Please do not distribute any files. The software and data are provided under confidentiality between PUCL and you. Please respect this. Email JPR if you have problems (jpr@flowcyt.cyto.purdue.edu)

The current PlateAnalyzer demonstration page is here

Please download or use the link above and go to Youtube to view the following files.

I suggest you play the tutorials while playing with the files. This way you can follow along with the tutorial. There are more basic tutorials at our EDUCATION page, Tutorials. They may be helpful.

PlateAnalyzer Programs - there are three files - the main file is platAn.exe, there is an INI file which records your file history, and your license file. All three files must be in the same directory. These are coded for your use only. You may use as many copies as you want for your lab use, on as many computers as you want, but they will all be coded with your name. If you want a collaborator to have a copy please send JPR an email.

Download the parameters and plate layout files and I suggest you create a directory to identify them as such.

The following are demo movies showing PlateAnalyzer operating on both regular and CyTOF (see below)  data.

Standard Demonstrations of Drug Screening Data

1. Try this first:   An Introduction (coming from Youtube)to PlateAnalyzer (3 min) This is a 3.5 minute outline of what Plate Analyzer can do (off our server) This shows the general operating features. It's a good place to start. (44meg)

2. Some general videos on PlateAnalyzer (37 sec) comprehensive data management and analysis tool. This is mostly drug screening.

3.  Some nice features - Create a new Parameter  (75 Sec)

4. Save graphics from PlateAnalyzer to Word or PPT (33 Sec)

5. So how fast is PlateAnalyzer? Open it, close it, analyze it! (60 sec)

6. New features March 2012 - tracing the analysis pathway

8. SMILES codes read for drugs see YOUTUBE

9.  New DRUGBOX Controls features YOUTUBE

10. Export CSV data files YOUTUBE

11. Dealing with Empty Wells YOUTUBE

12. 40 PLUS parameter data CyTOF analysis YOUTUBE

13. Autowell finder-extracting single wells from large files YOUTUBE

Full Plate Examples for Drug Screening - Dose Response

• Example plate 58 - 384 well plate with JC-1 (ZIP file unzip to use)
• Example plate 65 - 384 well plate with Redox (Zip file unzip to use)

Parameter & Plate Layout

Example drug concentration CSV file (use for plates 58 & 65)

Example PAP file for Plate 58 (simple layout)

Example PAP file for Plate 58 (advanced layout)

Drug Concentration File (CSV) for 58 and 65

Example PAP file for Plate 65 (advanced layout)

Example PAP file for Plate 65 (Very advanced layout) this layout shows how you can create an entire report in a single protocol to produce all 96 graphs.This is pretty cool!

Program Download

32 bit:

• PlatAn.exe   (the latest version of the main program)
• PlatAn.ini   (can be deleted any time but it remembers what you have done - if you have major problems and the program seems possessed, just deleted this file and start again). The main program installation is in c:/program files (x86)/PUCL/Plate Analyzer (x86 for 64 bit) and c/:program files/PUCL/Plate Analyzer (for 32bit computers). The download is to your /users/name directory (windows 7 does not allow editing files in main program directory) but the program is run from the c:/program files  directory and this is where you MUST place your LIC file.

Special Program for De-Barcoding (see tutorial) (modified Dec 2, 2011 - you can now leave in the barcoded data (check) or leave it out.

64 bit version PlateAnalyzer:

Here is the 64 bit version. This is an automatic download

1. 64 bit version: go to the download page and download the most recent dated file  Download

Platan.lic  (your license) MUST BE IN THE SAME DIRECTORY AS THE PLATAN.EXE file
