Bio Image announces release of Advanced Quantifier electrophoresis analysis software for Windows and Macintosh.ANN ARBOR Ann Arbor, city (1990 pop. 109,592), seat of Washtenaw co., S Mich., on the Huron River; inc. 1851. It is a research and educational center, with a large number of government and industrial research and development firms, many in high-technology fields such as , Mich.--(HealthWire)--May 7, 1996--Bio Image(R) announces the release of a new family of powerful 1-dimensional electrophoresis analysis software for the PC and PowerMac: the Advanced Quantifier (logic) quantifier - An operator in predicate logic specifying for which values of a variable a formula is true. Universally quantified means "for all values" (written with an inverted A, LaTeX \forall) and existentially quantified means "there exists some value" (written with a (TM) (AQ) product line, which includes the Advanced Quantifier 1-D and the Advanced Quantifier 1-D Match. Analyzing 1-dimensional (1-D) protein or DNA electrophoresis DNA electrophoresis is an analytical technique used to separate DNA fragments by size. An electric field forces the fragments to migrate through a gel. DNA molecules normally migrate from negative to positive potential due to the net negative charge of the phosphate backbone of images on the PC and PowerMac becomes amazingly easy and fast using Advanced Quantifier software. Utilizing advanced proprietary algorithms, both AQ 1-D and AQ 1-D Match automatically find lanes and bands. On command, the software sizes and quantifies the bands using Bio Image's "whole band" algorithms providing highly accurate and reproducible results. The reports generated from the results can be customized by the user. AQ 1-D Match is able to match over a thousand lanes. The matching results can be displayed in matrix or table form, as well as in dendrograms and contig maps. This powerful matching capability can be used for forensic and paternity The state or condition of a father; the relationship of a father.

Bio Image also offers hardware systems for image acquisition that can be paired with AQ software to provide a complete system solution.
