Software Interface
  • Automates your research for easy, yet accurate and repeatable results
  • Controls the motorized zoom lens, epi and transillumination UV and white light, emission filter selection and system power
  • Allows selection of user-defined or default settings
  • Select from SYBR Green (515-570mm), SYBR Gold (485-655mm), EtBr (570-640mm) filters or from other added filters
  • Click on the epi and transillumination light sources
  • Set templates and user preferences for recurring experiments

Transillumination

  • The white light plate folds down for illuminating samples such as coomassie blue stained or silver stained media
  • Operate the white light via the software interface
  • To use the transilluminator, slide the transilluminator out on the sliding tray and place samples on the filter surface
  • To fluoresce samples in the 460-470mm range, place the optional Visi-Blue Plate over the transilluminator surface

Chemiluminescent Imaging

  • The MegaCam 810, Chemi 415, and OptiChemi 600 cameras are cooled CCD cameras recommended for chemiluminescent imaging
  • For western blot and other chemiluminescent blots applications, place blots on the removable chemi tray
  • For chemiluminescent applications, place the chemi tray on top of the white light plate for placement of blots
  • Adjust the height of the tray to specific, repeatable positions
  • For western blot imaging, for application use information refer to the article titled "Ultra-Rapid and Ultra-Sensitive Detection of Proteins in Chemiluminescent Western Blotting"
  • For high sensitivity chemiluminescent 1D & 2D immunoblotting (western blotting) imaging
