Innovative gel analysis software
Syngene has launched its new GeneDirectory gel data storage and analysis software, which rapidly and automatically compares thousands of bands from different gels
GeneGnome is the first of a new kind of automated imaging system that is faster and offers greater convenience than using photographic film.
It uses a highly sensitive electronic CCD camera to capture images and sophisticated software algorithms to analyse those images.
GeneGnome is allowing scientists world-wide to study proteins stained with chemiluminescent dye and is ultimately helping to develop new drugs, prevent crop disease and carry out essential research.
Paul Ellwood, Syngene's divisional manager said: "We are delighted to have been selected for such a major European award. Request free introductory details about products from Syngene ...
Automating the processes needed to capture and analyse often very irregular and distorted protein patterns is in itself a considerable achievement, so to have the GeneGnome technology recognised by independent IT experts is a great testimony to its excellence.".
