- Worth noticing
- All twelve listed tools are marked “IN PROGRESS,” including workflows from plate tracking to cytometry panel design.
Field notes
The index contains twelve entries across seven sections, with workflows described as short sequences such as “LIST → LAYOUT → ALIGN → PDF” for cryo labels and “READ → FIT → LOAD” for protein loading. Its request prompt asks visitors to explain the slow step, their current workaround, and how often it occurs. The page also says the tools are intended to work at the bench on an iPad, laptop, or phone.
