Although we refer to ‘gel documentation systems’ as such, this name doesn’t begin to cover the myriad of applications that today’s systems can handle. For gel documentation, these systems offer an array of options for visualizing your nucleic acid or protein gels, including chemiluminescent and fluorescent detection. But they don’t stop there; use many of these same systems to visualize blots, plates or microarrays. Control the light source and the method of image capture to safely and easily document your results. You can find the system that’s right for you by perusing the product listings and links below.
