You can only normalize to housekeeping protein if you multiplex.
Application Area:Western blot analysis
"While the concept of the empiria software was great, the updated versions of the software are EXTREMELY LIMITED. They have placed restrictions on how you analyze your western blots that just are not compatible with many valid experimental strategies. If you want to analyze your protein of interest relative to a housekeeping protein or pan-target for post translational modification, you MUST image BOTH the housekeeping protein/pan target AND your protein of interest in the SAME SCAN. So you HAVE to multiplex or your analysis is not allowed. You can't scan your protein day 1 and then a tubulin day 2, not allowed. The only way you are allowed to use a different scan is if you are normalizing to revert. Makes no sense why they would put these restrictions. I have complained to them MULTIPLE TIMES and they won't fix it."

The software makes the process of evaluating western blots much easier!
Application Area:Analyze cancer pathway in chronic myeloid leukemia cell line
"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."

Excellent software, extremely valuable and worth the cost.
Application Area:Analysis of protein via western blot.
"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."

The best quantitative Western Blot tool.
Application Area:Qauntify protein in Western Blot
"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 is very powerful and instrumental for standardized procedures.
Application Area:Fluorescent western blotting - quantification
"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."
