LabImage GEA – Automated Gel Analysis

Name

LabImage GEA (Gel Electrophoresis Analyzer)

Description

LabImage GEA was developed based on LabImage 1D and offers a standard evaluation process for finished gels on a specific imager. The software refers to predefined gel layouts and evaluates them.

Status/Client

The software was developed for a German company. Due to the takeover of the company, the application did not come into the market.

Field of Application

The detection method was used, for example, to detect MRSA bacterias through to malaria / HIV. Emphasis was placed on a robust methodology. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a group of gram-positive bacteria that are genetically distinct from other strains of Staphylococcus aureus. MRSA is responsible for several difficult-to-treat infections in humans. It caused more than 100000 deaths attributable to antimicrobial resistance in 2019.

What is so special?

The software was one of the first solutions that delivered firmly defined processes using an imager as a complete system.

Involved devices /imagers

The software was developed in close coordination with a gel imager which was custom made for that type of application.

Year

Finished in 2013
RF correction of gel made by application

Analysis screen

Device called Cyfox was used to run the gel and capture the image
