Image Studio™ Lite is a complimentary image analysis program created by LI-COR Biosciences designed for the measurement of Western blot images and associated experimental results.
By 2021, Image Studio Lite was phased out and succeeded by LICOR's proprietary software, Empiria Studio. It is currently uncertain if Empiria Studio offers acquisition capabilities for Odyssey FC imaging devices formerly compatible with Image Studio, or whether current users will be provided with licenses.
Overview
The main function of Image Studio Lite is to measure the relative levels of proteins on Western blots or nucleic acids in electrophoresis gels using captured image data.
