The GelAnalyzer 19.1 User Manual explains installation, concepts, and step‑by‑step usage for gel image analysis.
This manual provides installation instructions for Windows, Linux (Debian) and macOS, as well as a Java‑based fallback for other operating systems. It then introduces core concepts such as analyses, lanes, bands, and calibration methods.
Detailed sections cover creating new analyses, the graphical user interface, and the six program modes (Lanes, Bands, Background, Rf, Quantity, and MW calibration), guiding users through lane detection, band editing, background subtraction, and calibration curve fitting.
