This instrument detects and quantitates visible and UV wavelengths. It can be used for X-Ray films, stained wet gels including protein and DNA gels, as well as for general photography. In addition, the ChemiImager can detect fluorescent dyes and measure chemiluminescence. It can therefore be used for Westerns, Southerns, Northerns etc., when using the appropiate dyes.
Various filters are attached already, others are available.
It uses a cooled CCD camera and is quite sensitive. We also have an adapter to hook into the inverted fluorescence microscope.
