Analyze Image
STEP 2. DETECT LANES AND BANDS
To analyze the gel or blot, Image Lab software must detect lanes and
bands on the image. Lanes are detected automatically, and then the
background is subtracted automatically. Refer to Lane and Band Tools
for details. Customize band detection with the following options.
9. Select the Lane and Band checkbox in the left pane of the Protocol
Setup window. The right pane displays lane and band detection
options.
• Low Band Detection Sensitivity—this option sets detection at a
low level for images with more prominent bands. Faint bands are
not detected with this setting
• High Band Detection Sensitivity—this option sets detection at a
higher level for images that are more faint. Extraneous bands can
be removed later, using the Band Tools in the Analysis Toolbox.
See Lane and Band Tools on page 72
• Custom—select a numeric value between 1 and 100 to choose the
best detection sensitivity for your sample
Note: When Low Band Detection Sensitivity or High Band
Detection Sensitivity is used, numerical values are set: low
sensitivity = 25; high sensitivity = 75.
