Illuminating Gels with Laser Power

Researchers use gel imaging systems, likewise known as gel documentation (gel doc) systems or gel imagers, to imagine bands on DNA and protein gels. Lots of gel doc systems likewise catch top quality images of gels and blots and permit scientists to measure signal strength that associates with protein or nucleic acid amounts in each band.1 Traditional Gel ImagingTo picture DNA or protein in gels, scientists pack their samples with colorimetric- or fluorescence-emitting dyes. The Gel-Bright ™ Laser Diode Gel Illuminator includes 12 laser diodes providing brighter and clearer nucleic acid and protein gel imaging with high sensitivity. Unlike blue LED gel imagers, Gel-Bright ™ brightens gels with less ambient light and is suitable with extensively utilized red and green dyes, amazing them more carefully to their ideal excitation wavelength.
