As a service for all users of the FACS Core Facility, the facility has subscribed for a license of "EasyPanel", which is a very helpful Automated and Intelligent Panel Designer that can design panels of up to 40 colors in seconds. 

If you register with your au e-mail (.au.dk) you will get free access to this tool. When you register as an Aarhus University user, the software knows our instruments and their configurations including the Agilent Novocytes, the ID7000 and the BigFoot.

Search tools for antibodies

Biocompare enables you to search over 3 million antibodies from hundreds of antibody suppliers quickly and easily. Searches can be based on several experimental variables such as target antigen, species reactivity, host, conjugate or application. Compare antibodies from different companies side by side to find the one that best suits your research needs. 

Antibody quality

ASCEND by BenchSci uses AI and machine learning to screen open and closed access publications and display published figures with no commercial bias.

Searches can be based on several experimental variables such as target antigen, clone, reactivity, application etc.

Peer reviewed panels
