Overview

What Lab Studio does

Lab Studio covers the calculations a wet lab does every week. qPCR relative quantification by ΔΔCt (Livak) or efficiency-corrected Pfaffl with several reference genes, geNorm stability, replicate outlier flags and statistics on ΔCt; standard-curve efficiency; 4PL and 5PL dose–response fits with IC50 confidence intervals; and power and sample size for t tests, ANOVA, proportions, survival and RNA-seq.

Every method is validated against the original papers and R packages (drc, pwr, RNASeqPower, gsDesign, NormqPCR), and every chart exports to SVG, PDF or 300 / 600 dpi PNG.

Technical specifications

Inputs: Plate CSV (long or wide) · Dose–response CSV · Standard-curve CSV
Outputs: Fold-change tables · IC50 and curve parameters · Sample-size tables · Figures (SVG, PDF, PNG)
Engine: TypeScript (Levenberg–Marquardt, non-central t/F)
Platforms: Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari (current versions) · Windows, macOS, Linux and ChromeOS · No installation, no account, no upload
Limits: Equal-sized groups in the power tools; dose–response assumes independent replicates and constant variance
Licence: Free during the public preview; institutional licences on request

Documentation

Quick start

Open Lab Studio
Use the button on this page or the Workbench menu. Nothing to install; works in current Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari.
Load data or the demo
Drop in your files (Plate CSV (long or wide), Dose–response CSV, Standard-curve CSV) or load the labelled synthetic demo to explore safely.
Run and inspect
Results appear as interactive figures and tables; each analysis records its parameters and versions.
Export and cite
Export figures and tables, add them to a report, and copy the auto-written methods paragraph.
