Syngene has introduced the G:BOX mini, a compact, upgradable, multi-application system for all types of gel and Western blot imaging. Featuring a motorised stage, high-performance camera and the option to add high-intensity light-emitting diode (HI-LED) lighting, this system offers the ideal solution for laboratories that need application flexibility without compromising on accuracy.
Building on the technology behind the G:BOX range, the G:BOX mini can image and resolve close bands or spots, even on complex 2D gels. Combining a motorised stage and super-cooled camera, the G:BOX mini generates true-to-life, low-noise optical images.
With the option to add high-intensity blue, green, red and infrared HI-LEDS that are up to 200 times brighter than standard LEDs, the new G:BOX mini claims faster exposure times than most compact CCD-based systems. The application-driven GeneSys software that controls the G:BOX mini makes it quick and simple for researchers to set-up their optimum filter and lighting combinations to image multiplexed fluorescent and infrared dyes, DNA and stain-free protein gels. The software also auto-calibrates to each gel or blot’s size.
