Image Studio Software
Image Studio is an extremely simple and easy-to-use imaging software. It is compatible with the Odyssey® CLx, Odyssey Classic, and Odyssey Fc Imaging Systems.
- Easy to use - Training for new users is fast and simple (Installation Instructions)
- Intuitive, application-driven ribbon interface
- Compatible with PC and Mac® computers
For the Odyssey Fc, Image Studio supports six different types of analyses:
- Western blots - chemiluminescent, near-infrared fluorescent,
and multiplex IR Western blots - Ethidium bromide DNA gel imaging
- SYTO® 60 DNA gel imaging
- Coomassie gel imaging
Figure 1. Image Studio imaging software features an intuitive, application-driven ribbon interface. Each instrument has its own unique ribbon that displays analysis and formatting tools for user selection and implementation. The above ribbon is Image Studio for the Odyssey Fc Imaging System.
One-Button Image Acquisition
Image Studio software is the key to fast, easy image acquisition and analysis with the Odyssey CLx, Odyssey Classic, or Odyssey Fc Imager.
Push a button, and the blot is imaged in the detection channels you choose. Select one- or two-channel infrared fluorescence, one-channel chemiluminescence, or, when needed, combine infrared fluorescence and chemiluminescence.
Intuitive ribbon formats provide easy navigation and image analysis flexibility that can be fine-tuned to your specific research needs. This easy-to-learn and easy-to-use interface includes dedicated ribbons for Westerns and MPX™ Westerns, to further streamline your workflow.
With Image Studio, you can lock the image settings of multiple images for accurate visual comparison, even with images taken months apart.

Minimum Computer Specifications for Image Studio Compatibility:
- Mac: 2 GB RAM; OS 10.6 or 10.7 (Snow Leopard or Lion);
- PC: 4 GB RAM; Win7, XP, or Vista;
- Odyssey software minimum requirements: Embedded Software: Classic: 2.1.15 or higher; CLx: 1.0.9 or higher; Fc: 1.0.14 or higher
[Above] Now you can easily create electronic or hard-copy lab reports customized to meet your specific needs. Design customized templates in Image Studio using a drag-and-drop approach to arrange the content. Then, simply select the desired template to format your data for a custom report.
You can easily design multiple templates and prepare various reports based on your intended audience. If your record-keeping method must vary to meet different documentation requirements (such as GLP or ISO), you can quickly re-arrange a report or add information while maintaining your original Lab Book Report.
