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.
Labelscape
This app helps clinical sites and labs generate and print labels for biological specimens and kits. It supports various barcode formats and allows for custom data fields, eliminating the need for specialized printing equipment.
- Flexible barcode support
- Customizable label templates
- LDMS integration
- Save paper feature
- Custom data fields
- No special equipment needed

Labelscape lets clinical sites and laboratories create and print labels for biological specimens, kits, and more. It is designed to work with readily available printing supplies, without the need for specialized laboratory label printing equipment. Flexible barcode support: Labelscape has out-of-box support for several common barcode formats, and you can create your own to encode the data that needs to be scanned. Templates: Create sets of labels for common visits, with details already filled in. Integration with LDMS: For laboratories using LDMS® by Frontier Science Foundation, Labelscape can provide labels that can be scanned directly into LDMS. Save Paper: Use the "start at" feature to quickly start printing on a partially used sheet of labels. Custom Data: New fields can be added to labels to meet your project-specific needs. No Special Equipment: Labelscape lets you use readily available printers and label paper.
