Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about the product and
billing.

[H2]
What file types can I upload?

Most common file types are supported, and we keep adding more. Currently supported file types include OME-TIFF, raw TIFF series, Zeiss CZI, Leica LIF and also include the datasets generated by Akoya Phenocycler, Bruker Spatial Biology CosMx and CellScape, Lunaphore COMET, 10xGenomics Visium, VisiumHD, Xenium and Vizgen MERSCOPE.

[H2]
What omics modalities are supported? What devices or protocols are supported?

SPATIALTM can integrate stacks of dense images (e.g., IHC or IF image series) and sparse images (e.g., lists of coordinates generated by mISH). This makes it broadly compatible with analysis workflows in spatial proteomics, transcriptomics and metabolomics. It's confirmed to work well with Akoya Phenocycler, Bruker Spatial Biology CosMx and CellScape, Lunaphore COMET, 10xGenomics Visium, VisiumHD, Xenium and Vizgen MERSCOPE and more.

[H2]
Can I run my own, custom analyses?

We provide comprehensive API access, allowing you to develop your own scripts to interface with SPATIALTM.

[H2]
What does it cost?

SPATIALTM is available through an affordable, simple and transparent pay-as-you-go model. We are happy to provide a custom quote for bulk orders or if you'd like to outsource the end-to-end analysis workflow to us.

[H2]
What are the hardware requirements?

SPATIAL works on any modern browser, leveraging cloud computing for processing. This means you can use our platform even on low-powered machines.

[H2]
How does your registration process work?

It's fully elastic, and scalable to arbitrary size. Some data can't be analyzed without this, but we've found that even nominally well-aligned data can profit from running our registration pipeline. Pixel-perfect precision is essential to get minimal cross-talk!

[H2]
How do you segment cells?

We segment cells using image channels that outline cellular morphology, optionally combined with a nucleus channel. The method works on any image channel on which cell outlines can be made out. For example, antibody-derived stains of CD45, NeuN, Iba1, GFAP, DAPI and many more can be used, but H&E or Hematoxylin staining works as well. Multiple markers can be combined for segmentation.

[H2]
What is the maximum dataset size?

There is no set limit on dataset size. 2-dimensional datasets are billed per dataset; 3-dimensional datasets are billed by amount of data.

[H2]
What payment options do you accept?

The fees are invoiced to institutions, payable via bank transfer.

[H2]
How are the results delivered?

Results are accessible through the SPATIAL browser interface and downloadable in standard formats through the user interface, or through an API for advanced users.

[H2]
Is my data safe with you?

We take data security very seriously. All data provided by our customers is kept strictly confidential and maintained on secure, EU-based and ISO 27001-compliant infrastructure.

SUB-PAGE (https://ariadne.ai/lmtrace/) LMtrace – Neuron reconstruction | ariadne.ai
My dataset contains multiple neurons, but I only want to trace a subset of them. What should I do?
When submitting a dataset, you can add a custom message to us. Please indicate which objects you want to have traced or to inform us about other relevant details.

What file types can I upload?
We currently accept TIFF and ZIP files. Please make sure to compress your dataset into a ZIP archive if it consists of multiple image files.

What is the maximum dataset size?
The maximum file size is 100 GiB. If your dataset exceeds this size, please get in touch with us, and we will prepare a custom quote for you.

What payment options do you accept?
You can pay with credit card (via stripe) or by wire transfer. For the latter, you will receive an invoice with your order details after you submit your dataset.

How are the results delivered?
Reconstructed neurons are provided in SWC format. If you require any other file format, please get in touch with us at contact@ariadne.ai.

How long do the reconstructions take?
Usually, your order will be reconstructed within 1–2 weeks. The duration will depend on the difficulty of the reconstruction task and the number of cells. You will be notified by e-mail once your results are ready for download.

Is my data safe with you?
We take data security very seriously. All data provided by our customers is kept strictly confidential and maintained on secure infrastructure.

Your Diagnosis

Before revealing the machine’s verdict, predict the BS score for each signal. Higher = more BS (more fluff, less verifiable substance). Drag each slider, then submit to compare your judgment against the engine.

Information Density 0 / 30
Read the Narrative & headings: do hard facts (prices, dates, numbers) outweigh fluff power-words?
Semantic Coherence 0 / 20
Compare the homepage promise against the sub-page reality. Do they hold the same line?
Trust & Proof 0 / 20
Weigh review mentions against actual external proof links. Claims without verification = theatre.
Commodity Fingerprint 0 / 15
Check headings & narrative against the industry clichés in the setup above.

Your predicted BS score 0 / 100
💡 Stuck? Reveal the heuristic lens — how the deterministic page-auditor reads each signal (no AI, pure pattern rules)

These are the structural rules a local, deterministic auditor applies — the same lens you can use to judge each signal. They describe what to look for, not this company’s result.

Information Density

Classify each sentence as substantive or hollow. Grounding markers — numbers, currencies, dates, technical units, named entities — outweigh marketing adjectives. When fluff sits right next to hard evidence, the fluff is forgiven.

Semantic Alignment

Pull the main entities out of the H1, then check whether they actually recur through the body. A page that announces one thing and then talks about another drifts. Headings with no real sentences underneath read as pseudo-substance.

Trust & Proof

Count trust words (review, testimonial, rating, verified) against real outbound proof links (Google, Trustpilot, Clutch, G2, Yelp). Lots of trust language with zero verification links is trust theatre. Unlinked logo galleries count against it.

Commodity Fingerprint

Look at how much sentence length varies. Natural writing varies its rhythm; templated or mass-produced copy is statistically uniform. Very low variation reads as commodity content — unless unique named entities break the pattern.

Identity & Authority

Inspect the JSON-LD. Is there an Organization or Person schema, and does it carry sameAs links to real external profiles (LinkedIn, socials)? Missing schema or no identity declaration signals an anonymous entity.

Want to apply this lens yourself? The free BS Indicator Chrome extension runs these heuristic checks live on any page. Bear in mind it is a single-page, deterministic tool — it relies only on pattern rules for the page in front of it and does not perform the cross-page semantic correlation this audit uses, so its readout is a starting lens, not the full verdict.

Integrate SameAs links in the JSON-LD schema to link the named professors directly to their university profiles. Update the ‘Selected Publications’ section with 2025/2026 research to maintain temporal relevance. Convert the text-based citations into hard-linked DOI proof paths in the metadata to eliminate the trust theatre flag.

The site is perfectly aligned with the Science, Research & Laboratories category, specifically focusing on AI-powered biomedical image analysis. The inclusion of specific biological markers like NeuN, IBA1, and GFAP, along with mentions of volume electron microscopy, confirms deep domain expertise.

“The score of 18 reflects a high-integrity site. Points were primarily deducted in the Identity and Authority pillar for lack of structured data links and in the Trust and Proof pillar for the aging publication list relative to the 2026 temporal anchor.”
