| Gel Doc XR+ and ChemiDoc XRS+ Systems with Image Lab Software

Smart, application-based protocol setup using Image Lab software, which

assists you by presenting appropriate filter and illumination sources for

each application

Ability to upgrade to the ChemiDoc XRS+ system

ChemiDoc XRS+ Imaging System

In addition to the gel documentation applications of Gel Doc XR+ system, the

ChemiDoc XRS+ imaging system offers sensitive chemiluminescent detection. The

system includes a supersensitive 16-bit CCD camera that is deeply cooled for the

long imaging times required for faint sample detection and for accurate

quantification of image data.

Features include:

Suitability for imaging applications that require excellent sensitivity

(chemiluminescent western blots)

Smart, application-based protocol setup using Image Lab software, which

assists you by presenting appropriate filter and illumination sources for

each application

Dynamic range >4 orders of magnitude

Flexibility to image chemiluminescent, fluorescent, and colorimetric

samples with dynamic flat fielding specific to each application

CCD Camera and Lenses

Either the Gel Doc XR+ or the ChemiDoc XRS+ camera is placed on top of a

lighttight enclosure (the universal hood) for capturing images. The camera comes

with a motorized zoom lens (MZL) that allows remote adjustment of the lens control

functions (zoom, focus, and iris).
