A visual discovery environment for students, educators, and businesses alike, Argos is designed for everyday data analysis, especially analysis of large and complex data sets. It runs on 32-bit and 64-bit Linux and Microsoft Windows (XP or newer).
The Software Support Plan entitles you to upgrade to any new releases of Argos as well as obtain any software patches while it is in effect. For any new Argos releases obtained while the Software Support Plan is in effect, previously purchased licenses will still be good forever.
Should your Software Support Plan expire, any new Argos releases you download will automatically revert back to Argos Junior. However, you will still be able to use your older releases with full Argos capabilities after your Software Support Plan expires.
Software Support Plans can only be renewed while you have a valid Software Support Plan. One year of a Software Support Plan is worth $30. The Chi-Square Works, Inc. will contact you to renew your Software Support Plan 30 days before it expires.
Developed for use by scientists and researchers to meet the rigors of science and industry, Panmo comes with an expanded set of fully-featured analytical, graphical, and presentation tools.
Panmo runs on 32-bit and 64-bit Linux and Microsoft Windows (XP or newer).
Optional modules are available to Microsoft Windows versions of Panmo and provide functionality for analyzing automatic microscopy data (or HCS in short) and FLIPR data. We offer these modules for Linux by special request only. Please contact us for details

Optional modules are available to work with Panmo to analyze automatic microscopy and FLIPR data. These modules are fully integrated with Panmo to form a synergistic data exploration and analysis environment.
Automatic microscopy, also known as high-content screening or HCS, produces heterogeneous, multivariate, big and messy data with lots of "junk" mixed in. Panmo is perfectly suited to sift through such data and its vast mines of information.
Three modules are available to work with Panmo:
With multiple plates of kinetic FLIPR data, there can be a plate-to-plate variability with regards to the "average" response. If this variability is large, it can obviously adversely affect the clustering of the FLIPR data.
The FLIPR module is designed to normalize a set of FLIPR data by taking out this plate-to-plate variability.
