Syngene and Synbiosis, well-established manufacturers of high quality automated image analysis solutions, are delighted to announce they will be showing a range of systems on Stand 134 at ARAB LAB 2015 on March 23rd-26th. The products on show will suit all budgets and are designed for easy gel and blot imaging or rapid counts and identification of microorganisms.

For molecular biologists looking for a multi-functional analyzer which will image all types of fluorescent gels, as well as chemiluminescent and fluorescent blots, Syngene experts will demonstrate the G:BOX Chemi XRQ image analysis system. This system comes complete with high resolution, cooled camera and innovative touch-screen GeneSys image capture software, guiding scientists effortlessly through to the best imaging conditions for generating high quality gel and blot images.

Also on stand is the U:Genius3 EZ, a complete gel doc system with motor driven lens, ideal for budget conscious researchers needing a quick method of producing accurate images of DNA or protein gels.

For microbiologists needing to increase productivity and have fully traceable GMP compliant results, Synbiosis technical staff will be showing the ProtoCOL 3. This system can automatically count and identify microorganisms on chromogenic plates, as well as measure inhibition zones, completing these tasks with greater accuracy and in a fraction of the time it would take to perform manually.

If affordable automated colony counting is a must, then Synbiosis’ aCOLyte 3 including its simple-to-use software is available on the stand for scientists to trial.

“We are excited to be showing a range of live systems developed using our in-house imaging expertise and manufactured in one of the UK’s most respected innovation hubs,” explains Martin Biggs, Syngene’s UK Sales Manager, “we look forward to meeting scientists on Stand 134 at ARAB LAB 2015 and to letting them see for themselves how our unrivalled technology could speed up their research.”

G:BOX Chemi XRQ

Syngene

G:BOX Chemi XRQ is a cost-efficient chemiluminescence imaging and gel documentation system. For a laboratory that needs hassle-free chemiluminescent detection, as well as routine gel documentation, using the G:BOX Chemi XRQ’s powerful GeneSys software to switch between applications is simplicity itself.

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.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. Find the best gel doc / image analysis products in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.MicrobiologyMicrobiology is the study of microorganisms including protists, prokaryotes, fungi, and, often, viruses. 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.

Other cell analysis equipment includes image cytometers, cell counters, fluorescence-activated cell sorters (FACS), magnetic-activated cell sorters (MACS), and a range of flow cytometry assay kits. Flow cytometers can reveal information on cell viability, cell proliferation, apoptosis and cell cycle progression, as well as identify cell populations and intracellular or cell-surface molecules. Additionally, some flow cytometers, known as FACS, have an additional sorting function after analysis. Cell counters and image cytometers count live and dead cell populations and can also conduct cell proliferation assays. Find the best flow cytometers, cell counters and cell sorters in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Molecular BiologyMolecular biology is the branch of biology that focuses on the molecular mechanisms that underlie cellular functions. It involves studying DNA, RNA, and proteins to understand gene expression, replication, and regulation. Molecular biology is fundamental to biotechnology, medicine, and genetic research.
