New image analysis range
Syngene is promising to unveil 'revolutionary' new image analysis systems of particular interest to molecular biologists at the Biotechnica show this year
Inside a computer-controlled darkroom with auto-lock sliding doors, the ChemiGeniusXE 3 uses a 3.2 million pixel resolution, 16 bit CCD camera for unrivalled separation of images with close bands or spots.
The camera, offering 90% quantum efficiency, can detect a range of coloured dyes and is cooled to -60C to reduce noise when developing chemiluminescent signals over long exposure times.
Both these features allow scientists to capture faint signals from any commercially available dyes, guaranteeing the most accurate sample quantification, says Syngene.
The versatile ChemiGeniusXE 3 system has interchangeable and fixed lenses and an adjustable multi-height sample tray so users can work with both large or small gels and blots.
It is said to be competitively priced and comes complete with a large (25x30cm) evenly lit transilluminator, white light pad, integral Epi-UV (254nm and 365nm) illumination and computer-controlled ten-position filter wheel for imaging different chemiluminescent and fluorescent dyes.
The ChemiGeniusXE 3 system also includes two copies of Syngene's intuitive, one-click GeneTools analysis software.
This automates applications such as 1D lane analysis, Rf/molecular weight calculations, band matching and multi-layer gel analysis, saving scientists valuable time with their research.
Laura Sullivan, Syngene's divisional manager, stated: "The ChemiGeniusXE 3 is an excellent addition to Syngene's successful ChemiGenius range, providing previously unseen levels of resolution and sensitivity. Request a free brochure from Syngene ...
"Since it is equally effective with imaging chemiluminescent, fluorescent and white light applications, a ChemiGeniusXE 3 will be perfect in any multi-user laboratory or core facility.".
