Lao LabTools: a browser-side bench drawer

Editorial interest 83/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A free collection of browser apps for molecular- and cell-biology analyses, from flow cytometry to clone lookup.

Landing page captured for the 2026-11-03 issue.

For: Molecular and cell biologists analyzing lab data
Worth noticing: The clone search covers hORFeome 7.1, 8.1, and 9.1, returning clone IDs and plate positions for batch gene lists.

Field notes

The suite maps each app to a file type or output: FCS gating and compensation, CellProfiler CSV plots, CSV/TSV volcano plots, sequence formats for Gateway designs, and hORFeome gene lists with plate and well positions. The site says processing is local and tools work offline after loading; these are homepage claims rather than independently tested behavior. It also invites suggestions through GitHub and asks for citations or acknowledgements in papers.
