Gel Imaging Systems

Gel imaging systems, also known as gel documentation systems or gel docs, capture high-quality images of electrophoresis gels, blots, as well as other samples like culture plates. Digital imaging of gels not only provides the benefits of convenient and effective data storage, but also allows advanced quantification and analysis. Many gel imagers use high-resolution cameras with detection capabilities such as visible light, UV, chemiluminescence, fluorescence, densitometric, luminescence, and infrared. Imagers that are equipped with multiple fluorescence channels, can enable multiplex analysis of nucleic acid and protein blots. Many systems often come with auto-exposure and auto-focusing options, as well as image analysis and editing software to produce publication-quality images. Browse our catalog of gel imagers and compare between different suppliers to find the appropriate instrument for your research. When choosing, consider attributes such as detection capabilities, resolution, capacity, applications, and cost.
