A simple export function creates a customized Excel worksheet displaying an easy to comprehend summary of raw data, curve fits and calibrated data.
The protein analysis utility adds to the power and scope of ArrayVision, which is already recognized as one of the most flexible microarray software solutions.
"ArrayVision’s flexible design will provide broad image analysis support for NovaRay users. We are happy to combine these two powerful tools to provide customers with a comprehensive and effective systems solution," said Keiko Hattori, head of marketing for GE Healthcare, Discovery Systems.
