Welcome to the Labreador Blog
An introduction to the Labreador blog — practical guides on bioassay analysis, methodology notes, and tutorials for ELISA, dose-response, kinetic, and ecotoxicology workflows.
Welcome — and thanks for stopping by. This is the first post on the Labreador blog, so it is short and meta on purpose: no science claims yet, just a heads-up about what is coming.
What this blog is for
Labreador is a free, browser-based platform for bioassay analysis. The app already covers ELISA standard curves, IC50/EC50 dose-response fitting, kinetic group comparison, and a small suite of ecotoxicology calculators. The blog is the place where we will explain how and why behind those tools.
You can expect three kinds of posts:
- Methodology notes — short write-ups on a single concept (for example, how the 3-tier R² quality gate works, or why a 4PL is preferred over a linear fit for sigmoidal data).
- Step-by-step guides — practical walk-throughs that follow a real workflow from raw plate-reader output to a publication-ready figure.
- Release notes — when a new module or a non-trivial change ships, we summarise what changed and why it matters scientifically.
What this blog is not
It is not a replacement for primary literature. Every post will link to the references behind the methods it describes, so you can verify and cite the original sources in your own work.
