Product news

GE Healthcare presents ImageQuant™ 350, a high-value, high-performance digital imaging solution designed for sensitive and quantitative imaging of Western blots and other monochromatic fluorescence and colorimetric imaging applications.

ImageQuant 350 has the sensitivity to detect and quantitate low abundant proteins on a Western blot down to 9.8 pg. The true 16-bit cooled CCD camera offers greater dynamic range than film and is optimized for use with Amersham™ ECL Western blotting reagents.

The 2 megapixel CCD affords high resolution for gels and films up to 21 x 16 cm. Image capture and analysis are performed using single button operations. ImageQuant TL is a shared software platform with the Storm™ and Typhoon™ imagers for data analysis. ImageQuant 350 is an essential tool to facilitate the migration to a digital darkroom.

Western BlottingWestern blotting equipment is used to transfer and identify specific proteins within a sample, reveal protein modifications, as well as give a semi-quantitative estimation of their concentration. Western blotting equipment includes all apparatus necessary to transfer proteins from gel to membrane and subsequent processing steps. Protein transfer can be performed by electroblotting with wet, semi-dry and dry transfer systems onto nitrocellulose and PVDF membranes. Blocking, washing and labeling of membranes follows, involving buffers, blocking reagents, blotting / incubation trays, labeling reagents, immunoblotting assays, antibodies and conjugates. Automated equipment for these steps is available to accelerate your lab workflow. Finally, detection and imaging of proteins can be conducted using gel documentation and imaging systems.

Explore a range of a gel imaging systems, densitometers, scanners, transilluminators or UV lamp + CCD cameras for your image analysis solutions. Colorimetric, fluorescent and/or radioisotopic samples can be visualized and documented for further analysis. See gel doc / Image analysis software for quantitative 1D and 2D analysis of your samples.
