BioNumerics is a powerful software tool that allows our lab to participate directly in the CDC PulseNet network of public health laboratories to determine whether foodborne pathogens isolated from food in our jurisdiction are causing outbreaks of disease.
Brian D. Sauders, PhD
New York State Dept. of Agriculture & Markets
When we we began exploring use of BioNumerics for a new fingerprinting technique in the lab, both sales and support staff were extraordinarily helpful as they worked with us to develop tools to import our rather unique data into their software. I haven't experienced this level of support when working with other data analysis software companies.
Todd R. Sandrin, PhD, Associate Professor
Division of Mathematical and Natural Sciences, Arizona State University
GelCompar has been my favorite fingerprint analysis platform for the past ten years now. GelCompar has remained a user-friendly workhorse software, generating visually appealing data analyses in support of many publications. Technical support from Applied Maths is always available to solve problems quickly and efficiently when they arise. I am very pleased with GelCompar and highly recommend it to others who analyze fingerprint data from microbial communities.
Dr. Josh D. Neufeld, Assistant Professor
Department of Biology, University of Waterloo, Canada
ALWAYS very good support via internet. Replies are very quick and can almost always figure out our issues.
Carri Fisher
Agriculture and Rural Development, Food Safety, Government of Alberta, Canada
Our laboratory has been a regular user of the BioNumerics software for 15 years. We continue to be satisfied with its user-friendliness and functionality. Regular software upgrades continue to improve on its ease of use and functionality. Technical support, when needed, has been effective and convenient.

BioNumerics is the best software program available for analysis of our data.
Marleen Kock
Dept. of Medical Microbiology, Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Pretoria, South Africa
BioNumerics has been a high integrated helpful tool that has accompanied me since the beginning of my scientific career. Being very flexible and modular, it can be customized with the personal use of scripts. Overall, I can say that it is an indispensable tool in our lab.
Ricardo P. M. Dias, PhD
MicroHealth Research Group, Microbiology and Biotechnology Lab, BIOFIG, Center for Biodiversity, Functional and Integrative Genomics, Lisboa, Portugal
We have information on molecular epidemiological studies in our Mexican regions for the last 5 years and BioNumerics has been a very helpful and valuable software tool.
Dr. Antonio Enciso
Unidad de Investigacion Medica de Zacatecas, IMSS, Mexico
We have always received very rapid replies from Applied Maths to email requests for support.
Robert Ireland, PhD, Chief Clinical Laboratory Scientist
Rhode Island State Health Laboratory
Great customer support and highly knowledgeable staff.
Krishnan Kolappaswamy, Clinical Veterinarian
University of Maryland School of Medicine, Maryland
BioNumerics is an invaluable tool that has fostered collaborations we otherwise wouldn't have been able to work on. For one study we have been able to look at trends of data over a 20 year period from a completely different perspective.
Kathleen O'Shea, Research Specialist
Molecular Biology Lab New Bolton Center, Pennsylvania Animal Diagnostic Laboratory System
This user friendly software is a must for any laboratory working on molecular epidemiology.
Siva Kumar
Immunology, Tuberculosis Research Centre, Chennai, India
At SASA we maintain around 1000 varieties of potato in a living collection. We are also responsible for testing new varieties and have a database containing around 1500 varieties from all across Europe. Without BioNumerics it would be extremely difficult for us to accurately maintain this collection.
Alex Reid, Head of Genotyping
Science and Advice for Scottish Agriculture (SASA), Edinburgh, UK
We use BioNumerics for analyzing and storing data for a variety of typing methods. It allows us to store different typing data in the same database and makes it possible to use data from several typing methods for analysis as well. If we run into problems the support staff at Applied Maths are very helpful and provide excellent support. If there are issues with a function/plugin they listen to what we say and try to improve it in the next version if possible. So all in all, we are very satisfied with BioNumerics.
Dr. Marit Sorum
Staphylococcus Laboratory, Statens Serum Institut, Denmark
We are satisfied users of GelCompar II for analysis of epidemiological typing of clinically relevant bacteria and fungi.
Petr Hamal, M.D., PhD, Assoc. Professor
Department of Microbiology, Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry, Palacky University Olomouc, Czech Republic
BioNumerics empowers the users with a complete tool for state of the art data analysis of a large variety of molecular biology techniques and a powerful database system. With the new scripting capabilities in Python it provides bioinformatic developers with an excellent platform to make their algorithms available for the user community.
João André Carriço, PhD
Instituto de Microbiologia, Faculdade de Medicina, Universidade de Lisboa, Portugal
I cannot imagine being able to work with MLST without BioNumerics, although others do so. BioNumerics is one of the mainstays used by everybody in our group who is concerned with sequence diversity within species. However, efficient work with MLST data requires considerable additional scripting by informaticians.
Prof. Mark Achtman
University College Cork, Ireland
BioNumerics is an invaluable tool to manage and analyze the vast amount of data that are being generated in our laboratory.

GelCompar II is a reliable software in determining the relationship between bacteria on study.
Jesus Ulises Garza-Ramos
Diagnostico Epidemiologico, Instituto Nacional de Salud Publica, Morelos, Mexico
We started using this program when it was still GelCompar I for RFLP analysis, over GelCompar II and now BioNumerics, version 6.5 for sequence analysis, binary and character analysis, tree building etc. We find the program easy to use and highly efficient.
Dr. Philip Noel Suffys
Laboratory of Molecular Biology Applied to Mycobacteria, Oswaldo Cruz Institute, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
We have been using BioNumerics for the last several years and found it very useful for cluster analysis. The team at Ghent, Belgium and Austin, Texas is always very helpful in providing technical assistance. We are 100% satisfied with the product and support we receive.
Dr. Mueen Aslam
