Syngene - New Software and Image Analysis Range

November 22 2002. Cambridge, UK: Syngene, a world-leading manufacturer of image analysis solutions showcased its compact ChemiGenius2 and GeneGenius image analysis systems plus its new GeneTools Version 3.1 software at International Biotech. This enabled molecular biologists to see how both systems and software perfectly complement each other to produce the best results with a diverse range of DNA or protein gels and blots.

ChemiGenius2 and GeneGenius now include the most advanced camera technology available to the life science market. This ensures users can capture the faintest images, as well as resolve close bands or spots. 

For the best analysis of 1D gel and spot blot images Syngene has added many novel features to its new GeneTools software, which comes with ChemiGenius2 and GeneGenius. 

Also on show were the GeneWizard automated gel analyser, a cost-effective system for laboratories that want quicker, more accurate results when capturing and analysing gels and the award-winning GeneGnome – Syngene’s dedicated chemiluminescence imaging system.

Paul Ellwood, Syngene’s Sales & Marketing Director commented: ”Visitors to the Syngene stand at International Biotech were amazed at how we have packed so many features to improve speed, sensitivity and resolution into such small systems. Any scientist that tests the Genius range with the new GeneTools software is guaranteed to improve the results generated from virtually any chemiluminescent or fluorescent application.”
