1 Introduction
The ChemiDoc™ MP imaging system offers exceptional application flexibility, high
performance, and ease of use. The imager contains a charge-coupled device (CCD)
camera to capture images in real time and enable you to accurately position your
sample and generate optimized image data.
The ChemiDoc MP imager uses a new generation lighttight enclosure (the universal
hood III), which contains built-in UV and white light illumination as well as available
red, green, and blue epi LED light sources. The imager features dynamic flat fielding
technology for superior image uniformity and accurate quantification.
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.
ChemiDoc MP Imager
The ChemiDoc MP imager is a high-resolution gel documentation system that
allows fast, easy quantification 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 the many options presented in Image Lab software.
The ChemiDoc MP imager also offers sensitive chemiluminescent detection. The
system includes a supersensitive 16-bit CCD camera that is deeply cooled for
faint-sample detection and for accurate quantification of image data.
