Product news

Syngene is a world leader in gel documentation and image analysis systems for DNA and protein gels; chemiluminescence and fluorescence systems for Western blots and probes; proteomics hardware and software for 2D gel electrophoresis.

Syngene is delighted to exhibit on Stand 243 at Arab Lab, G:BOX EF, (Extended Fluorescence) its innovative image analysis system that can be custom built to suit users’ fluorescence applications. This novel innovation allows scientists to choose virtually all their image analyser’s components, making it simple to have a system which is perfect for their applications and budget. For scientists looking for a budget imaging system that combines affordability with accuracy, Syngene is also exhibiting U:GENIUS, its new gel documentation system with digital camera and touch screen, enabling scientists to print gel images or save them to a memory stick via a USB port. Other entry level systems on show will be the InGenius and DigiGenius systems.

Also on the stand will be the ProtoCOL-SR colony counter and zone sizing system, equipped with a colour digital camera and unique top and base LED illumination. Designed to count colonies and accurately measure zone sizes on a wide variety of sample types. The pre-installed ProtoCOL software automatically detect colonies or zones and records reliable and consistent results in a fraction of the time it would take to do manually.

The aCOLyte colony counter will also be on show. This innovative automated colony counter is ideal for budget conscious microbiology laboratories. Developed as a quick, accurate alternative to manual counting, the system provides full colour image display and storage, as well as instant reporting of results.

Fluorescence SpectroscopyFluorometers and spectrofluorometers (also called fluorescence spectrometers) are used to measure the intensity and wavelength of fluorescent light emitted from a sample after excitation by illumination. Spectrofluorometers utilize monochromators to select the desired wavelengths, whereas filter fluorometers employ a set of filters. Spectrofluorometers for measuring steady-state fluorescence and lifetime fluorescence (or time-resolved fluorescence) are available, as well as fluorescence microscopes and microplate readers.

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.

Accurately control your culture environment with bioreactors or culture incubators, bind your cells to a surface or together with an extracellular matrix. Distinguish cell types with differential media or proliferate cells with certain characteristics using selective media. Enrich your media with supplements such as growth factors, sera and vitamins.

Data software can be used for math and stats, technical graphing and image analysis. In addition, software is available for specific data analysis of electrophoresis, densitometry, ELISA and DNA sequencing.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.

Consequently, the importance of high-quality DNA/RNA extraction and purification equipment cannot be underestimated. Many purification kits are available and are typically optimized for nucleic acid type and source, including plasmid DNA, genomic DNA, mRNA, RNA and viral nucleic acid purification kits. Automated extraction and purification of nucleic acids can be implemented with magnetic bead separator instruments or high-throughput purification workstations.
