From the project
The Wormstation Project: A fully open-source, all-in-one platform designed for ease of use and accessibility, while offering powerful, highly automated solutions for laboratory-grade biological research. Ideal for high-throughput workflows and streamlined experimental processes.
A fully open-source, all-in-one platform designed for ease of use and accessibility, yet offering powerful, highly automated solutions for laboratory-grade biological research. Wormstation is ideal for high-throughput workflows and streamlined experimental processes, particularly in C. elegans studies and other small model organisms.
- Wormstation Controller GitHub: wormstation_controller A user-friendly GUI that remotely controls the Wormstation Client software. It manages camera and LED settings, schedules recordings, and facilitates error checks or updates—all from a single interface.
