Product news

Don Whitley Scientific Limited (DWS) has announced the launch of a new Petri dish imaging system which can be easily fitted inside a workstation. The system allows plates to be photographed during incubation without necessitating their removal from the workstation environment.

The Whitley Petrifoto System features a Canon compact digital camera with auto focus, a wide angle zoom lens and a 12.1 megapixel high resolution sensor, all designed to elicit good quality images from even the most amateur of photographers.

The unit is small enough to pass through a workstation airlock so that it can be moved in and out of the unit as it is required. The system has an innovative lighting system which consists of a 3D light box fitted with multiple daylight colour temperature LEDs for realistic colour rendition. The box has underside and side lighting which can be controlled independently.

The Whitley Petrifoto System is suitable for all agar and colony types. It comes with an SD memory card and is compatible with Eye-Fi wireless memory cards to allow automatic image transmission to an external PC or MAC.

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.

Microorganisms are a useful research tool as genetic vectors and, in immunology, for antibiotic susceptibility testing, cellular biology and genetics. Microorganisms commonly grow readily in incubators with microbial culture media; this can contain chromogenic supplements to differentiate between cell lines. Estimate your culture’s density of microorganisms with colony counters, or screen and select colonies for desirable clones with automated colony pickers. Additionally, equipment is available to monitor environments for the presence of microbes and identify with microbial identification instruments.
