Analyze Image
Once a “clean” image is available, you can use Quantity One to gather and
analyze your data. In the case of 1-D gels, the software has tools for
identifying lanes and defining, quantifying, and matching bands. Volume
tools allow you to easily measure and compare the quantities of bands, spots,
or arrays. The colony counting controls allow you to count the number of
colonies in a Petri dish, as well as perform batch analysis.
Qualitative and quantitative data can be displayed in tabular and graphical
formats.
Report Results
When your imaging and analysis are complete, you can print your results in
the form of simple images, images with overlays, reports, tables, and graphs.
You can export your images and data to other applications for further
analysis.
1.5 Computer Requirements
This software will run on a PC as a Windows 98, NT 4.0, or 2000 application,
or on a Macintosh PowerPC.
The amount of computer memory required for using the program is mainly
determined by the file size of the images you will scan and analyze. Images
scanned at high resolution can be quite large. For this reason, we recommend
that you archive images on a network file server or removable storage media.
