What changed,
and when.

These tools are in active development, so a number can move between versions when a bug is fixed. This is the public record of that, and the reason the version belongs in your methods section.

This list is generated from the same source the product itself shows under Last updates, so the two cannot drift apart. It was built on 2026-10-02.

Writing up work you did earlier? Take the version from the analysis file or from the tool's top bar rather than from the top of this page, and see how to cite.

TwistPlot

  • 7.1.1 30 Sep 2026The sheet tabs hang from one baseline that runs the whole banner, the open sheet attached to the page.
  • 7.1.0 30 Sep 2026Mark after mark: the drawn animation can reveal every point, bubble or bar in turn, in the direction chosen, alone or group after group. The sheets of a workbook are a banner of tabs at the top of Data › Source, and switching sheet stays on Data. Home is the first button of the top bar.
  • 7.0.0 30 Sep 2026Version numbers restart from 7.0: the first digit for a new generation of the app, the second for a delivery that adds something, the third for fixes. In this one: the sheets of a workbook are tabs under the table, like a spreadsheet, and the All graph types sample opens on Data to pick one. More columns in Graph type opens in place. A graph on a Figure page (and the graph opened alone) is resized by any edge. The legend on a graph and the IC50 box move with the arrow keys or the mouse. The Animation settings live in the panel on the right, the player keeps its ⚙; smoother GIFs (20 or 25 images a second) that last exactly what the preview shows; pause and Space fixed; a filled play icon. A Home button in the top bar brings back the start screen.
  • 6.42.0 30 Sep 2026Animation on a Figure Maker page too: the page shown animates, plays and saves like the Mosaic (GIF, MP4, WebM, interactive HTML). The player answers the keyboard (Space, arrows, Home, Esc) and gets a Cancel while a file is being drawn. Saving is quicker: the fonts are embedded once and an image held on screen is sent once.
  • 6.41.0 30 Sep 2026Smoother animations, with more settings. Stepping through a column now glides from one level to the next (a point moves, a column grows, a line extends) on axes that no longer jump, and the current level is written on the graphs. The drawing can go in any direction, graph after graph or group after group, with a pace, a hold at the end and a loop. Every setting sits in one window, opened from the ⚙ of the player, which also gains a Save ▾ menu: GIF, MP4, WebM or an interactive HTML page, in standard or high quality.
  • 6.40.0 30 Sep 2026All graph types: a sample workbook with one sheet per graph type, each sheet already set up on its graph. The legend title and the legend entries select and format separately; a bold or italic legend title shows as such on the graph and in the export.
  • 6.39.0 30 Sep 2026Draw the graphs: the animation reveals the whole figure from left to right, the curves are drawn as if by hand, points and error bands appear with the pen, saved as GIF, MP4, WebM or interactive HTML. A fifth sample table, Bubbles, opens on the bubble plot.
  • 6.38.0 30 Sep 2026Interactive preview (the cursor icon): hover a mark for its values, click a legend entry to fade its group. Export ›.html: a self-contained interactive page of the figure, frames included. Animation: one frame per level of a column, a player under the figure, saved as GIF, MP4 or WebM by R and ffmpeg.
  • 6.37.0 30 Sep 2026Bubble plot: the area of each point follows a third numeric column (Size by), with a size legend and Largest, Smallest, Outline settings.
  • 6.36.0 30 Sep 2026The Figure toolbar is one row, like the bar of a text editor: text controls first, then the figure, the zoom and the magnifier on the right. The text of a title, an axis title or the legend title is typed in the panel on the right, where the selected element is named. In a narrow window the secondary text settings sit behind ⋯.
  • 6.35.0 29 Sep 2026Twenty-seven colour ramps with a gradient preview, for heatmaps and coloured dots. The colour bar and its labels stay inside the frame. The side panel of a heatmap shows only heatmap settings; a heatmap no longer gets a legend of its row names.
  • 6.34.0 29 Sep 2026Heatmap look: gap between cells, rounded corners, your own gradient (low, middle, high), outline and colour bar on or off, decimals in cells, text that turns white on dark cells.
  • 6.33.0 29 Sep 2026A table sent by another Atlascope tool can carry the graph it was showing: shape, columns on the axes, one graph per which column, axis titles and scale. CtExplorer 2.8.0 uses it, so its charts open here as the same graph.
