Bio-Rad Laboratories has launched the Redfin 2D gel analysis service that both novice and expert researchers can use for professional analysis of 2D gel electrophoresis experiments.
The Redfin 2D analysis service uses a downloadable software interface that researchers can use to quickly generate 2D gel images.
Then a team of Redfin 2-D gel analysis experts analyse the uploaded images and return the results to the researcher.
With Redfin 2D analysis service, researchers no longer need to manually count and align spots on their gels.
Redfin helps researchers who are getting started with 2D analysis, providing them with guidance through the process as well as giving additional confidence in their final results.
'With the pay-as-you-go nature of the service, Redfin analysis is a low-risk way for researchers to get started in 2D gel experiments,' said Katy McGirr, product manager, lab separations division at Bio-Rad.
The image analysis by Redfin professionals consists of spot detection and segmentation, and spot matching, as well as quantification and normalisation.
The service ensures that the spot detection process is objective and unbiased and offers consistently reproducible results across multiple experiments.
