ABSTRACT:
A system for measuring and analyzing an image of a gel electrophoresis, includes measuring apparatus and a processor. The measuring apparatus includes a frame mountable in a fixed location relative to the image, including a bar extending along a first axis, a carriage coupled to the bar and slidable along the first axis, an alignment device extending transversely from the carriage along a second axis for aligning selected components of the image, and a distance sensor operatively coupled to the carriage for sensing the distance travelling by the carriage and generating distance signals. The processor is operatively coupled to the measuring apparatus and processes the distance signals and generates maps based thereon. The subject system is well suited for constructing restriction enzyme maps for an image of bands created by subjecting DNA to gel electrophoresis.
