With fluorescence, phosphor imaging for northern and southern blots and imaging of large electrophoresis gels and tissues.
Typhoon™ laser scanner- Supporting your research, everyday
Flexible & versatile, Typhoon™ laser scanners have been the researcher’s trusted choice for various applications for decades including:
Phosphor imaging for sensitive radioactive detection of DNA, RNA and other biomolecules.
Florescence imaging in RGB and NIR wavelengths for imaging of gels and blots- Northern, Southern, Western blotting, 2D DIGE, etc.
High resolution tissue section imaging using florescence or radioactive probes
Special applications like microarrays, tissue section imaging, Gel-shift assays (EMSA) and scanning of multiwell plates that require high resolution, sensitivity & large scan area
The power of phosphor imaging in scientific discovery
Despite advances in technology, scientists have been using phosphor imagers like the Typhoon™ laser scanner for radioactive detection because of its high sensitivity, resolution & large scan area (25x40 cm)
In genomics research phosphor imaging is routinely used along with techniques like NGS to detect trace amounts of radiolabeled DNA & RNA. Most common applications are RNA 5’ end modification, cleavage assays and fragment analysis.
Quantitative whole body autoradiography (QWBA) is the method of choice to study the distribution of drug compounds in tissues with the Typhoon™ laser scanners being the gold standard in this highly regulated application
Storage phosphor screens BAS-IP, exclusively from Cytiva are quantitative & offer high sensitivity together with being easy to use & fast!
