Copper Scientific: Small Tools for Lab Workflows
Copper Scientific offers focused browser-based tools for laboratory and bioinformatics problems, including plate layout, Illumina index collisions, and file-name repairs.
Field notes
The homepage demonstrates its tools with concrete laboratory constraints rather than generic product screenshots. One plate example uses 24 samples, 4 controls, 8 blanks, and seed 42, reporting zero edge-well samples and no unsatisfied constraints; the index checker identifies a one-substitution collision against a stated minimum distance of three. Copper Scientific also states that browser-parsed sample lists and barcodes are not uploaded, while the file-repair tool is still presented as coming soon.
