title: Digital electrophoresis analysis.
abstract: Digital recording of gel images offers several advantages over conventional photography. Capture of the image is quick and reliable, retaining the image in a medium that allows digital analysis of the image. These images are easy to handle, accurate, reproducible and less expensive to generate. This unit provides a guide to digital capture and analysis, discussing the equipment and methods for image capture and the process of image analysis for one- and two-dimensional gels.
