<strong>Gel</strong> Imaging <strong>Systems</strong><br />

Biometra offers a wide range of high performance systems for documentation and<br />

analysis of electrophoresis gels and blots. The systems are focussed on the needs of<br />

everyday imaging applications in teaching and routine laboratories as well as demanding<br />

tasks in science and research. The latest software release even more demonstrates that<br />

a highly versatile software can also be applied without any detailed training. The wellthought-out<br />

software interface allows a quick and easy professional gel analysis.<br />

Choose the perfect solution for your lab.<br />

BioDocAnalyze Software<br />

NEW! BDA-Software-Upgrade 2011<br />

BioDocAnalyze (BDA)<br />

The BioDocAnalyze (BDA) software is<br />

powerful in imaging and analysing<br />

1D electrophoresis gels and blots. The<br />

latest software upgrade introduced even<br />

some more benefits. For an easy use of the<br />

full functional range of different camera<br />

types it provides specific image capture<br />

windows for BDAdigital and BDA live.<br />

The gel analysis software is already included<br />

in BDAdigital and BDA live systems. But it<br />

can also be used on separate computers<br />

for images taken with the documentation<br />

system UVsolo TS or with other devices.<br />

The BDA software is developed for an<br />

intuitive and reliable analysis of gels and<br />

blots. Files with compatible formats jpg,<br />

tif and bmp can be imported into the BDA<br />

analysis software.<br />

Defining of lanes and bands is a matter<br />

of seconds. Clearly defined buttons for all<br />

important functions allow a complete gel<br />

analysis with a few mouse-clicks.<br />

Detected bands are not only marked with<br />

a line but are encircled in their whole area.<br />

For maximum flexibility it is also possible<br />

to encircle bands free-hand. The automatic<br />

background deduction ensures accurate<br />

scientific quantification. Normalization of<br />

bands allows a fast comparison of samples.<br />

Analysis results are displayed on the gel or<br />

in a result table which can be exported to<br />

Microsoft ® Excel. Comments, annotations<br />

and arrows can be freely added to the<br />

image in a wide range of formats.<br />

The new merging function is especially of<br />

help for analysis of chemiluminescence<br />

blots: Different images or frames and an<br />

image can be overlayed, aligned and<br />

merged. This way it is possible to add<br />

marker lanes acquired with visible light to<br />

imported images with chemiluminescence<br />

signals.<br />

Features<br />

Automatic lane and band recognition<br />

Add, delete and separate lanes and bands<br />

Optimisation of detection parameters<br />

Automatic background adjustment<br />

Automatic calculation for size/MW, mass, Rf<br />

Compensation of smiling and distorted gels<br />

Zoom and invert function<br />

Import of TIF, JPG, and BMP files,<br />

export of TIF files<br />

Data export to MS Excel<br />

Printing of images and data tables<br />

Add annotations to lanes, bands and gel image<br />

Saving of comment formats and<br />

comment samples<br />

Creating of frames<br />

Overlay and merging of gel images<br />

Simultaneous display of intensity profiles<br />

of lanes<br />

Similarity Analysis –<br />

upgrade module<br />

The standard BioDocAnalyze software can<br />

be upgraded with the Similarity Analysis<br />

Module for comparison and matching of<br />

fragment patterns.<br />

This extremely fast and easy to use<br />

software analyses fingerprint gels, e.g.<br />

RFLP patterns, with one mouse click.<br />

Features<br />

Similarity analysis according to Rf or molecular<br />

weight of bands<br />

Cluster analysis (UPGMA, Neighbour Joining)<br />

Similarity and distance matrix<br />

0/1 matrix<br />

Reference lanes, lane list<br />

Correlation coefficients<br />

Pearson, Dice, Jaccard, Cosine, Overlap<br />

Export and printing of tables and dendrograms<br />
