needs.
Imager Description
The Criterion Stain Free Imager combines several key components into a
unique, powerful, and fully integrated image analysis system:
CCD Technology
The Criterion Stain Free Imager uses CCD technology for image capture and
improves image quality by reducing background noise, and enhancing the
signal-to-noise ratio.
Unique Transillumination Source
The Criterion Stain Free Imager system incorporates unique UV
transillumination, which serves the dual functions of developing the sample
and exciting the fluorescent protein product.
Removable Sample Tray
The Criterion Stain Free Imager has a fully removable sample tray that
incorporates a sample platen made of UV-B filter glass. Because it is
removable, you can take it to your lab bench to place the gel on the sample tray.
USB Interface
The Criterion Stain Free Imager connects with the PC computer using a USB
2.0 interface.
