Compact gel documentation system for agarose gels and stained protein gels. Suitable for fluorescent and stained agarose gels, spot and colony counting, Coomassie stained protein gels, GFP plant imaging, molecular weight analysis of DNA agarose gels and protein gels as well as autoradiography imaging. A 302 nm UV transilluminator enables imaging of large format agarose gels or stained protein gels up to 20 x 20 cm. A 5-megapixel camera gives low light sensitivity for clear resolution of closely spaced DNA bands and ensures low levels of fluorescence are detected. With intuitive genePIX acquisition software for an efficient workflow.
