For fluorescence and chemiluminescence tasks, the G:BOX Chemi XRQ gel doc system has a high resolution, cooled camera and application driven by GeneSys software.
Cost-efficient Chemi Imaging and Gel Doc
Using the G:BOX Chemi XRQ's capable GeneSys software to move between applications is simplicity itself for a lab that needs hassle-free chemiluminescent detection as well as regular gel documentation. When you insert your chemi blot, the system's cooled camera takes photographs in your gels with a sensitivity comparable to film or slide to provide high-quality images of your DNA and proteins when you want them.
The G:BOX Chemi XRQ camera has a conventional darkroom and a 4 million pixel image resolution. It is cooled to offer a low signal to noise ratio with ideal background.
The whole spectrum of high intensity blue, green, red, and infrared light is covered by HI-LED lighting options,, resulting in shorter exposure times and pictures of publishing quality.
The G:BOX Chemi XRQ offers a quicker workflow for capturing complex multiplex fluorescent gels and blots as a more affordable alternative to laser-based technologies.
The system comes with limitless licenses of GeneTools analysis software and is operated by GeneSys application-driven image capturing software.
Gel Imaging for Fluorescence and Chemiluminescence
- Picogram detection using high quantum efficiency (QE) camera
- UV, blue, and RGB multiplex imaging with up to 5 channels Options for HI-LED lighting - Simple switching between gel and blot imaging
- Stain-free imaging capability: Take pictures of stain-free acrylamide gels and more
- Without using film, auto-exposure produces perfectly exposed chemi pictures
- Great signal-to-noise ratio; no distracting backgrounds on your blots
- Protocol-driven image capture - Excellent results can be achieved without camera expertise
