Syngene, a division of Synoptics Ltd, is a leading provider of innovative imaging solutions for Life Science research. Syngene specialises in imaging systems designed to capture and analyse images of gels, blots and plants used in various molecular biology techniques, including chemiluminescence, fluorescence and colorimetric detection.
In the Life Sciences and Molecular Biology fields, capturing high-quality images of DNA/RNA and visible protein gels is crucial for accurate analysis and documentation.
Syngene’s commitment to innovation continues with the launch of our new image capture software to accompany the new InGenius 5 imaging system. The software is designed to enhance the quality and efficiency of gel imaging. With high-resolution imaging, advanced saturation detection, and features like Extended Dynamic Range and Dynamic Fielding, researchers can achieve reliable and reproducible results, providing researchers with a reliable tool for their laboratory needs.
Our newly developed image capture software is designed with simplicity in mind. It features an intuitive, user-friendly interface that allows researchers to acquire, save and publish images with ease. High-resolution imaging ensures bands on your gel can be effortless, while flexible file format compatibility enables seamless data sharing.
With a modern interface tailored for ease of use, this software guarantees high-quality image capture every time.
High-Resolution Images
The software provides 5mp high-resolution images perfect for imaging DNA/RNA and visible protein gels. High-resolution imaging allows for clear separation and precise visualisation of closely spaced bands.
Saturation Detection
Helping to identify areas where signal intensity exceeds the camera’s dynamic range, leading to a loss of quantitative accuracy. Any bands that have exceeded the maximum brightness will be coloured red, permitting easy detection of saturated bands.
Extended Dynamic Range (EDR)
EDR is a feature that enhances the ability to capture very bright and dim signals within the same image. It works by combining multiple exposures to prevent signal saturation while preserving low-intensity details. This improves quantification accuracy in applications such as gel imaging, where bands of varying intensities need to be analysed without losing detail due to overexposure or underexposure.
Dynamic Fielding (DF)
DF is a correction technique used to compensate for uneven illumination. It helps by creating a uniform background by adjusting pixel intensity across the image, reducing artefacts caused by non-uniform lighting. This is especially useful in imaging visible protein gels with a visible converter screen.
Versatile File Formats
Save images in multiple formats based on your needs:
- TIFF: ideal for high-quality, uncompressed images used in detailed analysis and publication
- JPEG and BMP: offer compressed files in smaller sizes suitable for easy sharing and storage.
Edit Optimisation Tools
Offering various editing functions, including enhancement tools, like contrast adjustment and sharpening, to improve band visibility. It also provides annotation tools such as text highlighting key features and adding notes for analysis.
Whether you are capturing DNA/RNA or visible protein gels, this software provides the precision and ease needed for Life Science research. Syngene remains dedicated to delivering cutting-edge imaging solutions to support scientific discovery.
