Tools / Gel / Blot
Gel / Blot
Annotate lanes and bands on gel and blot images.
Load a gel or blot image and mark it up properly: lanes labelled, bands annotated, everything in place for the figure or the lab notebook instead of a bare unlabelled photo.
The annotated image is a worksheet. Reopen it when a reviewer asks which lane was which, and the answer is already written on it.
Lane annotation
Label every lane so the image explains itself weeks later.
Band markup
Mark the bands that matter and record their molecular weights in kDa.
Saved worksheets
The image and its annotations stay together, reopenable any time.
Figure ready
An annotated image is most of the way to a presentable figure.
How it works
- Load the gel or blot image.
- Label lanes and mark the bands.
- Save the annotated worksheet.
Who is this for?
Researchers, students and lab teams who want the routine arithmetic and paperwork of bench work handled, without installing anything.
Frequently asked questions
Can I record band sizes?
Yes. Bands take a molecular weight in kDa, so the annotated image carries the numbers too.
Does it work for blots as well as gels?
Yes. Any gel or blot image you can photograph can be loaded and annotated.
Is it free?
Yes. LabBee is in beta and every tool is free. If paid plans ever arrive, we will say so clearly ahead of time.
Do I need to set up a lab?
No. Every tool works with just an account. The lab modules are there when your group wants them.
Is my work saved?
Tools that produce documents save them as worksheets you can reopen from the sidebar. Quick calculators simply give you the answer.
