Converting Gel Electrophoresis Images for Papers
Molecular biologists process gel electrophoresis images for publication in research papers. Raw gel images need cropping, contrast adjustment indication, and format conversion while maintaining scientific accuracy.
Workflow
- Export gel images from the gel documentation system in TIFF format
- Use the Image Cropper to isolate relevant lanes and markers
- Use the Image Resizer to meet journal figure size requirements
- Use the Image Converter to create journal-compatible formats (TIFF or PNG)
- Use the Image Compressor to meet file size limits while preserving band clarity
- Document any image processing steps for the methods section
