Patent ID: 7881517

Claim:
A method of comparing multiple samples of cell extract containing a plurality of components comprising: preparing at least two samples of cell extracts from at least two groups of cells; exposing each of said at least two samples of said cell extracts to at least one different marker of a set of matched markers to bind the at least one different marker to the cell extracts to label the cell extracts, each marker within said set of matched markers being capable of binding to the cell extracts and can be individually detected from all other markers within said set of matched markers; mixing said at least two samples of the labeled cell extracts to form a mixture; separating said mixture to separate a plurality of components within the cell extracts; obtaining at least two electronic images of the separated mixture by detection of-individual markers in the set of matched markers, each image being represented by detection of the at least one different marker that is unique from the set of matched markers; creating one resultant electronic image (I res ) of the obtained at least two electronic images; analyzing the resultant image in order to identify spot analysis areas; and applying said identified spot analysis areas on each one of the at least two electronic images for evaluating said identified spot analysis areas in order to detect spots representing the plurality of components of said cell extracts.
