Abstract

Western blotting has been widely used for decades, yet figure preparation remains unstandardized, error-prone and difficult to audit. Gelato is a free Fiji/ImageJ plugin that streamlines intuitive figure preparation, logs processing coordinates, provides a straightforward audit platform andenables reproduction from raw images. By making these capabilities simple and accessible, Gelato facilitates robust Western blot reporting, reducing a substantial burden on authors and reviewers while strengthening scientific rigor.
