Application Area:

Western blots on mouse tissue samples

Very user-friendly software, that is easy to learn. The imager occupies a small lab space that is a huge advantage. There is a possibility to upgrade to fluorescence, that might worth considering.

G:BOX mini is a compact, multi application imaging system for accurately imaging mini and midi fluorescence and visible gels, multiplex fluorescence westerns, stain-free gels and chemiluminescent blots.
Need to quantify multiple different fluorescent proteins on one blot and capture images of chemi blots, but your lab is limited on space? Then the G:BOX mini is just the compact imaging powerhouse you’ve been looking for. With stain-free, RGB and IR excitation options for Alexa Fluor® 488, 546, 647 and IR dyes, you’re just a click away from brilliant multiplex images from one single Western.

Using the G:BOX mini you’ll also get perfectly exposed images of your chemi labelled proteins without the bother of film. Simply place your blot in the darkroom, click on GeneSys capture software and your imager will do the rest with no fuss and no messy chemicals.

G:BOX mini is a compact, multi-application imaging system combining a unique motor driven stage and cooled high resolution 6 or 9 megapixel camera enabling you to generate accurate optical images, not just digitally enhanced ones. With a G:BOX mini you’ll see separate close chemi and fluorescent bands or spots even on complex gels and know they’re really part of your data.

HI-LED lighting options cover the full spectrum of high intensity blue, green, red and infra-red resulting in faster exposure times and publication quality images.

The system is controlled by GeneSys application driven image capture software and comes complete with unlimited copies of GeneTools analysis software.

G:Box Mini: Detection with a Difference

Built on the successful G:BOX range, the G:BOX mini is a compact, multi-application powerhouse for accurately imaging fluorescence and visible gels, multiplexed fluorescence westerns, stain-free gels and chemiluminescent blots.

Application NoteLife Sciences

Comparing Criterion TGX Stain-Free gels to standard Coomassie staining procedures

In this application note, Syngene outlines how users can successfully image Criterion TGX Stain-Free gels using any Syngene G:BOX imaging system by using the recommended lighting and filter combination, 302nm UV transilluminator and UV filter. The stain-free method of visualizing cells has comparable sensitivity to that of more traditional techniques such as Coomassie Blue Safe staining and also has the potential to significantly reduce the lengthy SDS-PAGE workflow.
