Gel, Blot and In Vivo Imaging with UVP BioImaging Systems

UVP manufactures a wide range of BioImaging Systems for gel, blot and in vivo imaging applications plus ultraviolet and laboratory products.

The iBox® Explorer™² Imaging Microscope enables brilliant resolution macro to micro technology for fluorescence in vivo animal imaging. The iBox Explorer provides breakthrough advances with dual lighting and software-controlled objectives for imaging of whole animals, tissue margins to individual cells. The leading-edge cooled CCD camera enables quick detection and high resolution image capture. A computer/touch screen monitor is loaded with the easy to use VisionWorks^®LS software. The BioLite™ Xe light source provides brilliant illumination for multispectral fluorescent, visible and NIR excitation. The iBox Explorer is for applications including tumor shedding and angiogenesis, micro/macro metastases, tumor/host margins and interactions and primary tumor growth.

UVP, LLC announces the release of the new GelMax™ Imager which is designed for fast, easy imaging of precast and mini gels. The GelMax accommodates a wide range of precast and mini gels up to 11.5 x 16cm in size. Illuminate, capture and analyze gels with this easy to use system. Easily illuminate gels in the GelMax with multiple transillumination light sources for maximizing fluorophore stain excitation. Select from midrange 302nm UV (built into the unit) plus interchangeable plates: Visi-Blue™ Plate converts UV to 460-470nm blue light, White Light Plate and Longwave 365nm UV. GelMax is the only gel imager researchers will need for imaging of precast and mini gels. For GelMax Imager information, go to http://j.mp/MiRfJd.

The new ChemiDoc-It^®TS2 Imager enables quick and simple image capture with the touch of the screen. The integrated computer, touch screen and exclusive capture software simplify workflow for imaging of chemiluminescent, fluorescent and colorimetric gels and blots. The built-in computer creates a networkable, stand-alone system. Researchers can easily save images to a USB stick or transfer to a network computer for further analysis or documentation. ChemiDoc-ItTS2 optimizes gel and chemiluminescent blot imaging with the highly sensitive megapixel resolution, cooled CCD camera. View low light samples in the light-tight darkroom which creates an optimum environment for chemiluminescent blots.

UVP’s BioImaging Systems include the BioSpectrum^® Imaging System with the new MegaCam 810 scientific grade CCD camera. Achieve enhanced image capture with the camera's dynamic 8.1 megapixel high resolution and high sensitivity capabilities. Researchers can capture not only fluorescence gel images, they can also be assured camera sensitivity and efficient ultra-cooled technology permits superior capture of chemiluminescent western blots. Perform multiplex fluorescent western blot imaging by adding a BioLiteTM MultiSpectral Light Source to enable excitation of a wide range of stains.

BioImaging Systems include the GelDoc-It^® series imagers for high resolution gel imaging and analysis. Select from imagers with a built-in computer/touch screen or an external computer/monitor. Perform basic gel documentation with the BioDoc-It^® Imaging System, a compact stand-alone unit with built-in touch screen.

UVP manufactures a large selection of ultraviolet products. The UV lamps feature handheld, high intensity, bench models and miniature Pen-Ray^® Light sources for uses including fluorescence, inspection, analytical and sterilization applications. Ultraviolet products include a large selection of UV transilluminators, UV crosslinkers and UV cabinets plus UV intensity meters for measuring the useful life of a UV source.

Additional UVP products include HEPA/UV PCR hoods and workstations. HEPA systems feature four-stage filter system. Precision heated hybridization ovens include the unique HL-2000 HybriLinker features a hybridization oven and UV crosslinker chambers in one unit for maximizing procedures.
