The gel documentation system is an indispensable tool in any laboratory working in electrophoresis. This system allows the visualization and analysis of proteins and nucleic acids that have been separated through a gel during an electrophoresis process. Its efficiency and accuracy in this task are often obscured by misunderstandings and myths.
The documentation of gels has become a common skill in the field of medicine, where methods are developed to overcome quantitative and qualitative treatments of gels, using techniques to filter images, without reducing contrast or understanding in detection, facilitating optimizing image classification.
