What is UN‑SCAN‑IT gel ?
The UNSCANIT gel - Gel Analysis Software turns your scanner into a high-speed gel densitometer and allows you to automatically analyze gel images. UN‑SCAN‑IT gel works with many image formats (TIFF, BMP, JPG, GIF, PCX, etc.) from any scanner, digital camera, or other image source to digitize electrophoresis gels. In addition to the gel analysis features, UN‑SCAN‑IT gel also contains all the (x,y) digitizing and graphing features of regular UN‑SCAN‑IT. The digitized gel and (x,y) data can also be exported into other software programs.
If you have ever had to guess at the intensity or location of gel bands, hold two gels up to a light to compare band location or intensity, or wait in line to use an expensive densitometer system, then you will find UN‑SCAN‑IT gel to be an accurate and inexpensive alternative to higher priced systems. The UN‑SCAN‑IT gel system is intuitive and easy to use...
With UN‑SCAN‑IT gel you can:
- Turn your scanner into a high-speed gel densitometer
- Analyze TIFF, BMP, JPG, GIF, PCX, and many other image formats
- Automatically digitize lanes and segments in electrophoresis gels
- Improve accuracy and reproducibility of electrophoresis gel analysis
- Eliminate the need for guesswork
- Reduce gel analysis times and increase laboratory productivity
- Automate your gel analysis procedures for a much lower cost than alternative systems
- Determine the relative abundance and position of each band or segment within the gel
- Calibrate the image intensity to normalize results
- Save data in ASCII format, and export into spreadsheet, data analysis, and graphics programs
- Digitize (x,y) graphs with all of the same features as regular UN‑SCAN‑IT
- Graph and analyze (x,y) data with all the features of regular UN‑SCAN‑IT

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