FlowVision is offline flow cytometry analysis software for Windows and macOS. It supports FCS 2.0, 3.0, 3.1 and 3.2 file formats, polygon/rectangle/ellipse/quadrant gating with auto-fit (snap to cluster), spillover compensation, biexponential and hyperlog scales, MFI statistics (median, geometric mean, CV%), multi-file batch analysis with per-file gate overrides, and hierarchical gating. Spectral unmixing supports linear, NNLS, and Poisson-weighted least squares algorithms, with autofluorescence extraction and spillover spreading matrix. UMAP dimensionality reduction with reproducible seed and landmark mode for high-parameter panels. Imports FlowJo .wsp (compensation matrix) and exports gates to FlowJo .wsp and Gating-ML 2.0 (ISAC open standard) for interoperability with FlowJo, R/flowWorkspace/CytoML, and FCS Express.

A tool that checks the clinical metadata quality (validity, completeness), the integrity between images and clinical metadata provided as well as their accuracy, the de-identification protocol applied, and existence of annotation together with the consistency between the images and the annotation files and informs the user on corrective actions prior to data upload.

Miniconda is a minimal Python distribution that includes the Conda package and environment manager plus only essential dependencies. It provides a lightweight way to create isolated environments and install Python packages as needed, without the large preinstalled package set of Anaconda.

ekokrati computes habitat connectivity metrics (PC, IIC, EC(PC), dPC and its decomposition into intra-patch, flux and connector components) for habitat patch networks. Users upload polygon data as GeoPackage or shapefile, set species-specific dispersal parameters, and receive patch importance scores and landscape-level indices. Designed for conservation planners, landscape ecologists and environmental consultants. No installation required.

Verbex is a private, on-device Voice-to-ELN iOS app for scientists. It helps researchers capture experiment notes by voice as work happens, organize those notes into scientific sections, and prepare clean, reviewable, ELN-ready scientific records.

Molecular Biology Tools is a free browser-based collection of molecular biology utilities for routine sequence analysis, primer design, Sanger sequencing primer planning, cloning setup, and wet-lab calculations. The site includes tools for PCR primer design, Sanger primer design and primer walking, primer binding checks, restriction site analysis, reverse complement generation, ORF and protein translation, codon optimization, ligation calculations, molarity calculations, dilution calculations, and multi-solute solution recipe preparation. The tools run in the browser and are intended for quick experimental planning, without requiring logins or uploading sequences to the server.

Thoa is a cloud bioinformatics platform. Write your Nextflow or Snakemake pipeline, point it at your data, and Thoa handles the rest: provisioning VMs (up to 12TB RAM), resolving dependencies, managing execution. No cloud expertise needed. Every job captures its full context:data, software versions, environment, machine specs, as a reproducibility artifact. Share it with a colleague and they can view or re-run the analysis without an account. Key features: AI debugger that fixes environment and dependency issues in real time. Pipeline tracking with per-step telemetry. if step 47 of 200 fails, re-run from there, not from scratch. One-click data sharing without registration. AI-assisted workflow creation from plain English. Free tier available. Starter $35/mo, Pro $109/mo, Team $480/mo. Zero-egress storage. Based in Zug, Switzerland. thoa.io​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Conspecta is a browser-based research platform that brings microscopy image analysis, flow cytometry, molecular biology, sample tracking, and publication-ready figures into one connected workspace. It replaces the patchwork of disconnected tools most labs assemble, so a lab's data, samples, and results stay linked from experiment to figure with full traceability. Built for imaging-heavy and flow-heavy biology labs, new PIs, and early-stage biotech. Research-focused, not regulated or clinical. Free for individuals. Paid team plans add shared workspaces.
