Profile: Silk Scientific, Inc. focuses in the extract of digital data from hard copy graphs. Our first product was the UN-PLOT-IT optical pen system, which used a plotter to automatically extract(x,y) coordinates from graphs. Later we replaced it with UN-SCAN-IT software. The UN-SCAN-IT software uses a scanner to digitize graphs, and is much faster & easier to use. We added features to UN-SCAN-IT to digitize and quantify electrophoresis gels. The gel software replaces expensive densitometer systems.
