3.9 out of 5
App crashes with the iPadOS

NEBTools was great when it worked, but it ctashed after I updated to iPad OS

Bad interface

Great idea, but it takes so long to scroll to each enzyme in the double digest- you are better off looking it up online. Same thing with the enzyme info, you can find the info in the catalog faster! NEBTools needs the ability to type in the enzyme names to be useful in lab.

Need update for iOS 5

Keep crashing in iOS 5. No problem in iOS 4 though. Also if NEBTools icon can be upgraded to retina display quality, it will be great. Right now the high-res icon is only visible in AppStore and during installation, not after it is installed.

Nice and simple :)

Very useful lab tool

Please

Put the old buffers back!!
At this moment, since we have a lot of stock of old buffers, NEBTools is useless. This is unfortunate because NEBTools has become my best partner :)

A great update!

NEB fixed all the issues i had in the older version. Nice work!

Useful app, get it

Beats flipping through the NEB enzyme catalog by miles.

Get it

If you are in the LAB.

Great

If you work in a lab and have an iPhone, get this.

Lab necessity

I use NEB enzymes in my lab and NEBTools has proven to be an invaluable tool.

BEST SCIENTIFIC REFERENCE TOOL!!

Hands down, the BEST sidekick for all of your restriction digest needs (That is, if you use NEB enzymes) It makes figuring out double digests fun and simple to do without flipping through the catalog.

finally

been bugging NEB to release this for a few years. A wonderful and simple app that saves the pound of NEB paper from the bench. great work guys, I know that this probably required a lot more work than I think but it's incredibly useful.

Very Useful

I found NEBTools to be very useful and was perfect to quickly look up the info I needed. An iPad version would be nice though, but a great app regardless. I'd also love to see more information that can be found in the catalog/manual.

Excellent!!!!

We use all NEB enzymes in our lab, and NEBTools is awesome! I used to go online to look up enzyme info (such as activity in different buffers, optimum buffer for double digests, incubation time & temp, and whether an enzyme can be heat inactivated.) I highly recommend NEBTools if you use NEB enzymes.

Promega also has a good iPhone app worth looking at on NEBTools store.

Great for quick reference!

If you're like our lab, and not everyone has the catalogue, then NEBTools is great. When you can't find your catalogue because someone "borrowed" it... again... just pull out NEBTools !

Downsides are it's obviously not going to be as in depth as the catalogue or full online resources, but it's a quick reference guide. It's also only with the new buffers now, so if you're stocked up on buffers 1-4 then go ahead and grab the catalogue.
