Gel-Pro® Analyzer

GelPro Analyzer for Image-Pro Plus and Image-Pro Express

Gel-Pro is now available in both 3.1 and 4.0 versions. Gel-Pro 3.1 is the "lighter" version. Gel-Pro 4.0 has all the features of 3.1 plus added functionality. Gel-Pro® Analyzer increases laboratory productivity and efficiency by eliminating the time consuming steps involved in manually analyzing Southern, Northern, and Western blots, dot and slot blots, and quantitative PCR. Gel-Pro was jointly designed by Media Cybernetics and molecular biologists for intuitive, easy-to-use analysis without compromising the features necessary to achieve meaningful results.

With Gel-Pro's image processing algorithms, results are often ready with the touch of just one button, eliminating the tedious trail of multiple mouse clicks necessary with other software packages. Images of wet gels, dry gels, photos, or gels on film can be acquired and analyzed automatically with Gel-Pro software. 
Request literature or download a Gel-Pro 3.1 demo. You may also request a Gel-Pro 4.0 demo CD from this page. We do not have a downloadable demo version of Gel-Pro 4.0 at this time.
