Comprehensive measurements and results

Comet Assay IVTM establishes new standards for accurate, repeatable results. This is attained through a combination of the new Click&Score scoring method and intelligent new adaptive background correction algorithms.

Includes all major measurement parameters

Comet Assay IV incorporates all major measurement parameters, including Olive tail moment, tail % intensity and tail length - widely regarded as the most informative measures of DNA damage in the Comet assay.

Measurements accumulated for each slide are viewable within a scrollable results window, which can be split from the main application and placed on a second screen in dual-monitor systems. The results window can also be hidden entirely for those wishing to score blind.

Powerful data processing capabilities

Once the target number of cells for a particular slide have been scored, the user is prompted and the data can be saved to Microsoft Excel before moving on to score the next slide. Alternatively, the system can be configured to save data to an Oracle database for additional security. The optional Data Extractor utility allows authorised users to examine data and extract information from the database into an Excel results file.

Any results files produced by the system can be used with the Spreadsheet Generator macro supplied with the system. With the Spreadsheet Generator, you can amalgamate data, produce graphs and generate summary statistics over any set of result files you choose, merging files if needed (for example, where there are several slides of the same dose & treatment).
