Syngene has launched the G:BOX F3, a new gel imaging system designed for scientists that want a method of automatically imaging DNA, RNA and proteins in gels
The G:BOX F3 features a 3.8 million pixel CCD camera with a motor driven lens and built in filter wheel contained in a darkroom.
This automated system is controlled by Syngene’s GeneSys imaging software.
The software automatically sets up the optimum lighting and filters from its database of imaging conditions for every commercially available DNA, RNA and protein dye.
Users can choose their preferred imaging conditions and the G:BOX F3 will automatically capture a high-quality gel image.
For laboratories where safety and UV sample damage are an issue, Syngene offers an UltraBright LED blue light transilluminator, which slides out of the darkroom to aid viewing and band cutting.
Additionally, this transilluminator can be fitted with an optional visible light converter screen for viewing protein gels.
