Product news

GE Healthcare has introduced version 7 of the ImageMaster™ 2D Platinum, a software package for comprehensive visualization, exploration and analysis of 2-D gel data, including 2-D DIGE. With interactive analysis modes and an improved user interface, version 7 offers significant new features for greater convenience and speed.

Key features of ImageMaster 2D Platinum v7.0 include:

  • Well-established methods for all 2-D experiments, including single stain and DIGE experiments
  • Easy import and image viewer functionality
  • Effective spot detection and matching solutions
  • Versatile analytical methods
  • User-friendly and flexible interface
  • Adaptable visualization tools
  • Seamless integration into laboratory workflow
  • Quality and data integrity

The ImageMaster 2D Platinum software uses a patented co-detection algorithm to analyse 2-D DIGE (2-D Fluorescence Difference Gel Electrophoresis) results. The 2-D DIGE system offers significant cost and time-saving benefits in comparison with classical 2-D electrophoresis, and allows the simultaneous separation and comparative analysis of up to three samples on a single 2-D gel.

Developed by the Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics in collaboration with GE Healthcare and GeneBio, ImageMaster 2D Platinum is powered by Melanie gel analysis software.

ElectrophoresisElectrophoresis equipment is used to separate mixtures of protein, DNA or RNA, based on their electric charge, size and other physical characteristics, by passing them through a medium such as a polyacrylamide gel, an agarose gel or a capillary tube. Electrophoresis equipment includes horizontal and vertical gel electrophoresis chambers, isoelectric focusing systems, 2D electrophoresis and capillary electrophoresis instruments. Precast gels with a gradient can be used or gels can be hand cast. Samples are run alongside ladders or markers to identify the approximate size of a molecule. Separated proteins and nucleic acids in the gel can be stained or probed with fluorescent markers and then imaged and detected using gel documentation instruments, transilluminators, densitometers and scanners.

Explore a range of a gel imaging systems, densitometers, scanners, transilluminators or UV lamp + CCD cameras for your image analysis solutions. Colorimetric, fluorescent and/or radioisotopic samples can be visualized and documented for further analysis. See gel doc / Image analysis software for quantitative 1D and 2D analysis of your samples.
