MyGels turns a photo of your gel into quantitative results. Annotate, analyse and organise protein and DNA gels and blots, including SDS-PAGE, agarose gels and western blots, on your iPhone or iPad. HOW IT WORKS • Snap a picture of your gel and crop it to the region you want, with perspective correction. • MyGels recognises lanes and bands automatically. You can adjust them by hand. • Mark a lane as your molecular weight marker to calibrate the gel, and read off molecular weights in kDa. • Tap a lane to see its intensity profile with detected peaks. Tap a peak to see band area and molecular weight. RESULTS YOU CAN USE • Quantify bands, with baseline correction. • Export annotated gels, plots of your bands of interest, and all the raw data for analysis in third-party software. • Add titles and keywords so you can find your gels again. MyGels keeps your gels as files, so it's easy to organise them and keep track of your experiments, and puts your results at your fingertips.

About

Test Strip Analyzer

Features
Read full description

Test Strip Analyzer is a quick and easy way to read and track the results of your lateral flow test strip. The analyzer detects the presence or absence of the test line to determine if a test is positive or negative. If the test is invalid (indicated by a missing control line) then the test will be classified as inconclusive. Additional functionalities are available on the Test Strip Analyzer App, including tracking and recording of operator name, location, date, time, and sample type and appearance. The sample information, raw images, and end result are stored in the App until exported. Advanced export options are available.
