Gridding and flagging


Visualization of segmentation

Mapix® is a microarray image analysis software application that is both intuitive and easy to use, combining imaging and analysis tools for superior performance. Mapix® offers all the very latest features for rapid microarray analysis with a high degree of reliability and optimum productivity.

  • A highly efficient algorithm provides rapid, effective gridding through automatic spot searching and optimal grid alignment.
  • Automatic spot segmentation ensures high-quality experiment data by selecting relevant pixels and eliminating unwanted ones.
  • Gridding performance and quantification process are adapted to the high resolution of the InnoScan® 700 (3μm) and therefore to the size of images generated.

 
 

Multi-window interface

Mapix® gives users optimal data visualization and quick learning thanks to its highly interactive commands, with full correlation between displayed data, pictures and plots.

Mapix® offers maximum adaptability to users' evolving requirements.

  • Mapix® is compatible with a broad range of microarrays (Staggered/Orange Packing, Protein, aCGH, ...) from different suppliers, as well as custom-spotted microarrays, its gridding feature guarantees compatibility with all microarray formats.
  • Batch processing allows analysis of a large number of microarrays per day to boost productivity. (available since Version 3.0.0)
  • Automatic Flag Features permits to flag spots according to users' own queries. (available since Version 3.5.0)
  • Management of plugins enables users to integrate their own applications in Mapix. (available since Version 4.0.0)
  • Regular software updates are accessible on line to match users' evolving needs (updates are free for the 1st year).
