Gel Imagers 

 

System Introduction  

 

Gel Imagers and Gel Imagers Plus 

 

The Gel Imagers enables simple documentation of fluorescent and non-fluorescent gels, 
membranes, blots, film plates and assays with the ability to save images to a USB storage device for later 
quantitative analysis or enhancement for publication. 
 
Images are saved in 8-bit TIFF or JPEG formats allowing the images to be read by most PC or MAC 
programs. The Gel Imager system is a cost effective solution for archiving quality images in a compact 
standalone package. No computer is required. 
 
The models comes in two configurations:  
 

ƒ

 

Gel Imager  Plus, a high resolution 1.3 megapixel camera, 8-48mm zoom lens or  

ƒ

 

Gel Imager - a 0.3 megapixel camera and a 5.7-34.2mm zoom lens.
