Syngene has announced its GeneTools V4 (a) 1D gel image analysis software.
GeneTools V4 (a) includes Dice and Jaccard band matching algorithms that can automatically match bands or profiles by position, Rf value or calibrated molecular weight.
Syngene said that as each analysis takes seconds, scientists can easily apply both algorithms to their bands to find out which ones appear in both data sets and are true matches.
The company said this improves result accuracy and saves time as well as eliminating numerous confirmatory gel runs.
GeneTools V4 (a) also comes with installation support for working with Windows Vista 32 and includes a series of informative tutorials to show users how to get the most out of the software.
Laura Sullivan, divisional manager at Syngene, said: 'We are very excited about our new upgrade because it means we are pushing the boundaries of 1D image analysis to supply the time-saving features requested by many scientists.
'This latest version of GeneTools will come as standard with every new Syngene image analysis system and is also available free of charge to researchers licensed to use Syngene's GeneTools, guaranteeing rapid, yet accurate automated image analysis.'
