The UVP GelStudio touch and non-touch are gel documentation systems which use a 12 MP camera for high sensitivity imaging for DNA gels, protein gels, Coomassie Blue, GelGreen, SYBR Green and a wide range of genomic applications.
- Essential to laboratories performing genomic and proteomic applications
- Designed for laboratory efficiency and ease-of-use
- Advanced technical specifications and capabilities
Available as a stand-alone system or as an external computer version for those laboratories with particular IT/computer restrictions. The touch model ensures an enhanced gel imaging experience by utilizing a large 13.3” integrated touch screen computer. Both include a unique fold-down door for easy access to the interior of the darkroom and a compact Thin-Line Transilluminator.
Designed for laboratory efficiency and ease-of-use, the integrated 13.3” touch-screen computer allows for clear visuals of faint bands and finer details of gel images. Multi-tasking is easier to perform on a wide screen with multiple windows and files open at the same time. Large icons make workflow efficient. Additionally, the computer has 500GB of hardware capacity to store large amounts of images, templates, and data. 7 USB ports are available for the use of keyboard, mouse and other accessories. A stylus is included for simple and precise control.
The darkroom features a Thin-Line Transilluminator in a slide-out tray for easy access. This Thin-Line Transilluminator is equipped with uniform and high-intensity UV lighting in a compact form. Designed with long-life UV lamps for minimum service requirements and a wide imaging area of 17 x 21 cm, allowing for the imaging of multiple gels, various gel sizes and several colony plates. The systems are equipped with a red UV On indicator light to alert the users of the presence of UV light.
All darkroom features are software controlled through VisionWorks® acquisition and analysis software package, drastically improving workflow in laboratories. VisionWorks® software has been updated to work with a touchscreen or mouse and now includes Action templates. Action templates allow users to set the darkroom and camera settings to quickly and easily capture a wide range of samples with a single touch or click. VisionWorks® includes a preinstalled complement of common Actions that may be customized with ease. The Action script editor allows for actions to be created, edited or deleted, giving complete control over the order and operation of the darkroom.
With the addition of accessories and lighting filters the UVP GelStudio imagers can be expanded to perform a wide range of applications. UVP Visi-White™ LED Plates are easily plugged in for Coomassie blue, Silver Stains, etc. While a UVP Visi-Blue Converter Plate allows for blue excitation applications (460-470nm).
Combine all these advanced features into one imaging system, and fluorescent detection of DNA gels, protein gels, colony plates, TLC plates, fluorescent dye applications, is simple, safe and takes publication quality imaging, to the next generation.
