Empiria Studio® Software by LI-COR Biosciences

"I am very pleased with the replicate function of Empiria Studio, since it easily allows for import of replicates that needs to be analysed the same way as the previous replicate."

"The Empiria studio software saves a lot of time. You can achieve densitometric estimations very quickly. It was easy to get through the software. Some questions remained and we got quick help from the support, who answered our questions. With the software you cannot calculate replicates, only triplicates. This is one disadvantage."

"Very easy to use, with all the features needed for Western blot analysis."

"Versatile software that's easy to use, and yields high quality images."

"Great product, easy for use, fast for obtain the results."

"The product is reliable, easy to use. However, it would be good to have it for the department, not just for individual labs."

"This software is easy to use and will be really helpful for organizing the data from multiple blots. It also provides an easy way to put together the data needed to publish western blots."

"So far this software has been very helpful. While many of the features are similar to the previous image studio software the real value is in its organization features. The customer support is also great and it appears they have taken the feedback of users to heart and included new features in subsequent updates."

"This software is quite user friendly and comprehensive. I'm a new user of about a month or two and have been able to analyze my data without spending much time trying to figure out the user interface. I also like that this software will generate data plots as part of the reports."

"Easy to use product which supports data analysis and strengthens publication possibilities."

"Yes we always get reproducibility for the application. Once data is exported it can be opened for analysis on any computer. That is a great option. This system is very user friendly and very easy to navigate."

"Empiria Software significantly automates quantification process, thus minimizing variability introduced by the operator. Antibody validation is essential step often omitted by researches. I had to do antibody validation as a step in Empiria analysis and to my surprise the antibody was not specific to intended target, but interacted equally well with a number of related proteins. Finally, Empiria takes out guessing out of how many more experiments to do. It is all organized into projects and one can easily see all quantification done so far easily."

"The software covers most of the essential features for western blot quantification. Most interesting features are the ability to link multiple experiments including the validation of an antibody to the downstream experiments. You can also combine replicates in the same folder and then perform statistics after quantification."
