Simple to use, 12 megapixel digital camera based gel documentation systems. With removable hood and ultraviolet transilluminator, so that the transilluminator can be used separately to view gels.

One of the easiest to use systems for gel documentation and electrophoretic imaging applications, theGel.PRIMEstands alone to provide the lowest cost yet high quality scientific gel visualization and analysis digital system for classrooms and labs.
TheGel.PRIMEgel doc system offers reproducible, high-resolution digital images for gel documentation and imaging.Gel.PRIMEis ideal if you have a limited budget because we have a lot of options for you. Purchase the basic system with the camera, transilluminator, darkroom hood and later add a printer or gel analysis software as the need arises.
Featuring a 12 megapixel digital camera, the camera connects to a PC through a USB and can be controlled from the PC. Ultraviolet transillumination can be provided in 254nm, 312nm or 365nm ranges. Filter size of transilluminator is 20x20 cm. Maximum gel size that can be captured is 16x20 cm.
The transilluminator can be used separately too, in case the user just wants to observe the gel.