  • 6.32.0 28 Sep 2026Fourteen more fonts in every font menu: Poppins, Source Sans Pro, Inter, Roboto, Open Sans, Lato, Montserrat, Nunito Sans, IBM Plex Sans, Noto Sans, Calibri, Source Serif Pro, Merriweather and Roboto Mono. They look the same on every computer and in every export, PDF and PNG included.
  • 6.31.0 27 Sep 2026Apply to all… in the text bar: one text's bold, italic, font, size and colour on every graph title, axis title, tick label or legend. Graph and axis titles move with the arrow keys. The letter of a graph can be typed by hand. A graph from another table follows the filters of its own table.
  • 6.30.0 26 Sep 2026The table in use named in a band under the toolbar, on every tab. The length of the axes in centimetres. A graph or a page saved as SVG or PNG in one click, from the right-click menu or the top of Export.
  • 6.29.0 26 Sep 2026Click a column name in Data for its type and an Excel-style filter: tick the groups to keep, or type bounds. A table you add goes through Data and Graph type, then Add to your figure brings its graphs onto the page you are composing; figure pages show whatever table is selected.
  • 6.28.0 26 Sep 2026One figure, several tables: on a Figure page, put graphs built on another table next to those of the current one, each with its own data, axes and legend, numbered T1, T2... by table. The tables of the session in cards at the top of the Data panel. Side panels you can widen or narrow with the mouse.
  • 6.27.0 25 Sep 2026A new home screen: the ways in, your recent work and the sample tables on one page. A text bar that never changes shape, with the Gap between a title and what it names and the Letters of the graphs. A precise selection frame, one part at a time, on the Mosaic and on Figure pages; brackets clicked one by one on the graph; a handle to lengthen or shorten an axis with the mouse. A palette menu.
  • 6.26.0 24 Sep 2026Four sample tables, one per task: a wide export to reshape, box plots, an evolution over time and a radar. A reshaped table opens as one graph per measure, with the condition on the X axis. Click a layer to open that graph on its own, on the Mosaic as on a Figure page.
  • 6.25.0 24 Sep 2026Click a part of the graph and the panel on the right shows its settings, and only those: the title, an axis title, the axis labels, the legend, the marks. A tilted X label takes the room it needs under the axis, in the export too. Tick marks on an axis of categories. A Figure page splits into a grid with Layout, 2 x 2, 3 x 2....
  • 6.24.0 24 Sep 2026Graph type in two halves: the shapes on the left, the setup of the graph on the right, with the columns written on the preview and the graphs that One graph per will make (pages 3.1 to 3.3). Tableau 10 is the default palette.
  • 6.15.0 23 Sep 2026Export one graph or one page on its own: right-click it, Export this graph or Export this page.
  • 6.14.0 23 Sep 2026Right-click any part of the figure for what it can do: a graph, a mark, a bracket, the legend, a letter, a text or an image on a page.
  • 6.12.0 23 Sep 2026The colour and the width of the frame and of the grid, in Whole graph › Look › Frame and grid.
  • 6.10.0 23 Sep 2026Add the stats sentence in the caption of a Figure page writes the tests used. The arrow keys move a selected bracket up or down, and Delete hides the selected element.
  • 6.6.0 22 Sep 2026The home screen lists the work to pick up where you left off: the files opened on this computer and the sessions of your account, side by side.
  • 6.4.4 22 Sep 2026Double-click a title, a subtitle or an axis title to type in place, on the graph.
  • 6.4.1 22 Sep 2026Undo says what it undoes. Keyboard: Cmd/Ctrl+0 fits the page, Cmd/Ctrl + and − zoom, Tab goes to the next graph, Escape clears the selection.
  • 5.13.0 21 Sep 2026Palettes of your own: a name and your colours, kept on your account and inside the figure.
  • 5.9.0 21 Sep 2026The legend runs horizontally or vertically, on any side of the figure.
  • 5.8.0 20 Sep 2026Copy look: copy the text, colours, marks, frame or legend of one graph to others, or save the look as a preset of your own.
  • 5.7.2 18 Sep 2026Save asks where the session goes: your Atlascope account, or a .twp file. Open asks the same.
  • 5.6.0 15 Sep 2026Import a GraphPad Prism .pzfx project: one entry per data table, each already tidy, roles set from the table type.
  • 5.5.6 15 Sep 2026Same y scale on all graphs; a t-test or Mann-Whitney can be chosen on more than two groups and runs pairwise.
  • 5.4.0 7 Sep 2026A table can arrive from another Atlascope tool: CytoMix and Sorbet send their results straight into TwistPlot.

