Working with a genius

Designed for those who need a system for rapidly imaging chemiluminescence, UV and white-light-based applications, a ChemiGeniusXE 3 will provide maximum resolving power and precision. Inside a computer-controlled darkroom with auto-lock sliding doors, the ChemiGeniusXE 3 uses a 16-bit CCD camera with 3.2 million-pixel resolution for unrivalled separation of images with close bands or spots. The camera, offering 90% quantum efficiency, can detect a range of coloured dyes and is cooled to û60░C to reduce noise when developing chemiluminescence signals over long exposure times. Both these features allow scientists to capture faint signals from any commercially available dyes, guaranteeing the most accurate sample quantification. This versatile system has interchangeable and fixed lenses and an adjustable multiheight sample tray, so users can work with both large or small gels and blots. It is supplied with a large transilluminator, white-light pad, integral epi-UV illumination and computercontrolled 10-position filter wheel for imaging different dyes. The ChemiGeniusXE 3 system also includes two copies of SyngeneÆs intuitive, one-click GeneTools analysis software. This is designed to automate applications such as 1-D lane analysis, Rf/molecular weight calculations, band matching and multi-layer gel analysis, thus saving scientists valuable research time.
