The apps below provide tools for specimen pooling. The R statistical software is the underlying calculation environment through the use of its Shiny package. No knowledge of R or its Shiny package is needed for these apps.

• A Shiny app for pooled testing - This app helps laboratories determine the efficiency, complexity, and best pool sizes for pooling specimens.
• A Shiny app for multiplex group testing - App described in the paper "Array testing with multiplex assays" that appeared in Biostatistics. It is best to read the paper prior to using the app.

We recommend bookmarking www.chrisbilder.com/app rather than their "shinyapps.io" locations (RStudio webserver) for these apps.
