Product description
The E
‑
Gel
™
Imager Gel Documentation System is a benchtop gel imaging system that
supports both fluorescent and colorimetric (visible dye) visualization applications. The
system consists of a high-resolution camera for capturing images, and a choice of
interchangeable bases to provide transillumination.
• The E
‑
Gel
™
Imager UV Light Base is used to visualize ethidium bromide stained
gels (including E
‑
Gel
™
precast agarose gels).
• The E
‑
Gel
™
Imager Blue Light Base is used to visualize gels stained with SYBR
™
dyes (e.g., SYBR
™
Safe), including E
‑
Gel
™
precast agarose gels with SYBR Safe
and E-Gel EX precast agarose gels..
The system is controlled by the GelCapture Software application (for PC running
Windows
™
XP, Windows
™
7, or Windows
™
10 32-bit or 64-bit operating systems) and
allows adjustment of exposure, sensitivity, and brightness. Captured images are
exported to GelQuant Express Software for data analysis.
Features
• Small footprint to conserve benchtop space.
• Base units with blue-light transillumination avoid the risks associated with UV
transillumination.
• Sensors permit illumination only when the E
‑
Gel
™
Imager Camera Hood is
properly positioned over the E
‑
Gel
™
Imager Light Base unit.
• Extended detection feature enables viewing precise images of high and low
band intensity by expanding the dynamic range of the image.
• Compatible with a wide range of fluorescent and visible dyes (e.g. Qdot
™
,
SYBR
™
Safe, ethidium bromide).
• Compatible with different gel formats including precast gels (e.g. E
‑
Gel
™
Agarose
Gels, NuPAGE
™
Novex
™
Bis-Tris Gels) and pour-it-yourself gels (agarose, or
polyacrylamide).
• Rapid acquisition of high resolution images.
• Real-time sample imaging allowing detailed sample viewing.
• Eliminates the need for film or processing chemicals.
• Direct camera to PC image transfer prevents loss of resolution common to
systems employing frame-grabber cards to capture data from video signals.
