Bio-Rad ChemiDoc XRS+ Imaging System
The ChemiDoc XRS+ Gel Imaging System is a fast detection system for chemiluminescence, fluorescence, and colorimetric imaging.
The system accommodates a wide array of samples, from large handcast polyacrylamide gels to small ReadyAgarose Gels and various blots. The system is an ideal accompaniment to PCR, purification, and electrophoresis systems, enabling image analysis and documentation of restriction digests, amplified nucleic acids, genetic fingerprinting, RFLPs, and protein purification and characterization.
The ChemiDoc XRS+ System offers fast and sensitive chemiluminescence detection in addition to gel and blot documentation of fluorescent and colorimetric samples. The system includes a supersensitive 16-bit CCD camera that is supercooled for detection of faint samples. The ChemiDoc XRS+ imager can be used for imaging with a wide variety of applications that require high resolution and sensitivity (such as chemiluminescent western blots).
