Plate Planner
Create a valid 96-well layout without manually moving samples around.
No unsatisfied constraints on this example. Edge-well rules for a 96-well plate layout.
Spend your time on the science.Not the tooling around it.
Copper Scientific builds focused tools for the frustrating problems that slow down laboratory and bioinformatics work, so you can spend less time fighting software and more time discovering something new.
Research shouldn’t feel like this.
- Invalid sample identifier
- Error parsing row 483
- Unsupported file format
- Dependency conflict
- Why did this move sample B17?
- Works on my machine.
We build the tools that make these problems disappear.
Tools built for annoying problems.

Copper Data
A simple interface to browse, organize, upload, and download datasets in your own AWS account.
Small tools. Specific problems.
Scientific software doesn’t need another enormous platform. Sometimes you need one tool that understands your problem and solves it correctly.
We build focused software for laboratory and computational workflows: understandable in minutes, usable immediately, and designed around the science rather than the software.

Back to your research.
Your science isn’t a black box. Neither are our tools.
No silent modifications
If a change could alter scientific meaning, it is listed and left pending. Safe syntax repairs are named in the report.
Explainable output
You should know what changed and why. Exports include the software version. Same inputs, seed, and version produce the same result.
Purpose-built
Each tool understands one workflow: a 96-well plate, an Illumina index pool, a Cell Ranger FASTQ name, research data in the lab’s AWS. Not a platform.
Your data isn’t our product
The live tools parse tables in your browser. Sample lists and barcodes are not uploaded. The FASTQ renamer will run on your machine and will not open sequence bytes.
