1.0 INSTALLATION AND STARTUP
The Glyco Doc Imaging System simplifies analysis of small format carbohydrate electrophoresis gels. Its
primary components are the Imager, the Glyco Doc analytical software, and a host computer. The Imager is
suitable for both fluorescent and visible dye applications. The Glyco Doc analytical software features auto-
matic acquisition and analysis of fluorescent labeled oligosaccharide and monosaccharide gels, as well as
DNA and Protein gels and gels stained with visible dyes.
The Glyco Doc Imaging System provides the following features:
• Integrated, high resolution CCD camera for gel imaging
• Emission Filter switch, located on the Imager's back panel, allows easy selection between Glyco
Doc 500 nm and 600 nm imaging
• Automatic exposure
• Automatic band detection
• Automatic quantitation and migration analysis
• Support for numerous graphic file formats, including .tiff and .wmf
• Export data and text for universal spreadsheet and word processing use
• Report generator, for printing image display, band data, and densitometer readings
