The new 64-bit version of ImageUV™ imaging software package from CRAIC Technologies is designed to collect, analyze and process images from CRAIC microscopes and microspectrophotometers running 64-bit versions of Windows 7®.

"Our customers want to use our ImageUV™ software with the latest generation of 64-bit processors for greater speed and the ability to process larger data sets. The ImageUV-64™ software was developed in response to customer requests for a high performance package to control CRAIC digital imaging systems and to process data. ImageUV-64™ is designed to be at home both the manufacturing floor as well as those in the R&D laboratory. Two levels of access are provided to address both venues while maintaining many powerful analytical features" says Dr. Paul Martin, President.

The complete ImageUV-64™ solution combines advanced 64-bit software with the sophisticated hardware and optics of CRAIC UV-visible-NIR range microscopes. The ImageUV-64™ software allows the user to control all the digital imaging systems in CRAIC microscopes and to acquire high quality ultraviolet, color and near infrared images under any lighting conditions. The software is then used to analyze those images. Designed for the production environment as well as the laboratory, it incorporates a number of sophisticated tools for analyzing spectra. It also incorporates two modes of operation: a production level with recipe driven instrument control and data analysis in addition to a password protected engineering mode for creating those recipes and for advanced research.

Near Infrared SpectroscopyNear-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy measures the interaction of near-infrared light with a sample, including transmission, reflectance and absorbance, facilitating the identification of analytes. Measurements can be conducted using a Fourier-transform near infrared (FT-NIR) spectrometer, while there are also UV-Vis- NIR spectrophotometers that measure a broader spectrum of wavelengths. Find the best NIR spectroscopy products in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.UV-Visible SpectroscopyUltraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectrophotometers are used to measure the interaction of UV and visible light with a sample, including transmission, reflectance & absorbance. The two major instrument classes are single-beam or double-beam spectrophotometers. More specialized equipment includes colorimeters, spectroradiometers and refractometers. Portable and microvolume spectrophotometers are also available. For the modular spectroscopy lab, explore a range of light sources for combination with a spectrograph/spectrometer and optics.

Data software can be used for math and stats, technical graphing and image analysis. In addition, software is available for specific data analysis of electrophoresis, densitometry, ELISA and DNA sequencing.Gel Doc / Image AnalysisGel documentation (gel doc) or gel imaging systems are used for the analysis of proteins, antibodies and nucleic acid immobilized in polyacrylamide or agarose gels, membranes or microarrays. Explore a range of a gel imaging systems, densitometers, scanners, transilluminators or UV lamp + CCD cameras for your image analysis solutions. Colorimetric, fluorescent and/or radioisotopic samples can be visualized and documented for further analysis. See gel doc / Image analysis software for quantitative 1D and 2D analysis of your samples.
