MultiDoc-It Imaging System 2
Introduction
The MultiDoc-It Imaging System is a high resolution imager capable of capturing and documenting
fluorescent gel images. The system combines:
1. MultiDoc-It Darkroom
2. DigiCam digital color camera
3. Ethidium Bromide (EtBr) Filter
4. Doc-It
® LS Acquisition Software
5. UV transilluminator (transilluminator instructions are provided in a separate manual)
NOTE:
MultiDoc-It TLC Systems (for Thin Layer Chromatography) do not include a transilluminator.
Darkroom
The MultiDoc-It darkroom provides a dark environment for gel UV illumination and protects the DigiCam
camera. Some MultiDoc-It models include side access doors for moving or cutting gels without
opening the front door.
UV Filter
The included emission filter, an orange-colored UV blocking bandpass filter, is used to absorb UV and
IR radiation from the transilluminator and to enhance the orange/pink bands generated by Ethidium
Bromide stained gels. The filter can be removed when imaging non-fluorescent media (protein gels,
colony plates, etc.) in order to produce brighter images.
Camera and Diopter
The DigiCam digital color camera includes a built-in optical zoom lens. A close-up diopter is connected
to the lens at the UVP factory.
