Imager
The Criterion Stain Free
™ Imager is a quantitative imaging system for
capturing high resolution digital images of Bio-Rad Criterion Stain Free
™ gels.
Using low noise CCD technology, exceptionally uniform UV-B excitation, and
a highly efficient optical design, the Criterion Stain Free Imager offers
researchers the sensitivity, uniformity, flexibility, and dynamic range required
for the analysis of electrophoretically separated proteins.
With unique Criterion Stain Free Gels, samples are activated and imaged
using automated protocols, increasing laboratory throughput, decreasing
workflow time, and eliminating generation of hazardous waste solutions.
Flexibility and Ease of Use
The Criterion Stain Free
™ System has a very flexible design. The Criterion
Stain Free Imager offers one-button gel activation using a default protocol that
a user can run right after installation.
The Image Lab
™ software allows substantial flexibility in the presentation of
captured images, and provides many data analysis tools. These include
automated lane and band finding, molecular weight determination, and
relative quantity analysis.
To get started, simply connect the instrument to a PC computer where the
software has been installed, open the Image Lab software, load the sample,
and press the green Run button on the front of the imager to run the default
protocol.
