Product news

Syngene, a world-leading manufacturer of image analysis solutions is delighted to announce that it is exhibiting its latest image analysis systems in Hall 009, Stand F49 at Biotechnica. This will allow scientists looking for inexpensive gel documentation, right though to sophisticated proteomics imaging, to save time by viewing the best systems currently on the market, in just one place.

At Biotechnica, Syngene is showcasing new G:BOX Chemi, its affordable automated chemiluminescence image analyser and GeneFlash, its budget gel documentation system. The G:BOX Chemi features an upgraded 16 bit ultra cooled camera, providing great sensitivity of faint bands and spot images, as well as the lowest background noise of any chemiluminescence imager in its class. The new GeneFlash also has an upgraded camera linked to a new ATM style interface, making it quicker and easier to use the system and to accurately record PC and Mac compatible gel images to USB Flash Drive.

Also on Stand F49, is the high resolution 2D gel imager, Dyversity, and Dymension, Syngene’s powerful 2D gel analysis software. Dyversity, which offers a camera with fast capture times for Cy dyes can be fitted with filters and Cy dye lighting modules, allowing scientists to construct the best system for maximum performance with their 2D gel imaging research. Additionally, Dymension is on show to demonstrate how high quality images produced by Dyversity can be analysed to generate the world’s fastest 2D gel imaging results.

Laura Sullivan, Syngene’s Divisional Manager commented: “We are delighted to have the best of our image analysis range ready for Biotechnica because they embody the breadth of our considerable imaging expertise. We are confident that scientists looking for simple DNA imaging or analysis of complex protein blots and 2D gels will find the perfect image analysis system on Stand F49 and look forward to letting them discover for themselves how a GeneFlash, G:BOX Chemi or Dyversity will help save valuable time and improve the accuracy of their research.”

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.OligonucleotidesOligonucleotides are small nucleic acid polymers, usually less than 20 bases in length. Oligonucleotides can be made via enzymatic cleavage or more commonly by chemical synthesis with polymerases. Their use includes FISH, southern blots, microarrays and as primers in PCR. High fidelity synthesis kits and detection systems are available for easy production and detection, respectively.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. Find the best gel doc / image analysis products in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Microarray AnalysisMicroarrays, also known as biochips, are used for the detection and analysis of multiple genes, proteins, antibodies, or biomarkers on a single microchip. This can reveal information on protein or gene expression, single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), copy number variation (CNV), epigenetics and patient health in clinical diagnostic tests. Discover a range of microarray scanners and prefabricated antibody, protein, RNA and DNA microarrays for your analysis or consider creating your own custom microarrays with a microarray printer.
