Hemocytometer Sidekick vs Device Protocol Studio

Make cell counting with a hemocytometer effortless! You know the drill--time to count cells for your experiment. Get out the hemocytometer and squeaky mechanical counter, prepare your dilution, fill the chamber, then look under the scope and start pushing the lever. Get to the end of a square, write down the count, reset the counter, and repeat. Finally, try to remember the right calculation, then write down the result. What if you didn't need the squeaky counter? The scrap paper? A manual calculator? Sure, you *could* get an expensive, fancy cell counter with wasteful disposables. But why do that when a $5 app is nearly as good? Hemocytometer Sidekick eliminates those annoyances. Record one or two counters for all samples with automatic calculations (including viability, blood counter), and use the full grid or the center square. Data is saved for you, so you can record it in your notebook at your convenience. Hemocytometer Sidekick, designed from the ground up by a biologist, will make your life in the lab so much easier, that I'm giving you 10 measurements for free! Features: - Optimized for eyes-free operation (large buttons, sounds, vibration) - Use both chambers and zoom in to inner grid - Chamber types: Basic, Improved Neubauer, Bürker-Türk/Thoma, Fuchs-Rosenthal, Jessen, Spiers-Levy, Malassez, Makler - One or two counters available, plus viability and blood (RBC, WBC, Platelet) counter - Differential blood counter for many white blood cell types - Pause and sound every 100 blood cells counted - Automatic calculations - Adjustable chamber depth - Email results - Prompt support

Device Protocol Studio (DPS) is a professional communication, protocol development, and testing toolkit built for embedded developers, firmware engineers, hardware engineers, and IoT developers. Connect to real hardware, simulate virtual devices, design custom protocols, monitor live data, and build repeatable test workflows — all from your iPhone. SUPPORTED COMMUNICATION • Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) • TCP Client / Server • UDP • MQTT • WebSocket • HTTP / REST • CoAP DEVICE COMMUNICATION Connect to real devices and inspect communication in real time. • BLE scanning and connection • GATT service and characteristic exploration • Read, Write, and Notify operations • Dynamic RX / TX characteristic binding • TCP, UDP, MQTT, WebSocket, HTTP, and CoAP communication • Real-time terminal with ASCII, text, and binary workflows REAL-TIME DATA & PLOTTING Turn incoming device data into live engineering telemetry. • Multi-channel real-time plotting • Live CSV / ASCII data monitoring • High-speed data updates • Session logging and data export • Real-time RX / TX monitoring PROTOCOL DESIGNER Build and test your own communication protocols directly on your device. • Custom packet field definitions • Header and footer fields • Length and opcode fields • Payload configuration • CRC and checksum support • Custom field ordering • Reusable protocol presets VIRTUAL DEVICES Test communication workflows even when physical hardware is not available. • Built-in virtual device environment • BLE virtual device testing • TCP / UDP virtual communication • Simulated sensor data • Rapid protocol and UI verification TEST STUDIO Create repeatable communication tests for device and protocol development. • Command and response testing • Expected-response validation • Automated test sequences • Timeout and failure detection • Reusable test scenarios BUILT FOR ENGINEERS DPS is designed to reduce the number of separate tools needed during embedded and IoT development. Use one workspace to connect, inspect, design, simulate, plot, log, and test your device communication. PRIVACY-FIRST Your engineering data stays under your control. DPS is designed around local workflows without requiring external cloud synchronization for core development and testing. Whether you are debugging a BLE peripheral, testing a TCP device, designing a binary protocol, monitoring sensor telemetry, or validating command/response behavior, Device Protocol Studio gives you a portable engineering workspace directly on your iPhone.
