1.4.c Analyze Image
Once a “clean” image is available, you can use Quantity One to gather and analyze
your biological data. In the case of 1-D gels, the software has tools for identifying
lanes and defining, quantifying, and calculating the values of bands. Volume tools
allow you to easily measure and compare the quantities of bands, spots, or arrays. The
colony counting controls allow you to count the number of colonies in a Petri dish, as
well as perform batch analysis.
Qualitative and quantitative data can be displayed in tabular and graphical formats.
1.4.d Report Results
When your analysis is complete, you can print your results in the form of simple
images, images with overlays, reports, tables, and graphs. You can export your
images and data to other applications for further analysis.
1.5 Computer Requirements
This software is supported on Windows 98, XP, NT 4.0, and 2000, or on a Macintosh
PowerPC.
The computer memory requirements are mainly determined by the file size of the
images you will scan and analyze. High-resolution image files can be very large. For
this reason, we recommend that you archive images on a network file server or high-
capacity removable disk.
PC
The following is the recommended system configuration for installing and running
on a PC:
Operating system: Windows 98 SE
Windows NT 4.0 with service pack 6
