Abstract

Smartphone technology has revolutionized communication and networking throughout the world. New apps appear daily, with the potential to streamline both information gathering and sharing. It was only a matter of time before these applications would be developed and adapted for use in basic science, including cancer research laboratories. The first basic apps were designed aslab timers (e.g., LabTimer by 0x0c) and laboratory calculators, (e.g., LabCalc by iSheepSoft). These have been followed by useful apps to aid in experimental design (e.g., Light Lab by Zeiss, Antibody Search by Biocompare). For the purpose of this brief note, we will focus on two recent smartphone developments that are particularly helpful for the cancer research lab-smartphone-based photomicrographs for cancer pathology as well as a new app developed for evaluating ELISA plates.
