GelDoc-It^®TS2 Imager

Main Features

The GelDoc-It^TS2 Imagers with the new integrated touch screen simplify workflow for imaging of fluorescent, colorimetric and multiplex gels. Users can simply click the Live Preview button to immediately view an image sample. Then click Capture (Auto or Manual). The exposure, aperture, zoom and focus can be adjusted using the convenient touch screen control panel. All settings are clearly displayed on the screen. The built-in computer creates a networkable stand-alone system allowing users to save images to a USB stick or to a remote computer for further analysis or documentation. Users of the new GelDoc-It^TS2 can:

• Capture high resolution gel images with streamlined workflow
• Select components as required for specific applications. The modular design allows selection of UV transilluminator, emission filters, LED white light plate (for samples, such as Coomassie Blue, that require white light transillumination) and UV modules for epi UV illumination. Or add a BioLite MultiSpectral Light Source for multiplex imaging. Click the Options tab for accessories information.

Simplified Imaging with the Integrated Touch Screen Interface

• Ease of Use: The straightforward interface guides users through live preview, capture and save functions. When a function is active, the software clearly highlights the status for ease of workflow and navigation.
• Touch Screen: Users can easily control settings with the user-intuitive touch screen interface
• Preferences: User preferences allow adjustment of system settings such as selection of emission filter names, binning and location for saving images.

Imaging Camera Optimizes Gel Imaging

• High resolution CCD camera for optimizing fluorescent gel imaging:

Design Features and Benefits

• Networkability: The built-in computer creates a networkable stand-alone imaging system. Users can capture images in one compact system, then transfer the images to a separate computer for further documentation.
• Emission Filter: A slide-out, five-position emission filter tray is conveniently located on the right side of the darkroom for placement of filters. An ethidium bromide filter is standard. The design enables easy access for exchange of filters for unlimited filter use. UVP offers a wide range of filter choices; contact UVP for filter information.
• Transilluminator: A transilluminator is conveniently placed on the roll-out tray for easy access to the filter surface.

Applications

Integrated and compact design lets you easily achieve picture perfect gel imaging results every time! For multiplex imaging applications, add a BioLite™ MultiSpectral Light Source for directed epi excitation. For colorimetric applications, add a uniform LED white light plate or white light converter plate. Refer to the Options tab for modular components that can be added for specific applications.

Options

VisionWorksLS Analysis Software: Supplies comprehensive tools for in-depth analysis of gels as well as image enhancements and extensive report documentation. Single user, multiple user and network versions available. < More >

Emission Filters: An ethidium bromide emission filter is included with the GelDoc-It TS2 Imager. UVP offers a wide range filters. Refer to the darkroom emission filters on the filter chart or contact UVP for filter information.

LED White Light Plate: For colorimetric imaging, plug the optional plate into the darkroom for uniform back-lit white light. The plate emits ‹5% coefficient of variance (CV) for viewing autoradiographs, and stains such as Coomassie Blue and Silver. The plate filter area measures 11W x 11D in. (28 x 28cm). A UV to White Light Converter Plate is available. Simply place the plate over the UV transilluminator and the UV is converted to white light. < More Converter Plate details >

Manual BioLite MultiSpectral Light Source: The optional manually-controlled external halogen light source supplies directed epi illumination via fiber optic light guides mounted in the darkroom. The unit allows use of a single filter; however, a wide variety of filters are available to meet specific excitation wavelength requirements for applications including multiplex imaging. Refer to the filter chart or contact UVP for filter ordering information.

UV Modules: Mount optional UV lamp modules into the darkroom for epi UV illumination. The modules can be removed for handheld use. Select from longwave (365nm), shortware (254nm) or combination modules. Two modules are recommended.

• UVGL-25 UV lamp (254/365nm UV)
• UVL-21 UV lamp (365nm UV)
• UVG-11 UV lamp (254nm UV)
• UV to 480nm Converter - Clips onto the module to convert the UV to 480nm for blue light excitation

Gel Tools: A variety of Gel Tools are useful for researchers working with gels. These tools include a fluorescent Gel Ruler and Gel Trays. Go to Gel Tools for more information.

Thermal Printer: The printer is compact and generates archive quality, 256 grayscale prints. Matte and glossy paper are available. Refer to the Thermal Printer page for ordering information.

Flat Field Correction:  Flat Field Correction (FFC) Plate for Microtiter Plates
