CTvox brings 3D visualization of volumetric data using volume rendering to your iOS device. Volume rendering is a visualization technique that allows intuitive and interactive exploration of 3D voxel data by selectively introducing transparency and color. Examples of 3D voxel data include (micro-)CT and MRI scans and synthetic data resulting from numeric computations.
MyGels
This app assists researchers in analyzing protein and DNA gels, such as SDS-PAGE and western blots. It automatically recognizes lanes and bands from gel images, allowing for calibration, quantification, and export of annotated results for further analysis.
- Automatic lane and band recognition
- Gel calibration for molecular weight
- Band quantification
- Export annotated gels and data
- Organize and track experimental results

MyGels helps you annotate, analyse, quantify, and organise gels or blots commonly used in molecular biology or biochemistry, such as agarose gels, SDS-PAGE, western blots, etc. Simply snap a picture of your gel, crop to the desired region and MyGels will automatically recognise lanes and bands. You can calibrate the gel to determine molecular weights, quantify bands, and export beautifully annotated gels, plots of your bands of interest, and of course all the raw data for analysis in third-party software. MyGels makes it easy to organise and keep track of your gels, makes analysis a breeze, and puts your experimental results at your fingertips.
