Advantages

NimbleScan v2.6 Software introduces several features designed to enhance the user experience when performing data analysis using NimbleGen microarrays. Key features include the following:

  • New segMNT analysis parameters have been implemented to provide end users with finer control over CGH/CNV analysis.
  • Significant performance enhancements to the image analysis component have been implemented for gridding and alignment of 2 µm images generated from the NimbleGen MS 200 Microarray Scanner.
  • Application-specific data analysis now generates a settings file that records the various analysis parameters used for that particular analysis session. The information in the settings file can be used either for troubleshooting purposes or reanalysis.
  • The installer for the NimbleScan v2.6 Software offers options to install the software either as a fully licensed version or as a free, 30-day trial version.

Applications

For high-volume users, NimbleScan software can give you your own array data pipeline. Input array images and NimbleScan can automatically place an accurately aligned grid and extract data from 1 or 2 color images. Advanced reporting capabilities provide application-specific analysis of CGH/CNV, Expression, Microbial Resequencing and ChIP-chip array datasets for easy interpretation of experimental results.
