Low-cost gel documentation system designed to provide molecular biologists with an accurate, yet inexpensive method of recording fluorescent gel images
Syngene, a manufacturer of image analysis solutions, introduces GeneFlash, a new low-cost gel documentation system designed to provide molecular biologists with an accurate, yet inexpensive method of recording fluorescent gel images.
Built to the same high standards as Syngene's market leading Genius range of image analysers, GeneFlash has a compact darkroom, which can accommodate any transilluminator and comes complete with camera and zoom lens.
This safe system has corrosion resistant sliding doors.
The camera is integrated to a graphical user interface rather than a computer and enables scientists to see accurate images on a large colour screen.
To store images, GeneFlash uses the latest compact flash card technology with a USB flash card reader, which eliminates the need to download files to floppy disk or Zip drive.
The benefit of having no computer and a universal darkroom is that scientists can save money on the purchase of, for example, a monitor or transilluminator.
Paul Ellwood, Syngene's sales and marketing director, explained: "By listening and acting on the feedback we have had from molecular biologists, we have been able to make GeneFlash an exceptionally good value system.
"We have made it affordable by utilising up to the minute flash card technology and integrating it with only absolutely essential hardware components.
"For laboratories on a limited budget that need to record basic gel images but don't want to use expensive Polaroid films then GeneFlash is the perfect solution.
