP is to input your experiment settings, such as the experiment name and collaboration and any relevant tags. Optimized acquisition and analysis settings for the LNP Profiler kit are set as default for users, including channel names, laser power, number of frames, exposure time, and optimal analysis workflow for automated and accurate end to end workflow. Settings can be adjusted to fit different experimental settings, easily saved and applied across all lanes. One-click channel mapping Channel mapping is an essential step towards generating accurate multicolor super-resolution data using a calibration slide. AutoLNP makes channel mapping even easier with a one-click procedure that only takes around 2 minutes using a bead slide. The channel mapping tool optimizes the 560 nm and 640 nm laser powers, acquiring as many fields of view as necessary to complete the calibration. Calibration & Sample check System calibration is a critical step that uses both Autofocus and AutoTIRF tools to automatically find the imaging surface of the LNP Profiler Assay Chip, lock the focus on the chip, and determine the optimal TIRF illumination angle for higher imaging quality. Sample pre-check is an optional tool that quickly scans each lane of the chip, providing representative images of each lane. This helps confirm sample calibration, optimal focus and illumination, as well as sample density and particle staining. Field of view selection Field-Of-View (FOV) selection can be performed either by choosing the number of FOVs to be imaged at the top of each lane, or manually selecting FOVs within each lane's imaging area. The tool includes estimated time indicators to predict experiment duration and a color-coded system to easily visualize the position of the currently selected FOV, those already acquired, or those used for calibration to avoid repeated imaging. On a Nanoimager microscope, AutoLNP images a FOV of 50 µm by 80 µm, with each imaging area surrounded by a bleaching safe zone so that neighboring FOV are not affected by stray laser light. Automatic 4-lane acquisition A live camera view shows blinking fluorophores during super-resolution imaging. The software provides simultaneous real-time image analysis and information including live localizations from the blinking fluorophores and overall experiment progress. After being acquired, each dataset is automatically uploaded to CODI, thus, AutoLNP also provides information on the FOVs being imaged, those being uploaded to CODI, those being analyzed, and the FOVs where analysis is completed and the number of particles/clusters found. Summary, LNP Montage & Data export The acquisition summary page provides a visual overview of datasets, including imaging settings, FOVs for imaging or calibration, links to CODI analyses, and cluster counts. It shows a mosaic of randomly selected LNPs by positivity class. Users can export data via three tools: the LNP montage tool (snapshots by signal and size), a two-page summary report (population stats, size, PDI, biomarker positivity, cargo/ligand abundance), and a CSV file for download and sharing. Does AutoLNP have manual controls as well? AutoLNP introduces great new algorithms like AutoFocus, AutoTIRF, and automated acquisition across lanes. You can manually set the illumination (TIRF) angle if desired, and you can adjust the focus on a per-lane basis prior to starting the automated acquisition, so you can be sure to have the imaging results you want, all while being able to step away from the microscope for imaging.
