ColonyCount is a smartphone app that can assist when counting bacterial colonies on agar plates. Counting is done by taking a picture of plate and placing tags on colonies by tapping screen. ColonyCount will continuously attempt to automatically count remaining colonies using data from the manually placed tags. Region of interest can be defined by crop primitives and free-drawing exclusion areas. Besides counting the app can also be used to perform different measurements using line and sphere primitives.
REtools is a user friendly and easily customized program to organize any laboratory enzyme stock, brings a software solution that makes restriction enzyme use and reaction condition determination straightforward and efficient.
The usually unexplored potential of isoschizomers becomes accessible to all, since REtools proposes all possible enzymes similar to the one(s) chosen by the user. Finally, many of the commonly overlooked subtleties of restriction enzyme work, such as methylation requirement, unusual reaction conditions, as well as the number of flanking bases required for cleavage, are automatically provided by REtools.
