* Sunset Policy for Older Releases: As a customer, you understand that support for aging products is not indefinite and that the new features, enhancements and bug fixes in upgraded releases will improve their efficiency, competitiveness and compatibility with the latest versions of operating systems. Applied Maths will support the latest two major versions of its active software packages and all intermediate minor versions. To be eligible for free technical product support, customers must always mention their product serial number and be running a supported release of BioNumerics or GelCompar II. Customers who have older versions of the software are encouraged to contact us as soon as possible. While we do not support obsolete versions, we do not want any customer left behind, nor do we want them to be forced to upgrade under pressure when some incompatibility occurs.
Our customers say
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.

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
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
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
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 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 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
BioNumerics is very powerful and easy to use. Everything is possible with the software because of the great support and custom made solutions of the Applied Maths team. We mainly use the system to analyze AFLP and SSR fingerprints. In the future next-gen sequence data will be analyzed as well. We can highly recommend BioNumerics to anyone.
Dr. Hedwich Teunissen
Naktuinbouw, The Netherlands
The BioNumerics package is an indispensable tool for us to analyze nearly all of our experiments.
Torsten Semmler
Institute of Microbiology and Epizootics, Veterinary Faculty, Freie Universität Berlin, Germany
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
BioNumerics is a very impressive piece of software. It takes some effort to learn to use it, but it produces excellent results. It is clear that Applied Maths has taken and continues to take considerable care in the development of their software.
Dr. Michael Cooley, Research Geneticist
USDA-ARS
We have been using GelCompar II for all our fingerprint analysis. We are really impressed with the technical support at Applied Maths. E-mails are detailed and answer all our questions very well.
Drs. Isha Katyal
Department of Veterinary Microbiology, WCVM, University of Saskatchewan, Canada
ALWAYS very good support via internet. Replies are very quick and can almost always figure out our issues.
Carri Fisher

BioNumerics has been indispensable in our lab. No other software allows us similar flexibility as a database and analysis tool.
Dijar Lutz-Carrillo, Geneticist
Texas Parks & Wildlife Department - A.E. Wood Laboratory
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
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
BioNumerics is absolutely indispensable in our everyday work. It ensures complete data integration, systematization and traceability. It also provides a number of great tools and options for comprehensive data analysis and presentation.

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
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 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
BioNumerics has been an excellent tool for the epidemiological analysis of bacterial pathogens isolated from humans and animals. We hope Applied Maths will continue to provide optimal and fast answers as has been the case so far.

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.
