Gel-Pro Analyzer's powerful functions are organizedaccording to the typical steps you take whenperforming an experiment. That means the learningcurve is dramatically shortened, so you'll be able toput the power of Gel-Pro to work for you quickly. You can digitize your existing Polaroids and x-ray film, or acquire gel images easily from cameras and scanners. Comprehensive file format and device support, including TWAIN scanners, extend compatibility between Gel-Pro and your other applications and devices. Gel-Pro will then automatically identify lanes and bands, and instantly graph the optical density or the emitted fluorescence of one, some, or all of the bands in the lanes. It also calculates relative mass and molecular weights. Gel-Pro Analyzer is flexible enough for you to doany or all of the following: Create a new experimental record or recall a saved one.

Rotate an image to correct accidental skewing that may have occurred in the process ofscanning the gel. Correct the slant of bands to compensate for any non-uniform migration of the lanes. Adjust or correct the background to compensate for uneven intensities and irregularities due to uneven lighting, imperfect gels and high background, non-uniform camera response, or minor optic imperfections. Select from a database of pre-deflned molecular standards or define your own in terms of base pairs (DNA), bases (RNA), or Kilodaltons (proteins). Normalize results based on actual loaded quantities. Annotate experiments or images with your onw lab notes. Archive information relating to specific experiments and record parameters for future repetition. Create reports automatically, depending on the options selected.
