Contact SupplierExcellent optics coupled to a high quality camera, the Gel.LUMINAX gel documentation system, is a high performance and reliable fluorescent and colorimetric bio-imaging system.
Featuring a 18 megapixel digital camera, the camera connects to a PC through a USB and can be controlled from the PC. The light-tight cabinet has a UV safety switch and a roll-out transilluminator. A choice of illumination options with UV trans/epi lighting, wavelengthspecific
LEDs and more, adds to the versatility of the system.
Ultraviolet transillumination can be provided in 312nm, 365nm or 254nm ranges. Filter size of transilluminator is 20x20 cm or 21x26cm. For extra large gels, we also offer a 26x26cm filter transilluminator. Epi-white light illumination from above is standard. Optionally, ultraviolet epi-illumination in a variety of wavelengths can also be provided.
The dark room cabinet has features for safety switch that switches off the UV lights as soon as the door is open. A timer is attached to the transilluminator, which auto switches off UV light in case the user forgets to switch it off. This increases the life of the UV lamps.
This gel doc system is perfect for diagnostic labs, biotech start-ups, for HLA-typing facilities, DNA and protein research and academic labs.
Gel.LUMINAX gel documentation system is used to capture images of:
- Protein and DNA gels,
- HLA typing applications,
- Petri plates and Agar plates,
- Tissue Culture Flasks,
- Membranes,
- TLC plates,
- Microplates…
A comparison was done between the performance of our gel doc transilluminator and a European system. The same EtBr-stained gel was viewed and photographed in our system and then immediately again (so that the lighter bands did not diffuse) on a famous European-brand system. The camera settings were the same and transilluminators intensity set at maximum in both transilluminators. Post processing involved cropping & pasting the gel images together and the text annotations shown in image above. No processing was done to deliberately lighten the bands in the European-brand transilluminator. This comparison was done at a large biotech company in Bangalore (India) that had access to both our and the other transilluminator. Clearly, our system performs better than the European brand despite being much less in price. | |||||||||||||
