Syngene has released silver G:BOX, a range of image analysis systems that guide users to optimum filter and lighting conditions to make imaging all types of gel or blot dyes quick and easy.
All silver G:BOX systems come with touchscreen GeneSys image capture software, which uses applications to guide scientists through image set-up by utilising its database of imaging conditions for hundreds of commercially available DNA, RNA and protein dyes.
GeneSys rapidly produces suggestions for optimum filters and lighting according to the hardware in each G:BOX, saving users the time and effort of looking up recommended detection conditions for that dye.
Researchers then select their combination and the software instructs the G:BOX to automatically set-up the filters and lighting for generating either one or a series of perfect gel or blot images.
The G:BOX has UV and white lighting fitted, and a lighting gantry that allows users to clip in any of Syngene's red, blue, green and infrared LED lighting modules, making it simple to image any combination of commercial fluorescent and visible dyes.
There are five models in the G:BOX range, meaning there is one to suit all fluorescence and chemiluminescence applications and budgets.
These include the G:BOX EF2 for imaging fluorescent gels or blots; the G:BOX XR5 for chemiluminescence and fluorescence and the high-resolution G:BOX XX8, containing an 8.3megapixel camera for imaging multiplex 1-D and 2-D gels.
All G:BOX models come with cooled cameras to ensure image quality.