Sorbet

  • 2.8.4 18 Sep 2026Save asks where the analysis goes: your Atlascope account, or a .sorbet file. Open asks the same.
  • 2.7.8 8 Sep 2026Cubic spline model; dilution presets including × 101 for urine; report in any unit with a free factor; leave a reading out and back in (pages 2.3, 3.1, 3.2).
  • 2.7.7 7 Sep 2026Save a curve and read another run with it, from the account or a .sorbetcurve file.
  • 2.7.6 7 Sep 2026Several plates in one analysis, with standards borrowed from another plate; a Plaquo plan imported or opened from the account; conditions and timepoints painted on the plate or read from the well names, and carried to TwistPlot (pages 2.5 to 2.8).
  • 2.7.2 7 Sep 2026Competitive assays converge; Logit-Log and Log-linear models.
  • 2.7.0 7 Sep 2026Graph in TwistPlot on the results card sends the concentrations to TwistPlot.

CtExplorer

  • 5.1.1 1 Oct 2026The graph panels sit on white instead of beige, in the app and in the exported figures and reports.
  • 5.1.0 1 Oct 2026The common top bar is back: the screens Import, Curves, Results, Quality and Primers as buttons in the top bar, as in CytoMix, with New, Open, Save, Export and help on the right; under it, one tool bar per screen with its options (plate colour, X scale, chart type, order of the groups, chart options, Next to check, chemistry) and the next action with Settings at its right end. The settings panel on the right still folds. A lighter look: white panels, thin rules, fewer grey boxes and pills.
  • 5.0.0 1 Oct 2026The settings in a panel on the right that folds with Settings, screen by screen, to give the whole width to the data. A quieter look: flat tiles, notes as a thin coloured rule, a 96-well plate that no longer fills the screen.
  • 4.1.1 1 Oct 2026Amplification curves: wells the instrument recorded without a target or a sample (empty wells) no longer make a first, empty panel.
  • 4.1.0 1 Oct 2026Build a report: Export › Report… opens a dialogue to tick what goes in the PDF (run summary, plate map, quality checks, expression chart, what it means, tables, methods, primer design), with a title and notes; the choice is remembered. On the Quality tab the rail lists the six checks with their verdict; click one to jump to it. Water and not-detected samples can be hidden from the filters; Exclude hidden from the statistics re-runs the analysis at once. Numeric column headers align with their numbers.
  • 4.0.1 1 Oct 2026The heatmap shows the missing samples too: a grey cross and “n.d.” in the cell of a group that gave no Cq, a red symbol with the Cq when a control amplified. The Quality page no longer ends on a blank band, and jumping to a section scrolls the page only.
  • 4.0.0 1 Oct 2026Plate map: your plate as the instrument saw it, in Import (coloured by target, sample, group or Cq), in Results (coloured by the result, the Cq or the Sample check) and in Quality (the verdict), with the sample, target and Cq on hover (pages 2.1, 4.3, 4.4). Import and Results as cards: plate map, run summary and table; Expression with its settings in its header, What it means, Plate, Statistics, Per sample. Quality sections are cards too.
  • 3.4.1 1 Oct 2026Every sample of the plate shows on the Results chart: not detected (grey symbol), control that amplified (red symbol, at its Cq when the axis is Cq), no reference Cq (grey, the reason in the tooltip). Ascending and descending order sort numbers as numbers (1, 2, 10). No horizontal scrolling at the width of the hub frame: narrower rail, tables that wrap and drop their secondary columns.
