• For multiple imaging applications including multiplex, chemiluminescent Western blots, fluorescent gels and colorimetric.

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

• Choose from a variety of transilluminators with selection of UV wavelengths and filter sizes
• Transilluminator ais placed on easy access, roll out tray
• LED white light plate supplies uniform white light illumination
• To fluoresce samples in the 460-470nm range, add the optional Visi-Blue plate on the transilluminator surface
• To fluoresce samples in the 460-470mm range, place the optional Visi-Blue Plate over the transilluminator surface

Chemiluminescent Imaging

• The MegaCam 810, BioChemi 510, and OptiChemi 610 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 high sensitivity chemiluminescent 1D & 2D immunoblotting imaging
