Multiple open-source software are available to identify pairings for TCR alpha and beta chains or BCR heavy and light chains from bulk loading of 96-well plates. The following tools have been published and are available online:

Once alignment has been completed, the exported clonotype tables from MIXCR are used as input to the tools indicated above.
