Introduction

Gel Doc™ XR+ and ChemiDoc™ XRS+ gel documentation systems offer high

performance and ease of use. They both contain a charge coupled device (CCD)

camera to capture images in real time and allow you to accurately position your

sample and generate optimized image data.

The Gel Doc XR+ and ChemiDoc XRS+ systems use the same lighttight enclosure

(the universal hood), which contains built-in UV and white light illumination, but

different CCD cameras. Both systems feature dynamic flat fielding technology for

superior image uniformity and accurate quantitation.

Image Lab™ software controls image capture and optimization for your

selected applications, analyzes results, and produces reports based on your

specified output, all in a single workflow.

Gel Doc XR+ Imaging System

Gel Doc XR+ imaging system is a high-resolution gel documentation system that

allows fast, easy quantitation of gels and blots. Position your sample inside the

imager and follow the onscreen steps to run a protocol with only one click. You can

customize your applications within an existing protocol or create a new protocol

using many options presented by the Image Lab software.

Features include:

Detection of dynamic ranges that cover >3 orders of magnitude

Dynamic flat fielding specific to fluorescent and colorimetric applications
