Pharma & Life Sciences

Life science imaging data.
Finally under control.

Microscopy datasets fill storage in months, take hours to transfer, and slow down every team that needs them. Your AI projects should not be waiting on infrastructure.

THE CHALLENGE

Four problems that compound on each other

Pharma imaging teams are caught in a cycle where data volume, speed, cost, and AI readiness each make the others worse.

01
Volume

HCS campaigns, lightsheet experiments, and pathology scans generate data faster than infrastructure can absorb it.

02
Velocity

Transfers are slow. Teams wait. Experiments are delayed. Collaboration across sites breaks down.

03
Cost

Storage budgets are consumed by raw file size, not by the value of the data. The cost scales with acquisition, not with outcomes.

04
AI readiness

Inconsistent data from different instruments and runs makes model training unreliable. Most imaging data never reaches the AI pipeline in usable form.

THE SOLUTION

Raw images, up to 8x smaller. Nothing else changes.

Jetraw compresses raw microscopy files up to 8x without changing your workflow. Files stay in their original format. Your team works exactly as before. Storage fills slower, transfers finish faster, and the data your AI models train on is consistent and metrologically validated across every run.

Jetraw connects to your existing local and cloud storage. No new hardware. No IT project. CLI, GUI, API, and Python, on all operating systems.
