5. Bands

After you have defined the lanes on the gel image, you can automatically identify and
quantitate bands using a set of adjustable parameters.

Note:

You can quantitate bands, arrays, or other objects outside of lanes using volumes.
See Chapter 7 for details.

The tools for band detection are located on the Band menu and on the Band Tools
toolbar.

Note:

Before detecting bands, you should subtract background from the lanes using the
Lane Background command (see section 4.2, Lane-Based Background
Subtraction
).
