UVP, LLC Introduces the New BioSpectrum<sup>®</sup> 800 Imaging System With Nonlinear Dynamics’ SameSpots<sup>®</sup> Analysis Software for Accelerated 2D Gel Imaging and Analysis

1 Feb 2008

Product news

UVP, LLC is announcing the latest addition to its advanced BioSpectrum Imaging Systems line up: the BioSpectrum 800 Imaging System. This system is a fully motorized and automated light tight darkroom with high resolution 8.3 megapixel image capture capability. The fast capture time capability of the BioSpectrum 800, coupled with Nonlinear Dynamics SameSpots® Analysis Software ease of use, accelerates and simplifies the research lab workflow. The BioSpectrum 800 Imaging System accommodates a variety of gel sizes, making it an affordable alternative to the more expensive and slower 2D laser scanner systems on the market today.

“The release of the new BioSpectrum 800 Imaging System and the availability of the SameSpots® Analysis Software allows UVP to provide the same world class product, quality and service to the 2D electrophoresis market that we have provided the 1D electrophoresis market since 1988,” commented Alexander Waluszko, VP Sales/Marketing at UVP, LLC.

“SameSpots® technology, with the remarkable combination of extreme ease of use and statistical power, is the best 2D analysis software and is the ideal match for our new BioSpectrum 800 Imaging System,” according to Sean Gallagher, PhD, VP and CTO of UVP, LLC.

Will Dracup, CEO of Nonlinear Dynamics said, “By distributing the BioSpectrum 800 with SameSpots, UVP can now offer their customers the ultimate solution for proteomics research. Together, the BioSpectrum 800 and SameSpots solutions offer huge speed improvements, giving scientists the ability to analyse enough replicates for true statistical power in only a matter of hours. Running enough replicates is key to generating robust and reliable data from your proteomics research – so it is great to be making this more accessible than ever before.”

Leighton Smith, President and CEO of UVP, LLC states, “The strategic relationship with Nonlinear Dynamics further strengthens UVP’s commitment to offer life scientists the best imaging and analysis solutions available in the industry today. The combination of UVP’s BioSpectrum 800 Imaging System and SameSpots® Analysis Software provides our customers with a complete 2D imaging acquisition and analysis solution.”

ElectrophoresisElectrophoresis equipment is used to separate mixtures of protein, DNA or RNA, based on their electric charge, size and other physical characteristics, by passing them through a medium such as a polyacrylamide gel, an agarose gel or a capillary tube. Electrophoresis equipment includes horizontal and vertical gel electrophoresis chambers, isoelectric focusing systems, 2D electrophoresis and capillary electrophoresis instruments. Precast gels with a gradient can be used or gels can be hand cast. Samples are run alongside ladders or markers to identify the approximate size of a molecule. Separated proteins and nucleic acids in the gel can be stained or probed with fluorescent markers and then imaged and detected using gel documentation instruments, transilluminators, densitometers and scanners.

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.
