The Biospectrum imaging system from UVP is configured for use in multiple imaging applications.
The Biospectrum, combined with the Biolite Multispectral light source, provides a system to excite and illuminate wavelengths for applications including multiplex NIR imaging.
The Biospectrum system supplies a full range of wavelengths for excitation and enables rapid, high-resolution image capture through the use of cooled CCD camera and low light lenses.
Exposures times are claimed to be much faster than laser scanning.
The Biospectrum imaging system with Biolite Multispectral source features: VisionworksLS software for automating research with templates; a high-resolution cooled CCD camera and optics that allow quick detection of a full range of visible and NIR fluorescent dyes; automated imaging of white light and multiple different fluorescent tags on a single blot; and a combination of up to eight excitation and five emission wavelengths to meet all spectral ranges in single experiment.
With the range of excitation and emission filters available, researchers can detect as well as quantify virtually all fluorescent dye from visible to NIR using VisionworksLS acquisition and analysis software.
The use of NIR and visible fluorescent labels permit multiplexing so that several proteins in a sample can be detected and analysed at the same time on a single protein blot.
UVP offers several filters used for NIR blotting with 680 and 770 to 800nm fluorescent tags.
