Product news

Odyssey Infrared Imaging Systems and LI-COR® reagents have been used for research applications in many different disciplines, including neuroscience, neurobiology, Alzheimer’s Disease, Parkinson’s and more.

Last week LI-COR showcased the Odyssey CLx and the Odyssey Fc, plus the MPX™ Multiplexer Blotting System, and several new products at the Society for Neuroscience annual meeting in New Orleans, LA.

Journal references related to the use of LI-COR's Odyssey systems for research in the Neurosciences include the following:

Odyssey Fc Imaging System

LICORbio

The Odyssey Fc System is the only imaging system that offers superior chemiluminescent detection and the benefits of quantitative infrared Western blot detection as well as the ability to document DNA gels using the 600nm channel.

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. Find the best western blotting equipment in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.ProteomicsProteomics is the systemic bioinformatics study of proteins and amino acids, including their structure, size, function and identification. Tools used in proteomics include chromatography, blotting and gels, protein arrays, mass spectrometry and ELISA and associated analysis software. Analyzers and proteomic systems should be sensitive, high resolution, fast and may be automated for high-throughput.Gel Doc / Image AnalysisGel documentation (gel doc) or gel imaging systems are used for the analysis of proteins, antibodies and nucleic acid immobilized in polyacrylamide or agarose gels, membranes or microarrays. 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.
