Gel Documentation System now with 8” Screen and 1GB Flash Card

A new, ultra-compact, transportable and inexpensive gel documentation system, which is easy-to-use and set-up, is the latest addition to the CLEAVER SCIENTIFIC range of electrophoresis products. The CSL MicroDOC is capable of producing high quality images thanks to its integral 16 bit CCD digital camera, which provides excellent resolution to 8.0 mega pixels.

The system enables a wide variety of images to be viewed from a new high definition 8” TFT liquid crystal colour display which can then be captured from agarose, other fluorescent gels, colorimetric gels, auto-radiography film and blotting membranes. It also includes a 55mm ethidium bromide filter with a built-in safety switch to allow the UV Transilluminator to be turned-off when the door is open.

Files can be saved in a variety of formats such as tif, jpeg, raw image or QuickTime ready for transfer to computer systems for storage and further analysis. The system includes a 1 GB flash card which provides double the previous image capacity and flash reader for easy data transfer while printing can be performed directly from MicroDOC using the included USB cable which also permits direct connection to a computer.

The compact and competitively priced Microdoc system will be particularly suited to laboratories where space and budgets are limited as it can be used completely independently of a PC.
