Changelog
What's new in VoilaBlot.
v3.02026-07-08
AI band detection and a rebuilt editor
- +✨ Click a band — Claude vision auto-boxes the band you clicked and finds the same band in every lane, no dragging required
- +The AI's box is the ROI: what you see is exactly what gets quantified, never resnapped or resized behind your back
- +Manual lane and band drawing tools for full hands-on control when you want it
- +Editor UX overhaul — cleaner toolbar, clearer selection, snappier ROI editing on the canvas
v2.02026-06-18
2-D lane detection, 16-bit precision, and uneven-membrane support
- +New 2-D lane detector — far more robust on smiling, curved, and unevenly loaded blots (a speck no longer reads like a lane)
- +Full-precision 16-bit TIFF quantification — all pixel math runs on the original 65,536-level data, not an 8-bit downscale
- +Gradient background-subtraction method for membranes with a sloped or uneven background (Janes 2015)
- +Background-gradient QC check flags sloped lanes and recommends the gradient method
v1.02026-05-20
Initial release
- +Publication-ready bar charts with journal presets (Grayscale, Nature, Cell)
- +Automated QC diagnostics — saturation, loading-control consistency, signal-to-noise ratio, and dynamic range
- +300 DPI PNG and vector SVG export
- +GraphPad Prism export for downstream stats
- +Auto-generated Methods paragraph with a matching citation
- +Annotated-blot export and significance brackets for figures
- +The /methods reference page documenting every step and threshold
- +Launch of the VoilaBlot blog
