CCD is alternative to laser scanner for 2D gels

A Syngene product story
Edited by the Laboratorytalk editorial team Feb 16, 2006

Syngene announces the availability of Dyversity, its new automated imager, designed to save time with producing precise images of 2D protein gels

Dyversity, a fully automated 2D gel image capture system, consists of a light tight darkroom containing a high resolution, 16-bit CCD camera, which at 90 microns resolution has the fastest capture times per channel for Cy dyes of any system of its type.

The darkroom also features a large door opening to accommodate many gel sizes, making this the most flexible and affordable 2D gel imager currently available says Syngene.

Dyversity can be fitted with a range of precision made filters, UV and white lighting modules to allow imaging of protein stains such as Coomassie Blue, Deep Purple, Pro-Q Diamond, silver stain and Sypro Ruby.

Additionally, there is a Cy dye lighting platform available for Dyversity.

The high-quality results produced by Dyversity can then be transferred into Syngene's new Dymension software for rapid image analysis.

Laura Sullivan, Syngene's divisional manager, commented: "We are very proud of Dyversity because it features unrivalled versatility, which means scientists can choose to use it for a variety of gel imaging applications.

"The system is so flexible that users can easily upgrade it for different applications, as well as add the filters and lighting they need to image new commercial protein dyes as they become available.

"This future proofing coupled with the accuracy of its imaging results makes Dyversity the perfect alternative to laser based scanners.".
