Abstract
In recent years, numerous studies attempted to demonstrate the feasibility of using live cell cultures as units of information processing. In this context, it is necessary to develop both hardware and software tools to facilitate this task. The later part is in the aim of this paper. It presents a complete software suite to design, develop, test, perform and record experiments on culture-based biological processes of living cells on multi-electrode array in a reliable, easy and efficient way.
