More Information
Mapix Software Features:
- High-quality data ensured by automatic spot segmentation; selects only relevant pixels
- Process of gridding performance and quantification adapted to the high resolution of the InnoScan 710 and to the size of generated images
- Highly interactive commands fully correlate between displayed data, pictures and plots for optimal data visualization
- Compatible with all types of microarrays built for ex-situ and in-situ techniques
- Reads and analyzes, interstitial/staggered/orange packing patterned microarrays made by Protein NanoPrint, Agilent and others
- Boosts productivity with batch processing for analysis of large number of microarrays per day (available in Version 3.0.0)
- Free online software updates for the first year
Configurable for full or modular automation of:
- Scanner control
- Configuration saving (scan and analysis parameters)
- Bar code reading
- Quality control by flagging
Compatible with all industry-standard formats and platforms:
- Supports GAL files and recordable transcripts in text and GPR formats
- Saves images as 16-bit TIFF files with all read parameters that can be copied in JPEG format
- Supports image analysis of 16-bit TIFF files using other scanners [anchor link to Microarray Scanners sub-landing when it’s created]
- Runs on all operating systems such as: Windows, 32- and 64-bit Linux and Macintosh
