“…Our search was over after we tested the Array-Pro software. It is simply the best product out there for automatic spot-calling. We absolutely need Array-Pro in order to handle the steadily increasing volume of microarray image data processed daily by our facility."

--Chris Cheadle Ph.D., DNA Array Facility, National Institute on Aging

"After 6 months of evaluating many array analysis packages our first choice was Array-Pro Analyzer. Array-Pro has very accurate automated spot finding features along with many excellent visual and data analysis tools built in, reducing the need for complicated downstream spreadsheet analysis. We found it to be a comprehensive package which is extremely user friendly."

--Jim Smith, Ph.D., Principal Scientist, Genomic Profiling Systems, Cambridge, MA

New Release... With ehancements that speed up your acquistion and analysis tasks.

Reproducible Results
Array-Pro Analyzer sets a new standard for automation of spot identification. A patented grid overlay to define the spots of interest takes advantage of the inherent periodicity of spot placement. This allows you to produce the same results from user-to-user.

Automatic and reproducible results

Fast Analysis
Typically a scientist might take days to manually define grid, subgrid, and spot locations for the hundreds of thousands of spots. With Array-Pro Analyzer the execution now takes place in seconds.

Gene expression

Extract Valuable Data
One of the biggest problems in microarray analysis as applied to gene expression has been the extraction of small signal changes in the presence of the vast sources of background noise (cross-hybridization, optical effects, dust, etc.) Scientists have found that clusters of genes that indicate phenotypes or disease states tend to be expressed at these low levels. With Array-Pro Analyzer, users are able to optimize signal/noise by adjustment of several control parameters and numerous choices in background methods.

Convenient Analysis Wizard
An analysis wizard takes you through grid, subgrid and spot finding parameters to establish the methodology for each type of array image. Once these parameters are stored as an experiment type, subsequent analyses can be performed without user intervention. This is the key to reproducibility.

Array-Pro method setup wizard

Statistical Feedback
Array-Pro Analyzer offers extensive statistical user feedback to establish the quality of the data and the experiment. You can accurately calibrate the signal and background based on standards, controls, and replicates.

Advanced Statistics
Array-Pro Analyzer interfaces seamlessly with GeneMaths from Applied Maths, a Media Cybernetics distribution partner. Information from a series of gene expression experiments in Array-Pro is immediately available in GeneMaths for statistical treatment via cluster analysis, self-organizing maps and principal component analysis.

Array-Pro Analyzer interfaces seamlessly with GeneMaths

Programmability
Array-Pro Analyzer enables the creation of tailored versions for analytical high-density array imaging. Array-Pro may be extended and customized using the built-in Auto-Pro programming language, Visual Basic®, or Visual C++. Create macros for simple repetitive operations or for more sophisticated needs such as custom user interface, data analysis, and reporting.
