New image analysis range
Syngene is promising to unveil 'revolutionary' new image analysis systems of particular interest to molecular biologists at the Biotechnica show this year
GeneSnap version 6, available free of charge to existing GeneSnap users, is ideal for scientists using chemiluminescent samples with colorimetric markers.
It is also useful for those wanting to run fluorescent stains of contrasting colours, for example red, blue and green on the same gel.
Each individual image can be captured using different lighting conditions or filters and the software then automatically combines them, creating a single, perfect image.
The image can be saved in full colour or monochrome and can easily be transferred for further analysis to GeneTools, Syngene's powerful image analysis software.
Paul Ellwood, Syngene's sales and marketing director, commented: "Since GeneSnap generates an exact image from three different ones, it allows scientists working on DNA fingerprinting for instance, to use identical running conditions with a differently stained sample and marker run in the same well.

In fact, the new multi-plexing capabilities of GeneSnap version 6 are so versatile, they open up the potential for a whole range of applications that many scientists would have previously considered too time consuming or manually demanding to try.".
