VisionWorks Imaging Software
VisionWorksLS Image Acquisition and Analysis Software is included with the Advanced Imaging Systems (BioSpectrum AC, AF, EC3, ChemiDoc-It, GelDoc-It). This sophisticated package provides comprehensive tools for image capture and analysis of gels, plates and membranes as well as colony counting. Capabilities include:
- Extensive image acquisition functions
- Image enhancement capabilities
- Support for 21 CFR Part 11 compliance
- Advanced 1D lange densitometry/analysis
- One-touch automated macros
- User defined profiles and preferences
- Report generation
Image Acquisition
The VisionWorksLS image capture function is configured to work with UVP’s BioImaging Systems. Capture images of any fluorescently labeled or colorimetric stained gels, blots, and membranes. For chemiluminescent imaging, acquire chemiluminescent Western, Northern and Southern blot images without using radioisotope labeled 32P and film. The user friendly software guides you through steps for capture of images.
Integration options
- On-chip integration for the simplest image capture; convert “live image preview” to captured image with one keystroke
- Sequential integration for automatic sequence of images of increasing exposure to ensure captured picture with optional exposure times; features automatic Digital Video Playback (DVP) of acquired images
- Dynamic integration for special sequential capture of Western Blots; each image is an addition of previous exposures so that an optimal picture can be formed in the minimum time before the chemiluminescence fades
Dynamic Integration
Dynamic Integration demonstrates blotting with substrates of high signal but limited duration and low background (e.g. ECL Plus).
Saturation Warning
Assure imaging results are quantifiable by using the saturation warning to detect saturation of bands in live preview.
1D Lane Densitometry/Analysis
VisionWorksLS analysis software includes comprehensive tools to provide a full range of analysis capabilities. VisionWorksLS enables image acquisition and analysis for a wide range of applications including chemiluminescence, chemifluorescence, fluorescence, bioluminescence, colorimetric, live animal and in vitro samples. The easy to use functions automate your experiment analysis with accurate quantitation, generation of lane profile graphs, plus intensity histograms, concentration curves and much more!
Applications
- Protein Quantitation
- Quantitative PCR
- cDNA Differential Expression
- GFP Expression Analysis
- FISH Analysis
- Gel Scoring
- PCR Gene Expression
- Colony Counting
- TLC Analysis
- Dot Blot Analysis
- Live Animal Imaging
- and more!
Maximizing Fluorescence Calibration
New! Using a non-photobleaching fluorescent standard step tablet placed on a FirstLight UV Illuminator, users can normalize the control and treatment regions (bands and spots) on acquired images again one another for variation in lighting and optical conditions. Images taken with the steptab can be analyzed with sophisticated statistics including mean and standard deviation, modified entropy and volume.
One-Touch Automated Macros
Create your own macros to automate time consuming routine procedures involving image capture, enhancement, analysis and data archiving. Assign a function key to recorded macros for one-touch automation.
