Gel Software

What is UN‑SCAN‑IT gel ?
The UN-SCAN-IT gel - Gel Analysis Software uses your scanner for gel densitometric analysis, and allows you to automatically analyze gel electrophoresis images. UN‑SCAN‑IT gel works with most image formats (TIFF, JPG, BMP, GIF, etc.) from any scanner, digital camera, or other image source to quantify electrophoresis gels. UN‑SCAN‑IT gel can analyze Northern blots, Ethidium Bromide gels, Agarose gels, Coomassie stains, dot blots, TLC, etc. In addition to the gel analysis features, UN‑SCAN‑IT gel also contains all the (x,y) graph digitizing features of regular UN‑SCAN‑IT.
Instead of guessing at the intensity or location of gel bands, holding gels up to a light to compare band locations and intensities, or waiting in line to use an expensive gel densitometry system... try UN‑SCAN‑IT gel. The UN‑SCAN‑IT gel software is an accurate and easy to use alternative to other gel electrophoresis software.
With UN-SCAN-IT gel - Gel Analysis Software you can...
- Turn your scanner into a gel densitometer
- Analyze TIFF, JPG, BMP, GIF, and many other image formats
- Automatically digitize lanes, segments, and dot blots
- Quantify Northern blots, Ethidium Bromide gels, Agarose gels, Coomassie stains, SDS-PAGE, etc.
- Improve accuracy and reproducibility
- Reduce the need for guesswork in gel quantifying
- Automate your gel analysis for a much lower cost than other densitometry software
- Reduce gel analysis times and increase laboratory productivity
- Determine the relative abundance and position of each band or segment within the gel
- Calibrate the image intensity to normalize results
- Save the data in ASCII and clipboard format
- Export gel data to other spreadsheet, data analysis, and graphics programs
- Digitize (x,y) graphs with all of the same features as regular UN‑SCAN‑IT

How UN‑SCAN‑IT gel Works
Although the UN-SCAN-IT gel - Gel Analysis Software has numerous options and features, the basic operation simply consists of converting an image (TIFF, BMP, JPEG, PCX, etc.) into pixel density and area values through a few simple gel analysis steps...
