Image Analysis Software CS Analyzer 3 for Windows
Analyzing electrophoresis and western blotting patterns.
Purpose and Application
- Analyze the signal strength and position of bands and spots on the gel and membrane
Product Summary
CS Analyzer is a versatile image analysis software for electrophoretic patterns. This software can be used not only in combination with ATTO Printgraph/E-graph gel documentation systems and LightCapture/Ez-Capture imaging system, but also with a variety of images of other sources i.e. a video camera, a image scanner, networks. It can handle various formats of images including 8 bit TIFF/BMP/JPEG or 16 bit TIFF, etc. and provides densitmetric measurement of zone/area/spot, normalization of distorted images, image conversion, and so on. CS Analyzer is included in Ez-Capture/LightCapture system.
Features
- Image analysis function
- Revision of distorsion bands pattern
- Quantitative analysis of band signal intensities

| Analyzed file | Data file analyzed by CS analyzer(.cna) | |
| Quantitative Analysis | Standard curve for molecular weight | Make standard curve from the mobility of molecular weight marker protein |
| Signal intensities | Digitization signal intensities of bands, peak detection, mobility (Zone densitometry) | |
| Deduced molecular weight | Calculate the molecular weight by standard curve Calculate the relative value of protein concentration |
|
| Quantitative methods | Zone densitometry・Area densitometry・Spot quantification (Revision of lane distortion・Background ・peak area ） |
|
| Scale setting | Setting scale (in actual size) | |
| Data Save | Save image | 8 bit image files (BMP/JPEG/TIFF) 12～16 bit image files (CCD) 16 bit image files (TIFF) 12～16 bit Chain files (cha) |
| Save text | Quantitative analysis results and peak profile data can be exported as a text files | |
| Save analyzed result | All of analyzed data can be saved as cna file | |
| Image Conversion | Shoude color | Brightness distribution of monochrome image can be displayed in dummy color. |
| Contrast display adjust | Contrast on monitor display can be changed freely without changing brightness data | |
| Absorbance convert value | Conversion function for measurement of an image such as CBB stained gel, in which absorbance becomes an index for density. | |
| Change the image resolution | Printing resolution is improved by doubling the number of pixels of the image(both horizontal/vertical direction). It is acceptable to change the same image multiple times (file size becomes 4 times larger each time). | |
| Image composition | Composition of luminance pattern and pre-stained marker image (image calculation/subtraction function), RGB composition function, Shading correction (reduction of unevenness of white transilluminator), etc. | |
| Full scale printing | Printing magnification is adjusted automatically so that the set scale becomes full scale. | |
