System can generate images of up to 12,800x12,800dpi max output resolution, ensuring that even the smallest protein spots are detected
Syngene's new ProteomeScan high-resolution image scanner can generate high-quality 2D gel images in seconds, and is said to be ideal for scientists looking for unrivalled accuracy in their proteomics research.
The ProteomeScan is controlled by icon driven software and allows users to dictate the kind of image they would like by selecting scanning resolution, compression and scan speed.
The system can generate images of up to 12,800x12,800dpi max output resolution, ensuring that even the smallest protein spots are detected.
For scientists wanting to save time with their 2D gel analysis, the ProteomeScan has been designed to transfer images directly into Dymension, Syngene's 2D image analysis software.
Dymension can analyse a typical 2D gel image in seconds rather than the normal minutes or hours other available software takes to perform this task, the company says, making it a perfect partner for ProteomeScan.
The flexible ProteomeScan can also switch between transmittance and reflectance modes and has variable colour scanning, which means it is easy to scan a variety of different gel stains such as silver, Coomassie blue and Sypro Ruby.
Safety is a priority and the system is fully sealed to protect against leaks of liquid from wet gels.
There are two versions of ProteomeScan available.
The ProteomeScan A4 Pro can image gels up to 21x29cm, whereas a ProteomeScan A3 Pro is an alternative for users needing to scan larger gels, as it can image an area of 31x43cm.
Laura Sullivan, Syngene's divisional manager stated: "We are excited by the excellent performance of our new ProteomeScan.
"It perfectly complements our Dymension 2D analysis software, to provide an unbeatable package for generating rapid, yet accurate results in proteomics research."
