THAL-IT MOBILE APP

Thal-IT is an App for the Android phones that can analyze electrophoresis images of haemoglobin, serum proteins and a wide variety of PCR amplified products. The App creates color histograms of the samples in an electrophoresis image. Hemoglobin, being a colored compound, can be analyzed without staining that eliminates the artifacts due to uneven staining of the electrophoresis strips. This gives Thal-IT a distinct advantage over the traditional densitometry.

APPLICATIONS

HAEMOGLOBIN ELECTROPHORESIS

Thal-IT is primarily meant for the quantitative estimation of normal and abnormal haemoglobin variants. It can play a pivotal role in the population based screening of beta thalassaemia carriers. The combination of GTI Hb electrophoresis apparatus and the Thal-IT App has the potential to become a game changer for the countries with resource constraints.

SERUM PROTEIN ELECTROPHORESIS

Quantitative analysis of serum proteins fractions after electrophoresis can provide valuable diagnostic information about a large number of diseases for example immunological disorders, liver diseases, and inflammatory conditions etc.

ANALYSIS OF PCR AMPLIFIED DNA (Q-PCR)

Electrophoresis of amplified DNA for example quantitative Short Tandem Repeat (STR) analysis for donor chimerism, trisomy screening, maternal contamination in fetal samples and Quantitative PCRs like tumour specific gene expression (bcr-abl, JAK2 mutation etc.), and viral PCR with internal controls are other areas where Thal-IT App can be used.
