1 Introduction
Gel Doc™ XR+ and ChemiDoc™ XRS+ gel documentation systems offer high
performance and ease of use. They both contain a charge coupled device (CCD)
camera to capture images in real time and allow you to accurately position your
sample and generate optimized image data.
The Gel Doc XR+ and ChemiDoc XRS+ systems use the same lighttight enclosure
(the universal hood), which contains built-in UV and white light illumination, but
different CCD cameras. Both systems feature dynamic flat fielding technology for
superior image uniformity and accurate quantitation.

Image Lab™ software controls image capture and optimization for your
selected applications, analyzes results, and produces reports based on your
specified output, all in a single workflow.
Gel Doc XR+ Imaging System
Gel Doc XR+ imaging system is a high-resolution gel documentation system that
allows fast, easy quantitation of gels and blots. Position your sample inside the
imager and follow the onscreen steps to run a protocol with only one click. You can
customize your applications within an existing protocol or create a new protocol
using many options presented by the Image Lab software.
Features include:
 Detection of dynamic ranges that cover >3 orders of magnitude
 Dynamic flat fielding specific to fluorescent and colorimetric applications
