Gel documentation system microDOC with UV-Transilluminator

Recently upgraded with a new 24.1 megapixel digital CMOS camera to guarantee superb resolution, the microDOC is the researcher’s choice for a simple ultra-compact gel documentation system that meets constraints in both budget and space within the laboratory. A large 8″ TFT screen enables images, including agarose and fluorescent gels, colorimetric gels, autoradiography film and blotting membrane, to be captured clearly and easily. The system is computer-free and supplied with an 8 GB storage card and 58 mm ethidium bromide filter as standard, while an optional SYBR filter is also available. Files are saved onto the storage card in RAW, TIFF-RGB and JPEG formats and may be transferred to computer for analysis with the highly recommended TotalLab™ 1D software.

microDOC BASIC: The microDOC BASIC is a simple low-cost system comprising a lift-off dark room hood and 24.1 megapixel digital camera, through which the gel is viewed directly. This system can be supplied with optional TotalLab™ 1D Analysis Software and any one of the 21 x 21cm transilluminators (please enquire).

TotalLab™ 1D software: is supplied only as part of a complete package with each of the microDOC and transilluminator options. Its main functions include: lane creation, background subtraction, band detection, profile deconvolution, and molecular size, pI and quantity calibration. More sophisticated standalone software options are available for 1D applications that require band matching, array, colony counting and image ToolBox functionalities.
