A grey funnel labeled 'QC' filters various colored shapes, allowing only blue circles to pass. Text below reads 'Automated QC and Cleaning'.

A scientific icon in BioRender style, representing "Automated Quality Control (QC) and Cleaning". The icon is a flat, clean design with precise black outlines. The main element is a large funnel. Into the wide top of the funnel, a heterogeneous mix of shapes and colors is entering, including good data points (blue circles #3388FF), bad data points (red triangles #FF4444), and ambiguous data (yellow diamonds #FFAA00). The funnel has a "QC" label on it. From the narrow bottom of the funnel, only the uniform blue circles (good data) are exiting in a clean, orderly stream. The red and yellow bad data is shown being filtered out and discarded from the side. The background is pure white. The overall feel is professional, clear, and self-explanatory. --v 6.0 --style raw See more
