Web Information
The Bio-Rad ChemiDoc MP Imaging System is a high-sensitivity, all-in-one instrument for imaging and analyzing protein/nucleic acid gels and western blots. It specializes in multiplex fluorescent western blotting (RGB), chemiluminescence, and stain-free technology, allowing for,publication-quality imaging without film.
Key Features and BenefitsMultiplex Fluorescence: Three LED modules (red, green, blue) allow for detection of all common fluorescent dyes (Alexa Fluor, Cy, DyLight), enabling detection of multiple proteins on a single membrane.Chemiluminescence Optimization: Designed to match or exceed the sensitivity of X-ray film, without the environmental waste.Stain-Free Technology: Enables rapid, total protein normalization without the need for stripping/reprobing or using housekeeping proteins.Automated Performance: The system is precalibrated for automatic focus at any zoom or sample height, ensuring consistent, high-throughput imaging, often requiring little to no training.Versatile Imaging Modes: Includes UV, white light, and chemiluminescence, covering applications like ethidium bromide, Coomassie, and silver stains.Image Lab Software: Included software provides easy, automatic image processing and analysis, along with a 12-inch touch-screen display for user-friendly operation.
