Pilus

Python toolbox for working with BactoBox® data files on your computer

Pilus is an open-source Python package that turns your BactoBox® data files into something you can load, analyze, and plot. It reads the binary formats your BactoBox® produces — BDR file and IQS file — and converts them to friendlier formats such as summary.csv.

This is an advanced feature. We only support advanced features through a custom solution. Contact SBT for details.
