Summary

Customize

Excitation / emission wavelength customization.

The excitation wavelength and fluorescence wavelength can be customized by changing the transmission filter on the light source side, the cut filter on the sensor side, and the emission center wavelength of the light source. (Estimate separately for price and delivery date.)

Option

Unit
Scanner models：DSA3FLU1GELV

By attaching to a fluorescent model, it is possible to scan transmitted originals (CBB / silver stain). * Fluorescent / visible (201801A2) model is attached as standard.

Option

Carrying case
Option model number: IR6KCC

Made of aluminum frame + FRP.

FEATURES

01No darkroom required.

The same unit can be used for both fluorescent and visible gels.

02Drip-proof.

Wet gel can be placed directly on the scanner.

03The uniformity of light realized by the scanner makes it perfect for quantitative measurements.

No focusing or exposure adjustment is required. Uniformity of light and repeatability make the scanner ideal for use in quantitation.

0465536 gradations.

Values directly proportional to fluorescence intensity can be obtained in 16 bits (65536 gradations.)

05Max scan size is 310 × 437 mm.

Several large gels can be scanned at the same time.
