Antibiograms vs MyGels
Price, ratings, monetisation and update history for both apps, side by side — with what reviewers say about each.
Antibiograms
This app provides healthcare professionals with local antibiotic susceptibility data to guide empirical treatment of infections. Users can select bacteria and patient groups to view antibiotic effectiveness based on local laboratory testing.
- Local susceptibility patterns
- Select bacterium and patient group
- View antibiotic effectiveness
- Download and switch databases
- Customizable drug/organism fields
- Distribute databases via email

Antibiograms help healthcare professionals and clinical microbiologists choose the most effective antibiotics to empirically treat infections, based on local susceptibility patterns. Now this valuable information can be available to them on iPhone/iPad mobile devices. With the Antibiograms app, you simply select a bacterium, select a patient group, and you are given the proportion of susceptible organisms for each antibiotic tested in your local laboratory. Features: - download multiple databases and switch between them quickly and easily - customizable fields for each drug or organism, which can be populated with treatment recommendations, drug dosing and costing information, or clinical alerts specific for your hospital/health region - easy to update by emailing new databases to users To learn how to create an Antibiograms database for your laboratory, hospital, or health region, contact our support. You can distribute your database via email, and then open it in this app. DISCLAIMER: This app has been developed for use by qualified healthcare professionals only.

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.