  • 3.4.0 1 Oct 2026Results on one page: the chart, what it means, quality at a glance, the statistics and the per-sample table, with a summary row that scrolls to each. Quality opens on six status cards with a sentence each; checks with nothing to show are folded. Order of the groups (A→Z, Z→A, by value, file order) applied to the chart, the tables, the filters and the rail; order of the samples on the amplification curves, by name or by Cq (page 4.3, 4.4).
  • 3.3.0 1 Oct 2026Not detected samples (Undetermined, water, NTC) drawn at the foot of their group on the Results chart with a symbol of your choice, a box to hide them, and named in the reading sentence.
  • 3.2.0 30 Sep 2026Primer design opens on a table of the candidate assays (probe Tm, primer Tm, amplicon, pair QC); click one to jump to its oligos and sequence map. The PDF report follows the new look, adds the groups, the reading sentence, a per-group table and the comparisons written “Ctrl vs LPS”, and is about fifty times lighter.
  • 3.1.0 30 Sep 2026Per sample and Statistics easier to read: a colour dot per group (the chart's colours), the comparison written “Ctrl vs LPS”, significance as a pill, rows sorted by target then adjusted p. The import report opens on a run summary in tiles: file, wells, targets, standards, samples, NTC, plates, instrument flags. Three standard curves share one row when the screen allows.
  • 3.0.1 30 Sep 2026Download and TwistPlot as labelled buttons on every card, one colour per group on the chart, the groups and their sample counts under Control group, the chart fades when a setting changed until you run again, Enter in the settings panel runs the step.
  • 3.0.0 30 Sep 2026The workspace redone: the three steps in a row under the top bar with the next action always at the top right, the settings of the current step alone in the settings panel, the column roles on the table itself, the chart options and filters above the chart, a reading sentence under the chart and a counter on the Quality tab, a full-width drop zone with the recent files. Same look as the hub and Plaquo.
  • 2.9.0 29 Sep 2026Sample check at the top of the Quality page: failed samples (no Cq, no reference), samples to check (replicates, missing wells, late Cq, instrument flags, odd in their group, NTC amplified), also in the import report and the PDF.
  • 2.8.0 29 Sep 2026i icons on every setting, tab and Quality section, with a plain-words Glossary behind the ? button. Shown on the chart: hide targets, groups or samples from the chart, optionally from the analysis. TwistPlot receives the complete data and opens the same graph.
  • 2.7.0 29 Sep 2026Download and TwistPlot on every card and Quality section, tables in SVG too. Log Y axis for bars, readable ticks on small relative quantities. Amplification curves: a tooltip under the mouse with well, sample, Cq and instrument flags.
  • 2.6.0 29 Sep 2026Compare samples without a control group: Cq, ΔCt or 2^−ΔCt, statistics on every pair of groups. Ignore Cq above cut-off. Amplification curves: filter by sample, hover lights the well on every target.
  • 2.5.0 29 Sep 2026QuantStudio exports read as they come: metadata block set aside, Results sheet chosen, Omit wells left out, instrument flags explained. Amplification curves section on the Quality page, from the Amplification Data sheet.
  • 2.4.3 18 Sep 2026Save asks where the analysis goes: your Atlascope account, or a .ctx file. Open asks the same.
  • 2.0.1 7 Sep 2026Open in TwistPlot on the Chart tab.
  • 1.12.0 7 Sep 2026Quality on one scrolling page with four sections: reference genes, technical replicates, melt curves, plates and runs.
