Abstract: Methods and reference compositions for quantifying protein using tagged standards. In an exemplary method, a reference composition and a protein may be electrophoresed in respective lanes of a gel. The reference composition may include quantitation standards of different size and each including a tag present at a different concentration. The quantitation standards and the protein may be transferred from the gel to a solid support to create a blot. Luminescence may be detected from the blot to obtain respective luminescence values separately representing an abundance of the tag of each quantitation standard and an abundance of the protein. A quantity of the protein may be determined using the respective luminescence values.

Abstract: Systems and methods for contact imaging of stands with illumination are disclosed herein. A contact imaging system can include a contact imager. The contact imager can include a housing having a base and a lid. The lid can have a closed position against the base and an open position. The contact imager can include a contact area image sensor. The lid can shield the contact area image sensor from ambient light when the lid is in the closed position. The contact imager can include an illuminator that can illuminate at least a portion of a blot on the contact area image sensor when the lid is in the closed position.

Abstract: A method of image capture helps avoid saturation in digital imaging. In one implementation, the method includes capturing a first digital image of a target using an electronic array light sensor, and identifying one or more saturated pixels in the first digital image. The method further includes identifying a region of interest in the first digital image, the region of interest encompassing the one or more identified saturated pixels. The method also includes capturing a second digital image of the target using the electronic array light sensor. The second digital image encompasses only the region of interest, and the second digital image is captured with a shorter exposure time than the first digital image. The first and second digital images may be combined into a high dynamic range image. Systems for digital imaging may be based on complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) or charge coupled device (CCD) sensors.

Abstract: Systems and methods for producing blot images. A blot, for example a western blot, is imaged using an imaging system having a field of view and a magnification. Features of interest in the blot correspond to features in the digital image, and the sizes of the features in the digital image depend on the magnification of the imaging system. A structuring element is selected based on the sizes and shapes of the features in the digital image, and the image is morphologically eroded and dilated varying numbers of times. The eroded and dilated image is subtracted from the original blot image to remove background signal from the blot image, producing an output image. The number of erosions needed to completely erode the features of interest is determined automatically, for example by investigating the behavior of the kurtosis of the output image as a function of the number of erosions performed.

Abstract: A system, apparatus and method for using modular microscopes is disclosed. Connecting the housings of the individual microscope modules provide the structural framework of the modular microscope. Furthermore, the modular microscope can include specialized software, the distribution and use of which can be controlled using security keys or identifiers stored on one or more of the microscope modules.
