Phoretix 2D was the first serious 2D Gel Analysis package for the PC without any additional image handling hardware. It is very fast and easy to use with a single interface through which all functions are accessible. There are several fully automatic facilities such as spot detection, background subtraction, measurement and spot matching between gels. All these automatic processes can be fully controlled with a range of easily understood parameter settings and there are a wide range of editing facilities that have been structured for especially for 2D gel analysis.

Entry

Ideal as a single gel analysis system. It includes all the spot detection, measurement and editing facilities of the Full product, but has no multi-gel matching facilities. It is designed for quantifying spot material and comparing spots within a single gel.

  • Analyses 8, 12 and 16 bit TIFF Images
  • Intensity Calibration
  • Profiling
  • 5 styles of background subtraction
  • Automatic spot and peak detection
  • Automatic spot measuring Adjustable detection parameters
  • Manual spot and peak editing
  • Spot measurements table
  • Selectable fields
  • Spot selection facilities
  • Spot comment marking facilities
  • Headers table (Lab Note Book)
  • Image contrast adjustment
  • Interactive zoom control
  • In-depth Help and Tutorials

Lite

Perfect for scientists who run a few 2D gels and need to compare spots between pairs of gels. It has all the functions of the Full product but is limited to two gels per experiment.

  • 2 gels per experiment
  • Manual spot matching
  • Automatic spot matching
  • 3 Match editing methods
  • Addition of spots to Reference gel
