Syngene has introduced the Geni2 click and capture gel documentation system, which is designed to enable quick and easy imaging of any 1D DNA and protein gels.
This point-and-press system is designed for producing accurate images of fluorescent DNA gels, as well as fluorescent protein gels, in seconds.
Geni2 can be used for many DNA and protein gel imaging applications.
The system features a compact darkroom, containing a two-megapixel resolution camera, motor-driven lens and six-position motorised filter wheel, all controlled by an internal high-speed processor.
To set up image capture, image manipulation and even image rotation, researchers use an integrated intuitive touch-screen rather than an external computer.
This means the system takes up minimal bench space, yet still has all the features necessary for generating high-quality gel images.
Claimed to be cost effective, the Geni2 darkroom comes complete with a slide-out transilluminator and white light table for visualising DNA and protein gels.
An internal white light is intended to make sample positioning simple and the interlocking doors automatically turn off the transilluminator when open, keeping users safe by preventing UV exposure.
To archive or analyse their results, researchers can save their images to a memory stick or local network connection.
Then by using Genetools, Syngene's image analysis software, which also comes free of charge with a Geni2, scientists can analyse their images.
