Syngene, a world-leading manufacturer of image analysis solutions, has announced its GeneSys software has been upgraded to include QuickQuant, a new feature for rapid band quantification analysis on blots or gels. This software, available to download free of charge to existing users of specified Syngene imaging systems, saves scientists time by allowing them to accurately analyse gels and blots at the point of image capture.

For use in Syngene’s G:BOX and GeneGnome systems, QuickQuant is ideal for scientists who need to perform rapid band quantification while they are using their imager. QuickQuant makes it easy for scientists to analyse protein or DNA down to nanogram levels as soon as they have captured their gel or Western blot images, saving them the time and effort of transferring images to other analysis packages.

QuickQuant can measure relative and actual amounts (in the presence of a known standard) of DNA and protein and up/down regulation of bands, all while using their Syngene imaging system. QuickQuant can also be utilised to show incidence values of bands, indicating samples that are “greater or less than” a specified value. All standard data is displayed on a clear calibration curve.

The new GeneSys software with QuickQuant retains all its user-friendly features such as guiding scientists through quick set-up using its vast database of lighting and filter conditions, which means capturing images of gels and blots stained with all commercial visual, fluorescent and chemiluminescent dyes is an effortless task.

Researchers wanting to find out how to download the new GeneSys image capture software with QuickQuant, should visit the Syngene website.

“Scientists often need quick results and a simple to use tool for quantifying band values,” explains Dr Martin Biggs, Divisional Manager at Syngene. “We’re excited to offer QuickQuant as an ideal addition to our GeneSys image capture package because scientists can now access this great feature, free of charge, to rapidly analyse their gels and blots, without having to leave their Syngene systems.”

G:BOX Chemi XT4
Syngene
For high performance imaging, the new generation of G:BOX Chemi gel doc systems provide the user with an extended range of applications covering fluorescence and chemiluminescence. All these systems now utilise Syngene’s groundbreaking GeneSys automatic control software. Driven from a database containing hundreds of capture protocols, full manual control is available should you wish to use it. The G:BOX Chemi series features cameras with resolutions of 4m, 6m or 9m pixels. All have cooling which reduces the small amount of electronically generated noise to produce outstanding images with minimal background interference. These new generation cameras also have higher quantum efficiencies (QE) than most, helping the system to achieve outstanding levels of sensitivity. Whether using the system for standard fluorescence applications such as DNA, or for chemiluminescence imaging, the G:BOX Chemi will give you high quality results. In addition, by using the optional LED modules users can work with a unique automated multiplexed function capable of using up to 5 channels. Other LED modules can be used to turn the G:BOX Chemi into a highly sensitive IR capture system. An edge lighting option can also be used for 2D gel capture including the use of DIGE gels. The stylish design with modular construction includes motor-driven lenses, filter wheels with the option of including a range of lighting choices for both Epi and transillumination applications. Syngene has just introduced the new high intensity HI-LEDs option for the G:BOX range, resulting in superior imaging performance for your fluorescence applications. Check the status of an image capture and access your recently captured images from any computer, smartphone or tablet on the same network as G:BOX Chemi XT4 gel doc system using the new "Status Link" feature. This is ideal for any busy laboratory. The system comes complete with unlimited copies of GeneTools analysis software.

GeneSys
Syngene
The biggest difference between a Syngene system and any other is in the way the system is controlled. At the heart of all Syngene systems is GeneSys which is an application driven control software. You can use GeneSys in either Automatic or Manual mode. It is assumed that the user will know exactly what their application is and how they have prepared their gel or blot. In Auto Mode they simply enter this information into GeneSys (or recall it from a saved configuration) and the system takes over the rest. Behind GeneSys is an extensive database which contains data relating to a very wide range of applications, eg, fluorescence, chemiluminescene and chemifluorescence.Once the imaging system has been told what sample to expect then GeneSys decides what hardware configuration is best and sets the system ready for image capture. Things like camera control, exposure time, sensitivity setting, lighting requirements, lens control, filter selection – all of this is taken care of by GeneSys. The user just has to click the ‘capture’ button and wait for the perfect image to appear. GeneSys ensures scientists can quickly capture excellent images of even complex multiplex gels.The innovative GeneSys software features large touch-screen buttons which guide users effortlessly through set-up and image capture. Each screen prompts researchers to select, for example, the type of gel or blot they are using and what it is stained with.
