Channel refers to the type of signal you want to capture and the imaging
conditions you want to use.
•
Chemi
: Channel for measuring chemiluminescent signals.
•
Fluor [Trans]
: Channel for measuring fluorescent signals that are
excited by the green transilluminator and appropriate emission filter.
•
Nucleic acid
: Channel for measuring fluorescent signals in gel that are
excited by the green transilluminator and the 568-617 emission filter
(stained DNA and RNA).
•
Protein
: Channel for measuring fluorescent and visible signals in gel
that are excited or illuminated by the green transilluminator and the
568-617 emission filter — stained or labeled protein.
•
Visible
: Channel for measuring visible signals on an opaque media
(nitrocellulose membrane, PVDF membrane, etc.) using the Epi-white
LED with neutral density filter and appropriate emission filter.
•
TPN
: Total protein normalization channel is for normalizing Western
blot results to total protein load by lane.
