Conspecta is a platform for life science research. Image analysis, flow cytometry, molecular biology, sample tracking, and publication-ready figures all live in one connected workspace. Each result is linked to where it came from. A sample links to the images taken of it and the results that came out of them, and each figure panel links to the analysis that produced it. Trace any number back to its source and the whole chain is already there. WORK TOGETHER • Write and review a page together, live • Build the figure together, on live data • Share a project with the people you choose • See who changed every record and when, and ask a colleague to review and approve any result ANALYZE • Imaging: build pipelines for the data you collect • Flow cytometry: gate a panel once, reuse it every run • Genetics: design primers, pick guides, plan the clone RECORD AND SHARE • Notebook: the notebook that links to everything else • Protocols: from a written method to a recorded run • Sheets: the spreadsheet your results go into • Figures: add a replicate and the figure redraws • Reports: your project's progress, in live numbers RUN THE LAB • Samples: where it came from, and what came of it • Facility: find any sample, book any instrument • Inventory: what's left, where it is, what's on the way • Orders: requests, orders, and receipts in one place • Planner: who's doing what, when, and where • Contacts: vendors, cores and collaborators in one list AT THE BENCH • Scan a label to open the sample, item, or freezer box it belongs to • Named timers and multi-step sequences on the lock screen, in the Dynamic Island, and on Apple Watch • Thirteen calculators, from dilutions and buffer recipes to master mixes and transformation efficiency, plus a unit converter with 31 categories
