Great images, wonderful customer care and the price was right!
Imaging westernblot membranes
We recently switched over to this digital imaging system from the traditional film and chemical method. We have no regrets and love the images that we are able to get from this system. We were provided with unlimited access to the application specialist who came in to help us with the training. He offered to come in and help as much as we needed until we were all comfortable with the software. Their customer care surpassed our expectation. The best part was the price!

Great results very quickly.
Viewing DNA gels and western blots
The G:Box is extremely user friendly. The equipment is heavily used by multiple labs and we have had no problems. Anytime someone has a question the sales rep, is accessible with assistance and further follow up. After sales care is the most important issue after any equipment is purchased. It is excellent for the G:Box. For all the use it gets the value for Money is excellent.

G:BOX Chemi Multi Fluorescence and Chemiluminescence Imaging Systems
Great research comes from accurate Western blot and gel data. With so many ways to image chemiluminescence, fluorescent and visible dyes, you need to know which imaging systems truly capture real results.
Multiplexing LI-COR IRDye 680LT and IRDye 800CW
This application note outlines a method for fluorescence-based detection of proteins on Western blots. Using fluorescence-based fluorophores increases sample throughput and can make multiplexing several fluorophores less time consuming.
SafeView Dye: An Overview
This application note provides a brief overview of SafeView dye from NBS Biologicals, a nucleic acid stain used in gel electrophoresis for the detection of double-strandedA (dsDNA), single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) or RNA.
G:BOX iChemi XR & XT forImaging Ribonuclease Protection Assays
Gene Expression and protein activity within a cell are of great interest to researchers. Changes in cellular mRNA levels are of particular interest as these changes directly correlate in their corresponding protein levels, there are however exceptions to the rule. Many scientists study gene expression by monitoring the response of mRNA molecules to genetic manipulations this is often accomplished by using a number of different techniques including Northern blotting, RTPCR and nuclease protection assays.
Overview of Ethidium Bromide Dyes
This application note provides an overview of ethidium bromide dyes, commonly used in agarose gel electrophoresis to detect double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) and single-stranded DNA (ss) or RNA.

Chemiluminescent Western Blot Imaging Using ChemiFast Substrate
The commonly used western blotting substrates are luminol-based and produce a chemiluminescent signal. Substrates such as ChemiFast are highly sensitive, enhanced chemiluminescent substrates. In this application note, learn how the ChemiFast substrate’s extremely intense signal output enables detection of HRP using cooled charge-coupled device (CCD) camera imaging methods.
Stain-Free Method for Western Blotting
Western blotting is a molecular biology tool commonly used for the detection of relative expression. The reliable assessment of changes in target protein levels by Western blot requires measurements of both the target and loading control proteins in the linear dynamic range. Stain-free technology allows the visualization and quantification of proteins in gels and blots.
Dynamic Fielding for Syngene Image Capture Systems
Some manufacturers use a Flat Field Correction method in order to address uneven illumination of light sources. This involves subtracting the image information from an empty field of view or ‘perfectly flat’ fluorescent reference sample from that of the same field of view with the gel added. As this process involves the subtraction of one image from another, the integrity of the raw data of the initial captured image is compromised. Such manipulation is incompatible with Good Laboratory Practice (GLP). Syngene uses the Dynamic Fielding Correction method to address uneven light illumination whilst maintaining GLP compliance.
Pixel Binning for Improved Sensitivity
Pixel binning is a process that further enhances sensitivity of a CCD sensor in terms of the speed of image acquisition. This process involves taking square groups of pixels and combining them into one ‘super’ pixel, capable of holding much more light. This has the effect of reducing required exposure times. It is however important to realize that the drawback of pixel binning is a reduction in image resolution. This application note explains the different types of pixel binning available, to maximize speed of image collection whilst maintaining the quality of your images.
