Azure C500: Easy-to-use and sentitive.
Application Area: Analyze presence of protein in tissue samples
"I needed to find a way to look for two different proteins in our samples without cutting our membranes. Azure c500 was available in our building so I tried it, and the ease-of-use of the system completely conquered me. Images are really good and with high sensitivity. I'm trying to convince all my lab to use it also for chemiluminescence!"

Really good equipment.
Application Area:Analyze presence of protein in tissue samples
"I had to develop a duo fluorescent western blot assay and we had the possibility to use the Azure c500. Really easy to use, I don't know if it could be easier. The quality of the images are really good. The rest of my lab prefer to use TMB and films... I will do my best to change their mind."

Fantastic instrument!
Application Area:Western blotting and DNA gels from cell and tissue samples
"The system is super user friendly and was significantly less expensive than a better-known alternative. I love the idea of being able to use ECL, NIR, and UV in one small instrument! The company is local to the Bay Area and the service reps are just the best I've interacted with. There are 2 minor things that could be improved: 1: The red laser lane is too strong, which makes it difficult to work with WB ladders or total protein stains, 2: The tablet does not have enough memory, but I really like not having a separate computer for this piece of equipment. In my view, this is the best all-in-one instrument on the market. I would buy it again."

Operation of capture software is easy, reduces instrument manager’s training work.
Application Area:Instrument management
"We purchased a c500 imager from Azure several years before, this system runs still stable now. The excellent resolution and the sensitivity give us many quality sample images. The c500 contains many functions such as gel, ECL western blot, NIR fluorescence, it is a very important aspect for instrument platform. The operation of the capture software is very easy, it can reduce instrument manager’s training work. The service is perfect, the technical support of Azure helps us to training and support several times when we need."

Azure c500 gel imaging system is revolutionary and the expert after care astounding.
Application Area:Western and Northern Blotting
"The Azure C500 gel imaging system has been an invaluable tool in our lab. It has revolutionised the blotting process. Images are spectacular and the analysis software is very user friendly. This machine makes these techniques more reliable and easier to perform. Recently we had problems with it and called for a service. The customer care and works carried out were outstanding. The work was completed in fantastic time to such a high standard. Our machine is like brand new again. I am most impressed by this level of care. Many thanks to Jan Wolfram at Azure Biosystems and Kevin Chalmers at Cambridge Bioscience. I highly recommend the Azure C500 for ease of use and functionality and the team that help look after it."
The Azure c500 is the only system that offers two channel laser based IR detection, chemiluminescent detection with the speed and sensitivity of film, and the ability to image standard EtBr and protein gels.
