Visit UVP booth #1748 and Analytik Jena booth #1750 at the 2016 AACR in New Orleans, LA, to see a complete life science laboratory solution.

UVP is launching a new and updated line of gel, chemiluminescent and in vivo imaging systems, including the:

  • iBox® Explorer™ Imaging Microscope – In vivo imaging of fluorescent markers from whole animal to single cell
  • ChemiDoc-It®TS3 Imager – An upgradeable, stand-alone gel and chemiluminescent imager, providing high sensitivity images for quantitation of gels and Western blots. The system features a built-in touch screen for image acquisition and enhancement. ChemiDoc-ItTS3 is RGB and multiplex capable.
  • BioDoc-It®2 Imager - Compact system for basic gel documentation

For cancer research, the iBox Explorer Imaging Microscope provides in vivo imaging of fluorescence markers from whole animal to individual cells. The system features breakthrough advances with dual lighting and software-controlled objectives for imaging and high resolution capture of whole animals, tissue margins and individual cells. Magnifications levels range from 0.17X to 16.5X. The platform accommodates two mice. Excitation is from visible to NIR for applications including biodistribution monitoring, micro/macro metastases, hematogenous trafficking, tumor/host margins and interactions.

Through UVP, Analytik Jena offers numerous complementary products to create a complete life science laboratory solution. Designed and manufactured in Germany, Analytik Jena products are designed with ease of use, durability, and longevity in mind.

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.
