Syngene, a world-leading manufacturer of image analysis solutions, is delighted to introduce the new version of the G:BOX Chemi XT16 automated chemiluminescence and fluorescence imaging and analysis system, featuring many innovations to make it the most sensitive and flexible system available in its class.

Inside a newly designed light-tight darkroom, the G:BOX Chemi XT16 has the latest 16 bit camera with a new f 0.95 variable aperture lens, making it possible to quickly and easily produce accurate images of large gels and blots. To save time, the G:BOX Chemi XT16 also has PC control of its motor driven stage which allows the system to memorise and feed back set positions for specific applications. The camera, a highly sensitive 6.3 effective mega pixel resolution is ultra cooled to guarantee the G:BOX Chemi XT16 will separate close band and spot images with virtually no background noise, even when imaging chemiluminescence blots for long exposure times.

Additionally, the new G:BOX Chemi XT16 darkroom comes with a state-of-the-art overhead EPI white lighting module, a UV to Visible light NovaGlo converter screen and a 20cm x 20cm UV transilluminator (other sizes available) to allow rapid and accurate imaging of common DNA and protein stains such as Ethidium Bromide, SYBR® Green, SYBR® Safe, Coomassie Blue, Deep Purple™, Pro-Q® Diamond, silver stain and SYPRO® Ruby. For additional imaging applications the G:BOX Chemi XT16 can easily be fitted with Syngene’s new Epi RGB LED lighting, dual UV Epi or blue Epi lighting, precision filters and a blue light converter screen ensuring its suitability for accurately imaging a host of different sample types.

Laura Sullivan, Syngene’s Divisional Manager commented: “We are pleased with our updated G:BOX Chemi XT16 as its new features mean the system is not only the most sensitive of its type on the market for chemiluminescence, but is also excellent for many fluorescence imaging applications. Scientists demanding premier imaging performance to help increase the accuracy and speed of their molecular biology research need look no further than a G:BOX Chemi XT16.”

Genome AnalysisGenomics, the study of genomes, includes functional genomics, evolutionary genomics and comparative genomics. There are many genomic technologies such as DNA sequencing of whole genomes, computational biology and bioinformatics. DNA and nucleic acids must be isolated and concentrated from cells for analysis with kits, automated analyzers and software. Other useful technologies for studying genomics include PCR, microarrays and electrophoresis.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.
