What types of gels can this system image?

This system is primarily designed for imaging fluorescently stained DNA/RNA gels (e.g., agarose, polyacrylamide) and can often be adapted for protein gels and blots with appropriate illumination.

Is software included with the unit?

As a used 'Direct-from-Lab' asset, any original software media found with the unit is included as a courtesy. However, the buyer is responsible for all software licensing, registration, and workstation compatibility.

Does this unit require special consumables?

The system itself does not typically require proprietary consumables beyond standard laboratory reagents for gel preparation and staining. Filters may be specific to the unit's camera and illumination.

What maintenance is typically required for a gel imaging system?

Routine maintenance commonly involves cleaning the UV transilluminator and camera lens, and periodically checking UV bulb efficacy. Calibration may be required for quantitative analysis.

Can this system be used for quantitative analysis?

Yes, units of this type, when paired with appropriate software and calibration, are commonly used for quantitative analysis of band intensity and molecular weight determination.

Typical context for this category of equipment. Always confirm specifics with the seller.

Documentation and analysis of DNA/RNA gels (e.g., agarose, polyacrylamide) stained with fluorescent dyes.
Imaging of protein gels (e.g., SDS-PAGE) stained with various detection methods.
Visualisation and capture of blots (e.g., Western, Southern, Northern) for molecular biology research.
General laboratory photography of samples in research and quality control environments.

Imaging Area: Typically accommodates gel sizes up to approximately 20cm x 20cm, suitable for standard electrophoresis gels.
Illumination: Commonly features UV (e.g., 302nm, 365nm) for fluorescent gel imaging, and often includes white light for visible light applications.
Camera Resolution: Units of this type typically incorporate a high-resolution CCD camera, often in the megapixel range, for detailed image capture.
Power Supply: Typically operates on standard laboratory mains power, commonly 230V, 50Hz in the UK.
Footprint: For this class of equipment, the footprint is generally designed for benchtop use, requiring a dedicated space of approximately 50cm x 50cm.
Software: Units are typically supplied with proprietary imaging and analysis software for image acquisition, enhancement, and quantification.

This system is primarily designed for imaging fluorescently stained DNA/RNA gels (e.g., agarose, polyacrylamide) and can often be adapted for protein gels and blots with appropriate illumination.

Used microscopes are widely regarded as reliable investments when sourced from reputable suppliers. Buyers typically prioritize optical quality, mechanical condition and calibration history. Key considerations include lens cleanliness, stage functionality and electronic components if applicable. Industrial and laboratory users consistently value equipment with documented maintenance records and original accessories. Established brands tend to retain functionality well across decades. Buyers should verify light source operability and request detailed condition reports before purchase to ensure equipment meets specific magnification and resolution requirements.
