"I have the PXi6 Touch imaging system that we use for western blot imaging. It is an excellent system that produces great results and has actually produced more sensitive results than the film we switched away from. We chose this system over the Bio-Rad systems because of Syngene's software was easy to use, and its ability to upgrade to fluorescent blots just in case we ever want to in the future. It's a great system, and we are really happy we went with it over any of the other systems we looked at. "
The PXi range consists of new high resolution, multi-application image analysis systems.
The design is compact, easy to use and offers full automation in the capture of chemiluminescent and fluorescent blots, visible gels and blots and even 2D gels. PXi/PXi Touch are available in three versions with a 4, 6 or 9 million pixel camera and suitable lens. PXi Access is available with a 6 or 9 million pixel camera and suitable lens. The high performance cameras result in the systems having exceptional sensitivity. Chemiluminescence blots and faint fluorescent bands can therefore be easily imaged and captured.
PXi Touch and PXi Access Touch have their own built-in screens and processors whereas the PXi is used with an external PC. The PXi range can be used for a wide range of applications. A number of lighting options can be utilized including IR illumination, Red light, Blue light, Green light and the UltraSlim blue LED transilluminator. An integral 7 position filter wheel can accommodate a wide range of Syngene filters.
The systems are controlled by the acclaimed GeneSys acquisition and capture software. Using its vast database, GeneSys can automatically configure PXi/PXi Touch/PXi Access to capture any type of image. This high performance range has been designed to be able to excel at a wide range of applications and therefore makes the ideal workstation for any busy laboratory. Its sleek styling compliments any laboratory while its ease of use will attract a wide number of users working across numerous fields.
