CHEMIDOC MP IMAGING INSTRUMENT

The ChemiDoc MP Imaging System is a full-feature instrument for imaging and analyzing gels and western blots. It is designed to address multiplex fluorescent western blotting, chemiluminescence detection, general gel documentation applications, and stain-free technology imaging needs. All-in-one flexible imaging — get precise, reproducible fluorescence, chemiluminescence, and colorimetric gel and blot detection, analysis and documentation in a single system. Improve your imaging capabilities with the ChemiDoc MP; benefit from the advantages of using a wider range of fluorescent reporters (RGB, far red, and near infrared) including StarBright Fluorophores; see the fluorophore compatibility chart.

Multiplex fluorescent western blotting — detect up to three proteins simultaneously and eliminate the need for stripping and reprobing

Ease of use — features include automatic selection of optimal light source by application, auto focus, auto exposure, and preview features ensure optimal images. Learn in minutes with on screen help

Stain-free protein normalization — stain-free imaging permits the normalization of bands to total protein in both in gels and blots; eliminates the need for housekeeping proteins

Sample Trays and Smart Tray Technology — three sample trays available to cover diverse imaging applications. Smart Tray Technology automatically recognizes the application-specific trays and adjusts imaging parameters and software options accordingly

Installation/Operational Qualification kit available for ensuring installation and calibration is properly executed for highly regulated laboratory environments.

Performing Stain-Free western blotting using the ChemiDoc MP System provides the ability to rapidly assess electrophoresis and blot transfer quality prior to blot processing, to perform total protein normalization and multiplexing using a wide rance of fluorophores.
