Visualize Lineage Trees Across Generations
See the full propagation history of any genetic line at a glance. ExplantFlow automatically builds interactive lineage trees showing parent-child relationships across generations. Pinch to zoom, tap to inspect any node, and track genetic stability, phenotypic drift, and sport mutations with color-coded indicators.
Formulate Precise Media Recipes
Design tissue culture media with scientific precision. Choose from built-in basal salt formulations — MS, WPM, Knudson C — and fine-tune phytohormone concentrations for auxins (NAA, IBA, 2,4-D), cytokinins (BAP, Kinetin, TDZ, meta-Topolin), and gibberellins (GA3). Toggle between mg/L and µM instantly. ExplantFlow calculates exact weights, molar concentrations, and stock solution volumes automatically.
Auto-Scale Formulations & Pipetting Directions
Set your target volume and ExplantFlow generates a complete preparation manifest — exact gram weights for each salt, stock solution volumes for hormones, and step-by-step pipetting instructions. Export beautifully formatted PDFs to print for the lab bench or share with collaborators.
Track Culture Batches Across Every Stage
Create and manage cultures with unique batch identifiers. Monitor each culture as it progresses through Initiation, Multiplication, Rooting, and Acclimatization stages. Instantly see how many active batches you have, their current health status, and which ones need attention.
Log Observations & Contamination Events
Every culture has a story. Log detailed observations, stage transitions, contamination events, media changes, and subculture splits over time. ExplantFlow builds a chronological journey timeline for each batch, making it easy to trace back what happened and when — essential for troubleshooting and reproducibility.
Build Your Own Chemical & Hormone Database
Keep a centralized inventory of custom salts, vitamins, phytohormones, and additives — complete with molecular weights and categories. Add new reagents and they immediately become available across all your recipes. Your chemical library grows with your lab.
Built for Scientists. Designed for the Bench.
Precise Molar Calculations
Automatic unit conversions between mg/L and µM with molecular weight awareness.
PDF & CSV Export
Export recipes, batch logs, and lineage trees as formatted PDFs for publications and lab records.
