Abstract_ Clonogenic assays are a useful tool to test whether a given cancer therapy can reduce the clonogenic survival of tumour cells. A colony is defined as a cluster of at least 50 cells which can often only be determined microscopically. The process of counting colonies is very extensive work and so we developed software that is able to count the colonies automatically from scanned flasks. This software is made freely available by us with a detailed description how to use and install the necessary features. Background Everyone who has already counted colonies from a clonogenic assay knows that this is hard work which takes a lot of time. Many groups have thought about an improvement of the counting system 1-8 and the cited publications certainly won t cover all attempts but no method has achieved a widespread use at all. One may ask what the reasons are. Two major reasons are certainly the .
