Product news

Alpha Innotech Corp., a leading provider of bioanalytical systems for drug discovery and life science research, announces its latest imaging system for laboratory research, the AlphaDigiDoc® Pro. The AlphaDigiDoc Pro is an easy-to-use documentation system that captures sharp, high resolution black and white or color images.

Designed for labs with limited budgets, users select only those light sources and filters they require for their applications. Applications of the AlphaDigiDoc® Pro include fluorescent dyes, such as Ethidium Bromide, SYBR® Green, SYBR® Safe and Hoechst Blue, as well as white light applications, such as coomassie stained protein gels and silver staining.

With the launch of the AlphaDigiDoc Pro, Alpha Innotech also releases AlphaProView™ image capture software, a streamlined software interface that easily navigates users through the process of acquiring an image. AlphaProView software enables scientists to customize exposure times for their images, easily zoom in and out on their samples, and view their images in color or black and white.

The AlphaDigiDoc Pro can also be used as a stand-alone system. Scientist can save their images to the camera’s memory card, and print directly to a USB printer.

“With industry leading specifications and ease of use, AlphaDigiDoc Pro provides scientists an economical platform for digital imaging,” commented Lisa Valdin, Marketing Manager of Alpha Innotech.

Genome AnalysisGenomics, the study of genomes, includes functional genomics, evolutionary genomics and comparative genomics. There are many genomic technologies such as DNA sequencing of whole genomes, computational biology and bioinformatics. DNA and nucleic acids must be isolated and concentrated from cells for analysis with kits, automated analyzers and software. Other useful technologies for studying genomics include PCR, microarrays and electrophoresis.ProteomicsProteomics is the systemic bioinformatics study of proteins and amino acids, including their structure, size, function and identification. Tools used in proteomics include chromatography, blotting and gels, protein arrays, mass spectrometry and ELISA and associated analysis software. Analyzers and proteomic systems should be sensitive, high resolution, fast and may be automated for high-throughput.Gel Doc / Image AnalysisGel documentation (gel doc) or gel imaging systems are used for the analysis of proteins, antibodies and nucleic acid immobilized in polyacrylamide or agarose gels, membranes or microarrays. Explore a range of a gel imaging systems, densitometers, scanners, transilluminators or UV lamp + CCD cameras for your image analysis solutions. Colorimetric, fluorescent and/or radioisotopic samples can be visualized and documented for further analysis. See gel doc / Image analysis software for quantitative 1D and 2D analysis of your samples.
