In what format do Ludesi need the 2D gel images?

Posted by ludesi in 2DE Knowledge Base

We need the images in .tif or .gel format. It is preferred to use 16-bit grayscale images. The resolution should be great enough so that even the smallest protein spots are not overly pixilated. A good resolution is usually between 150 and 350 dpi.

You should be careful about doing any sort of manipulation of the images in programs such as Photoshop. Doing this puts you at risk of losing or distorting information unless you are certain of what you are doing.
