Abstract: Methods for analyzing raw electropherogram data are disclosed. Some methods includes extracting color data as a function of time or position from the raw electropherogram data, selecting from the electropherogram one or more peaks that contain color data for a first dye and substantially no color data from other dyes used in electrophoresis. The method also includes determining the color spectrum of the first dye, and using the color spectrum of the first dye to deconvolve the color data of the raw electropherogram data to separate the contributions of each of the dyes to the raw electropherogram data. Systems and apparatus for producing electropherograms are also disclosed.
