Customized Imaging Software for Biotechnology and Diagnostics

Right in time for the start of the new year, the firm Kapelan Bio-Imaging introduced its new LabImage 1D 2006 software for 1D-electrophoresis analysis. The young company, which is located in Halle/Saale in Germany, was founded in 2000 with the aim of developing various diagnostic and molecular biological applications. In the past five years, the company – which now employs 12 people – recorded an increase in turnover of more than 250 percent. Since then it has entered into several cooperative research ventures with universities as well as manufacturers and distributors of diagnostic products.

In only two years, Kapelan Bio-Imaging succeeded in developing an innovative imaging platform for bio-informatics, the field that is the basis for the LabImage software and for further projects foreseen by the company. The current program version offers numerous functions that even novices will find easy to use. LabImage is a modular system that can be expanded and customized to meet the requirements of each individual user.
