Highly Recommend the Azure 280 Imaging System
Western Blot
We have been working with an Azure 280 imaging system (AI280) from Azure biosystems for one full year, and we cannot be more pleased with this instrument. As a low-cost and high-performance imaging system, Azure 280 was the right instrument for us. It is very easy to use and has identical capabilities to the more costly Azure 300 with the only exception that it is not upgradeable. We use the instrument almost on a daily basis, and with one year in, the instrument is performing as if it were brand new. I highly recommend it!

Great imaging system!
Western blots, gel imaging
We have Azure 280 imager, it's the first product we bought from Azure and are very happy with it. It looks great, easy setup and very user friendly. We use it mostly for western blots and gel imaging.

Easy to Use, Low Cost and High Performing Imaging System
Western Blot
One year ago (August 2021), we purchased an Azure 280 imaging system (AZI280) from Azure biosystems. We wanted a low-cost yet high-performance and quantitative Western Blot imaging system, and Azure 280 was exactly what we needed. The Azure 280 is easy to use and has identical capabilities to the Azure 300, but it is just not upgradeable. However, we were offered the option to upgrade in the future (if we wanted to) by trade-in. Nathan Hemendinger, the director of Eastern North America at Azure Biosystems was courteous and very accommodating. He even offered us a free one-year extended warranty.

Excellent results, easy to use, and great value for money.
DNA gels
I am used to working on BioRad systems. Azure 280 is easier to use and, for DNA gels, gives much clearer pictures. When we had technical difficulties, the manual clearly spelled out how to address them. The system is very compact. It takes up a tiny amount of bench space compared to any other imager I have used. If you can come up with 40cm x 40cm, you can fit this machine. The only problem I have had so far is it only has 2 USB ports, meaning I can only connect two of three of a mouse, keyboard and flash drive. However, this is not a large issue for me.

Excellent piece of kit
Gel imaging/documentation
The Azure c280 really is an excellent system, and the service from Cambridge Bioscience (the UK distributor) has been exceptional. Okay, this is the 'budget' model which lacks the fluorescence and near IR capability of the more expensive systems, but what it does (colour imaging/chemiluminescence of proteins/DNA/RNA gel imaging, it does really very well. It is quick to start, easy to use and simple to transfer files from with a small footprint on the bench. What more could you ask for?
