Gel Analysis Workstation

The FOTO/Analyst® Luminary enables users to obtain high quality digital photographs of chemiluminescent Southern, Western and Northern blots, Petri plates, TLC plates, and a variety of fluorescent samples. A cooled CCD camera combined with the light-tight Luminary Benchtop Darkroom and extended integration software allow maximizing exposure times for low-light samples. A raised platform brings the sample as close to the imaging source as possible. The enclosure features dual light epi-illumination with both UV and white light sources. Select UV epi-light optimizes the sensitivity of many fluorescent samples. Users can choose white light for photographing microassay plates, colorimetric blots and other opaque samples. Files can be archived in nine file formats, including tif and bmp, to preserve data integrity for downstream analysis.
