Fluorescence gel documentation system FastGene FAS-BG

for DNAfor RNAwith CMOS camera

The FastGene FAS-BG LED BOX is the most compact gel documentation systems available. Ideally suited for tight spaces on any bench-top, the system both illuminates and captures an image of your DNA, RNA, or protein gel. The FAS-BG LED BOX boasts a large touchscreen interface and comes equipped with three different illumination modes for even more uses. Blue/Green Mode: An array of blue/green LEDs (515 nm) situated around the periphery of the glass platen provide excitation light for both red- and green–emitting fluorescence dyes. Now you can get great images with traditional EtBr, an impossible feat with “blue-only” LED illuminators! This optimal “transillumination” configuration minimizes ambient background for super sensitive imaging with non-carcinogenic dyes like Midori Green, too. Most importantly, blue/green LEDs are just as sensitive as UV light but don’t damage DNA in an agarose gel—and they won’t harm your skin or your eyes. Trans White Mode: An innovatively-designed white LED array shines uniform backlight for transparent media such as Coomassie-stained protein polyacrylamide gels. This diffuser technology eliminates “hot spots” due to point illumination and provides maximum clarity for colorimetric-stained gels. Epi White Mode: The final mode uses white LED “epi-illumination” for lighting from above. This mode is suited for opaque surfaces such as Western blots and similar highly reflective materials. No matter the illumination mode, the FAS-BG LED BOX system captures images with a high-end, scientific grade, 8 megapixel CMOS camera for wonderful separation of color and resolution of bands.
