ing plate can be scanned within five minutes

at 16 bits. And this high throughput is

achieved without sacrificing superior sensi-

tivity and quantitative accuracy.

The BAS-2500’s range of recommended

applications includes Molecular Biology

(1D electrophoresis, 2D electrophoresis,

DNA & Protein blots and Macro Arrays);

Pharmacokinetics & Toxicology (whole

body autoradiography and thin layer chro-

matography); and Physical and Material

Structural Analysis (X-ray crystallography,

semiconductor wafer check and non-

destructive testing).

Reusable Imaging Plate
is 100x more sensitive
than X-ray film

The Fujifilm IP is a reusable two-dimen-

sional sensor for the detection and storage of

ionizing radiation energy in photostimulable

phosphor crystals. Fujifilm IPs are approxi-

mately 100 times more sensitive than X-ray

film, and have greater quantitative accuracy.

When Fujifilm IPs and the BAS-2500 sys-

tem replace standard X-ray film and process-

ing, your results are available from 10 to 100

times faster. And because Fujifilm IPs are

more sensitive than X-ray film, they capture

information unobtainable using X-ray film

autoradiography. And all of these advantages

can be enjoyed without the need for process-

ing chemicals or a darkroom. While other

phosphor imaging systems have appeared,

Fujifilm scanners and imaging plates remain

the standard by which others are measured.

Fully networkable

All Fujifilm research imaging systems

are easily networked for

seamless integration into

multi-user laboratory envi-

ronments. Ask your repre-

sentative for details.
