System Specifications
Camera
FluorCam 210 Camera with a resolution of 640 x
480 (VGA) with a USB 2.0 PC interface. All camera
settings are factory pre-set for optimum performance
when viewing gels, films, or membranes under low
light level conditions. UVP Technical Support should
be contacted before making any adjustments to the
camera settings.
Lens
The 5.7-34.2mm zoom lens is fitted with a close-up
diopter and step-up ring. The camera can then be
held in a fixed position. The diopter is for focusing
on objects at the focus length of the BioDoc-It and
VisiDoc-It system.
Processor
Internal Storage: 75GB or more
USB 2.0 ports: 1 front, 4 in the back
USB storage device capacity: 1GB (minimum)
Software: TS software
Ethidium Bromide Filter (EtBr)
The Ethidium Bromide (EtBr) Filter (50mm sq.) UV
blocking band pass interference filter blocks UV and
IR radiation emitted from the transilluminator. The
filter is placed in the filter tray below the camera
assembly. The filter allows visualization of
fluorophores from 580-630nm, targeting the EtBr
emission which peaks at 605nm. The EtBr filter can
be substituted for other specific fluorophore filters or
removed when imaging non-fluorescent media
(protein gels, colony plates, etc.) in order to produce
brighter images.
Darkroom for the BioDoc-It System
The darkroom is light tight for optimum imaging conditions. The darkroom features:
Gel viewer window
Overhead white light
Wide access doors with UV safety switch
Side doors (darkroom may or may not include side doors)
