Advanced Quantifier (AQ)

The Bio Image Advanced Quantifier (AQ) is a software system for analyzing scanned images of protein or DNA samples run in one-dimensional separations, including Northerns, Southerns and Westerns, RAPDs, STRs (micro satellites), Paternity and forensic analysis using RFLPs or STRs, Strain identification and comparison using RFLPs or STRs, and other genetic mapping applications using 1-D molecular techniques.

The software automatically locates lanes and bands. On command, it determines band size and quantity of sample present in comparison to standards or reference lanes.

Matching

• identifications in agricultural, forensic, or paternity applications

• Determine matches using MW, interband spacing, or volume

• Choice of three methods for calculating band-sharing frequency

• Build similarity dendograms using one of five clustering techniques

• Use lane labels to match just lanes of interest (e.g., just match control lanes)

• Show matching lanes from any image, for easy verification

Reporting

• Customize reports and display them on screen, print, save as a file, or copy to spreadsheet programs

• Illustrate image with circles, arrows, boxes, and text; combine an image with text for publication-quality work

• Show the size or concentration curves

• Display band data including peak height, area and volume for the whole band, relative volume and Rf

• Overlay multiple densitometry profiles

• Show side-by-side band comparisons, lane densitometry profiles, 3-D surface plots, and image histograms

The AQ software is available for PC and Mactel. This software is ideal for clients who do not require compliance with 21CFR Part 11.
