One of the easiest to use systems for gel documentation and electrophoretic imaging applications, the Gel.PRIME stands alone to provide the lowest cost yet high quality scientific gel visualization and analysis digital system for classrooms and labs.The Gel.PRIME gel doc system offers reproducible, high-resolution digital images for gel documentation and imaging. Gel.PRIME is ideal if you have a limited budget because we have a lot of options for you. Purchase the basic system with the camera, transilluminator, darkroom hood and later add a printer or gel analysis software as the need arises.Featuring a 12 megapixel digital camera, the camera connects to a PC through a USB and can be controlled from the PC. Ultraviolet transillumination can be provided in 254nm, 312nm or 365nm ranges. Filter size of transilluminator is 20x20 cm. Maximum gel size that can be captured is 16x20 cm. The transilluminator can be used separately too, in case the user just wants to observe the gel. How the Gel Documentation System worksA transilluminator and a removable, light-weight hood with camera is supplied. The camera is mounted on top of the hood. Simply put the gel on the transilluminator and then place the hood over the transilluminator. Switch on the transilluminator and the camera. View the gel on the camera built-in LCD or connect the camera to a PC using USB to get a real-time live view image of the gel. Adjust camera settings (like shutter speed, aperture, focus) directly on the camera or using the provided gel capture software that controls the camera from the PC. Click your images and save them on the PC.With the optional 1D gel analysis software, you can analyse the gels.

Sharp zoom lens coupled to a highly sensitive 16-bit Sony scientific grade CCD camera, the Gel.ProCCD gel documentation system, is a high quality, yet low cost professional gel and bio-imaging system. From agarose, PAGE, western blots, dot blots, nucleic acid, colorimetric to fluorescent imaging and upgradeable to chemiluminescence; this gel system has all the options.Featuring high resolution extremely sensitive scientific grade CCD camera (with choice of 1.4, 5.6 and 9 megapixel cameras) with extremely low noise and dynamic flat field calibration coupled to a motorized zoom lens (with an option for numerical feedback value) that is pre-focussed for different zooms or sample setting, mounted in an enclosure that covers and protects the camera and lens from dust and mold. The camera, lens and cabinet connects to and can be controlled from the PC using the live-view acquisition capture software.Choice of illumination options with long-life UV trans/epi lighting, wavelength-specific LEDs and more, add to the versatility of the system. UV roll-out transilluminator can be provided in single, dual 302-312nm and 365nm (additionally 254nm, for triple wavelength configuration), and even Red, Green, Blue LEDs ranges. Large filter size of transilluminator for gel images up to 21x26cm, with extra large special filter size of up to 26x26cm also is available.Colorimetric samples up to 38x30cm can be captured. Epi-white light illumination from above is standard using two LED tubes. Optionally, ultraviolet epiillumination in a variety of wavelengths (254/312/365nm) can also be provided. UV to white light and UV to blue light trans converter screens are also available. UV tubes and LED lamps are high-quality, long-life tubes and lamps, with the latter lasting for more than 40,000 hours of usage (under proper usage with flicker-less, stabilized power supply). Reflectors are standard for uniform light distribution. The mild & stainless steel, epoxy coated microprocessor controlled dark room cabinet has features for UV irradiation safety switch that switches off the UV lights as soon as the door is opened. Additionally, a timer is provided that switches off UV in case the user forgets to shut it off. Option to adjust timer for excision. Also, the user can opt for automatic switching on of the Dual Epi-White LEDs on opening of door and for automatic controls of UV light and exposure. A transilluminator cooling system is also provided to prevent overheating of gels. Optionally, a window and access door can be provided for gel observation and cutting.
