<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 />
