Comet assay software on 30-day trial
Comet Assay IV is an interactive live video-based software system for measuring DNA damage and repair using the single-cell gel electrophoresis (SCGE) technique. The comet assay is now one of the standard methods of assessing DNA damage, using fluorescence microscopy to examine this at the single cell level in a wide range of applications. These include genotoxicity testing, ecotoxicology, clinical diagnostics, food processing and nutrition, and health and safety testing. Comet Assay IVÆs new Click & Score method ensures unrivalled, rapid, reliable and user-friendly comet analysis. The fully featured evaluation version is available from www.perceptive.co.uk, and the download includes a user guide with a tutorial on how to get started, score cells, save data and review audit trails. Representative images are included to evaluate the scoring process.
