Product news

UVP is pleased to announce the release of the upgraded GelDoc-It™TS Imaging System with a new large 15” VGA screen. High resolution fluorescent imaging just got easier with the GelDoc-It TS touch screen capabilities and built-in computer.

The all-in-one system design minimizes equipment on the laboratory workbench. Researchers can easily view images on the large screen and use the touch technology to control system settings. Alex Waluszko, VP of Marketing and Sales, states “UVP is the proven market leader in gel documentation systems worldwide. The release of the new GelDoc-It TS with its upgrade to a 15 inch touch screen makes the GelDoc-It TS a simple to use and cost effective gel documentation and analysis system. The GelDoc-It TS system has proven itself in the research marketplace and this new version makes it even easier to use.”

The system presents many components to enable easy to use imaging:

  • High resolution, scientific grade CCD camera, with conveniently located zoom lens, enables researches to capture high quality images of gels, plates, membranes and more!
  • See a live preview of images on the large 15” monitor with angle adjustment for optimum viewing. The touch screen capabilities and built-in computer and software make it easy to select various settings including image integration time, saturation warning and print options. Save images to the computer, USB memory stick or connect to a network for transfer of images to a separate computer via ftp capabilities.
  • Fluoresce a wide range of stained gels
  • The darkroom features a wide access door, overhead white and unique UV blocking viewing window for viewing samples without opening the door.
  • The roll out tray inside the darkroom makes it easy to access the UV transilluminator – select from multiple wavelength transilluminators or the FirstLight UV illuminator.
  • The modular design allows flexibility with the ability of adding optional equipment including UV lamps for overhead UV illumination, converter plates for converting UV to white light (for viewing Coomassie blue or silver stains) or 460nm (for viewing SYBR Green Stains) and 256-gray scale thermal printer.

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.
