Quantification of bands

Question: 

Is it possible to perform quantification studies in GelCompar II with the combination of the Basic Software and the Cluster Analysis module?

Answer: 

The combination of the GelCompar II Basic Software with the Tree and Network Inference module offers 1-D quantification tools: when you have defined bands in the gel edit window, and specified molecular weights for the reference system, including a regression curve, you can create the following quantification reports:

  • In step 4 of the gel edit window, click on a band, and you will see the molecular weight in the bottom status bar, between brackets.
  • You can export or print a quantification report of your gel by choosing File > Export report. Next to the position of the bands in each lane, you can see the molecular weight, the height and the relative 1D surface of each band.
  • In a comparison window, display the patterns with their bands and select File > Export bands. A report for the selected patterns is created, including for all bands the relative band positions and their molecular weights, when defined.

However, many more 1-D and 2-D quantification tools become available when you have the Quantification module.
