Bio-Rad scientific charting

Above: Firstly the data is searched using a variety of
options the correct fluorochromes are then selected to plot.

Bio-Rad Microsciences is a life sciences company specialising in the manufacture and design of confocal microscopes and laser imaging products.

The system is required to plot charts from the database and superimpose them upon each other.

Users can zoom, rotate, drag & drop new colours onto chart elements -even change a chart to any of 35 formats. Server-side components can extract data from existing databases or text files.

Although in this case the data has been protected to avoid copying, the data can be made available and even edited and reformatted within the browser, copied to the clipboard and pasted into applications like word or excel. Likewise the images themselves can be copied and pasted into other windows based applications.

The Bio-Rad fluorescence database has been designed to allow the user to superimpose graphical fluorochrome data from various fluorochromes onto a normalised axis.

Both the emission and excitation spectra can be plotted from any fluorochrome in the database. These can subsequently be overlaid with filter data curves and laser lines. This will aid the microscopist in selection of the correct fluorochrome for use with their samples and microscope.
