Excellent sensitivity and feature set, fantastic for westerns and all other gels.

 

Average Rating 5.0

Application Area:

Protein detection, protei-protein interactions, nucleic acids imaging

Purchased this to replace our aging film developer. I've been a staunch user of film for over 25 years and until the Azure 600 showed up, I never found a digital system to match film's sensitivity. With the Azure 600, my lab has stopped using film altogether as the sensitivity and ease of use beats film. Capture software is easy to use, and the analysis software is good (but could use some improvement). Fluorescent and ECL capture works great, and allows us to multiplex with different fluorophores when using fluorescent antibodies. Detection of silver stained proteins is also excellent, where you can see bands that are not visible with a naked eye. My lab tested 3 different imagers before settling on this one, and we do not regret our choice one bit. Overall, a fantastic and powerful imager that now is used daily by my lab and others at my institution after the word of it has spread.

Azure 600 is easy to use and is great for all of your western blot needs

 

Average Rating 5.0

Application Area:

Analysis of western blots

The Azure 600 is easy to use and has been very helpful with my western blot analysis. The software is easy to use and I can get reproducible results. The ability to analyze for green or red wavelength of light is very helpful for being able to use different primary and secondary antibodies for my western blot analysis. I highly recommend Azure biosystems if you are in the market for a machine that can analyze your western blots for you and give you reproducible results.

Application Area:

Multiple tissue samples on 1 blot

Wow! Amazing piece of machinery! Easy to transfer over from later models to newer models! Customer service is absolutely fantastic! We have had nothing but excellent experience with this company, their equipment, and their very friendly very knowledgeable staff. The C600 is very user-friendly with great imaging and quality. We love that we can save lots of time and material by using NIR to image multiple protein targets at the same time on the same blot- fluorescent western blot function. Makes our job so much more efficient and effective

Quick and easy imaging for many types of gels

 

Average Rating 5.0

Application Area:

Image agarose gels, protein gels, and western blots

Bought a brand new C600 Imager and traded in our old C200 at the same time, and the process was super easy and smooth. The Technical Product Specialist I spoke with, Emma Paytas, was very knowledgeable and responded quickly to my emails, so I was able to make a well-informed and timely decision on which Imager would best fit our company's needs. The installation and set-up was very simple, and would be intuitive for someone with no prior experience using the machine. They sent a hard-sided case and padding to trade our old imager in, so I didn't have to worry about finding proper packaging to keep it from being damaged in transit. Our new Imager works great, with clear images of all our gels, and quick upload speed to our cloud.

Wonderful instrument! Terrific value and customer support!

Application Area:

Immunoblotting

We've been very pleased with the Azure 600 Gel Imaging System. The quality and limit of detection for both the chemiluminescence and near-IR images is outstanding. Image acquisition is straightforward and user-friendly. The after-sales support is top notch - as there have been additional software upgrades and peripheral devices that were rolled-out post purchase. We've been happy with the new features. Our main contact at Azure (Vic Gagne) has been amazing. What sets this system apart from some of the bigger vendors is the ease-of-use and the personalized customer support. If your lab or core facility is looking for an imaging system, I highly recommend the Azure 600 Gel Imaging System.

Western imaging and nucleotide gels

The c600 has been an essential workhorse in the lab since the day we bought it. With countless westerns and more than a fair share of nucleotide gels being imaged and analyzed using it. I greatly appreciate being able to switch quickly between applications and methods, as well as not needing proprietary software to view my data. It's been given 4/5 stars for ease of use only because you need to know how to ask the software what you want it to show you, which can be a bit of a learning curve. Once you understand the software though you can dial in your settings much more easily than with other machines I've used. It also offers a more push and capture option when you're expecting a strong response and just want to capture an image. I've been very happy with how their program balances weak signals and stronger signals since I'm often using the same blot for 7-10 proteins. With aftercare, Azure has been fantastic! They check in to make sure everything is going well, and to see if they can help with anything more just enough that it's not intrusive but often enough that you don't worry that they forgot about you.

The Azure 600 is the only system that offers two channel laser based IR detection, chemiluminescent detection with the speed and sensitivity of film, the ability to image visible fluorescent dyes, and the ability to image standard EtBr and protein gels. Infrared Laser Excitation for Quantitative Western Blot Imaging in the NIR Improve Your Data Quality Imaging with infrared dyes offers signal stability and low background fluorescence Imaging with NIR dyes allows you to study multiple proteins in a blot, even if those proteins overlap in molecular weight.

The Azure 600 offers laser technology with two IR detection channels enabling a user to image more than one protein in an assay. Sensitive Detection of Proteins with Chemiluminescent Westerns Get Out of the Dark The Azure 600 provides accurate and fast chemiluminescent detection, as well as the sensitivity, dynamic range, and linearity needed for quantitative blot analysis.

Get the best picture every time, and stop wasting money on film. Use Cy®5/Cy®3/Cy®2 Dyes, Blue-Excited DNA Dyes, and more. A Total Solution for Western Blot Imaging and Gel Documentation The Azure 600 is a multichannel, multimodal imager, with IR, visible light, and UV excitation channels. Detect Cy dyes, Alexa® dyes, Safe dyes, and more Also included is AzureSpot, an easy-to-use imaging software package for imaging single or multicolor blots and DNA and protein gels.
