Use it often, serves its purpose well.
Application Area:Western blots, imaging fluorescently stained tissue
"I love LI-COR! I use it on a near daily basis, and I’m always learning new techniques to use with it. We were actually able to image brain tissue directly on our LI-COR imager and while it didn’t give us the resolution of a microscope it was great for preliminary experiments and we were able to use the software to draw regions of interest on the tissues. Data also exports to excel well."

Easiest analysis I've ever done.
Application Area:Multiplex westerns
"This software is the perfect option for easy western analysis. There is a shape tool that allows you to identify bands and automatically quantifies the signal. Additionally, it automatically creates a chart of band signals for each blot after you have selected the bands. Infinitely easier than image j."

Application Area:Detection of specific proteins in cell culture samples by western blot
"ImageStudio is easy to use and download onto your computer. It allows for you to save all blots in one workspace and let's you adjust the photo at any time so if the photo brightness needs to be adjusted after the blot has been imaged and thrown out you can still do that."

User friendly, accurate analysis.
Application Area:Western blot quantification
"Image Studio Lite is super user-friendly and adaptive. The rotation tools and exportable spreadsheets make western analysis very easy. My only critique is that because I don't use a LiCor scanner the software seems to be more sensitive to overexposure than the scanner I do use (i.e., when my scanner sees no overexposure the software will, making it unanalyzable)."

Sometime that feature works, most of the time it does not. I like the fact that the data can be easily exported to excel and being able to paste in sample names into the shape name while in the soft ware- makes tracking samples much easier when going back to an image weeks later."

Something seems off with this newer version because I hadn't had this problem with the old version."
