Gel Documentation system with 4GB Wi-Fi memory card, UV Transilluminator 312nm & 1D analysis software for imaging of DNA/Protein electrophoresis gels

New 12.1 megapixel digital camera with improved high-sensitivity CCD sensor and the latest image processor for superb resolution, the Clarit-E Gel documentation system is the researcher’s choice for a simple ultra-compact gel doc. system that meets constraints in both budget and space within the laboratory. A large 8″ TFT screen enables images, including agarose and fluorescent gels, colorimetric gels, autoradiography film and blotting membrane, to be captured in colour, clearly and easily. The system is computer-free and supplied with a 4GB storage card and 55mm ethidium bromide filter as standard, while an optional SYBR filter is also available. Files are saved onto the 4GB storage card in RAW, TIFF-RGB and JPEG formats and may be transferred to computer for analysis.
With a large surface area, each transilluminator serves as the perfect workstation for viewing and working with fluorescently-stained protein and nucleic acid gels. Standard features include a high/low intensity safety switch and an efficient starter that allows each of the six 8-Watt UV tubes to energise quickly without flickering, while special filter glass minimises unwanted background light. All of these features maximise contrast and sensitivity, allowing even the faintest fluorescent gels to be viewed.
The TotalLab 1D Module is the 1D gel analysis module of TotalLabQuant, the software supplied exclusively with all Clarit-E Gel Documentation models. TotalLab 1D features a user-friendly interface and help menu that provide a simple, guided workflow for fast and accurate quantitation and calibration of 1D gels and western blots.
Main benefits include:
• The capacity to review each step within the automated workflow analysis, and manually intervene or edit if desired
• Highly developed algorithms which accurately detect lanes and bands even on distorted gel images
• A range of visualization tools that facilitate further examination of lane and band data to verify results, including band calibration from Molecular Size standard lanes and accurate quantitation derived from known band volumes
• Full user control over the visualization tools and the data displayed, allowing only the important data fields and images of choice to be selected for final output
• Multiplex analysis
