Melanie

Melanie provides powerful and innovative solutions to shorten the path from data acquisition to protein information, both for conventional 2-DE and DIGE gels. The superior spot detection and matching algorithms facilitate the extraction of statistically valid differences between groups of 2-D gels, while requiring minimal user intervention and therefore speeding up analysis time. The application integrates filtering, querying, reporting, statistical and graphing options so that you can easily view, compare, analyse and present your results.

Melanie supports of all 2-D gel image formats, including GEL, IMG, TIFF, and PNG and enables direct image acquisition from Twain-compatible scanners. The software is also integrated with LabScan TM 6.0, a 2-D gel-scanning tool developed by the SIB team that enables seamless transfer of images from the GE Healthcare ImageScanner TM to Melanie. Thus, the 2-D image analysis suite manages the entire workflow from image acquisition to the discovery of biologically important proteins.

Version 7.0 of the Melanie software offers an entirely revised user interface and user interaction modes that streamline the analysis process, resulting in major usability and speed improvements that grandly facilitate the completion of simple and highly complex tasks

Melanie 7.0 improves the way researchers, clinicians and laboratory technicians analyze their 2-D electrophoresis gels to identify protein markers of interest. It avoids inaccuracies due to manual spot editing and minimizes repetitive match editing tasks. It helps reduce time spent finding significant protein expression changes and increases the reliability of the results, improving the chances for these professionals to achieve their research objectives.

Melanie 7.0 offers the following benefits:

Rich user experience with product customization
Seamless management and sharing of project data
Support of all 2-D gel image formats, including GEL, IMG, and TIFF
Integration with numerous electrophoresis products from different lab equipment venders
Import/export in Text, Excel and XML format
