microSCAN complete documentation system for 1-D and 2-D colorimetric gels

WYCOFANY. Zamiennik viewPIX

• For detection of colorimetric protein gels, blots and TLC plates.
• Sealed unit suitable for wet Gels.
• User has full control over resolution, compression and scan speed, providing complete flexibility in choosing between high speed or high quality image acquisition.
• Transmittance and reflectance modes for different imaging applications, whereas colour channel separation allows accurate detection of all colorimetric dyes.
• Create and store acquisition methods for different applications to ensure scan-to-scan reproducibility; greyscale wedge for system calibration and calibration reporting.
• Ideal for post-electrophoresis scanning of omniPAGE Mini, Midi, Maxi and WAVE gels.

The microSCAN is a low-cost documentation system for scanning colorimetric 1-D and 2-D gels, as well as blots and TLC plates. The microSCAN’s control software allows rapid generation of high quality images that may then be imported into recommended TotalLab Quant and Phoretix 1D software (pg 66) for analysis. Users may choose between transmittance and reflectance modes in colour and greyscale, and can select their required resolution.
The microSCAN can generate high resolution images at 2400 dpi, while its variable colour scanning functionality is sensitive enough to detect the faintest protein spots in gels stained with Coomassie Blue, silver and other colorimetric stains. As a sealed unit with a maximum 20.9x28.5cm scanning area, the microSCAN is also suitable for wet protein gels, particularly those run in the omniPAGE Mini and Midi, and Maxi and WAVE vertical systems.
