14. Bands
Once you have defined the lanes on your gel image, you can automatically
identify and quantitate the bands in those lanes using a set of adjustable
parameters.
Note: You can also quantitate bands outside of lanes using the Volume Tools.
See Chapter 16 for details.
The tools for band detection are located on the Band menu and on the Band
Tools toolbar.
Fig. 14-1. Band menu and Band Tools toolbar.
Note: Before detecting bands, you should always subtract lane background
using the Lane > Lane Background command (section 13.2).
