Gel Documentation System LBGD-A12

Labtron’s Gel Documentation System LBGD-A12 is designed for capturing high-quality images of DNA, RNA, and protein gels. It allows researchers to visualize faint bands and low-concentration samples with clarity. This system also supports blot membrane imaging, making it versatile for molecular biology studies. Equipped with a cooling CCD camera, it ensures accurate detection of signals with reduced background noise. It is commonly applied in laboratories working with agarose gels, SDS-PAGE, and western blotting. Users benefit from its precision in both qualitative and quantitative gel analysis. Overall, it is an essential tool for reliable documentation in life science research.

Our Gel Documentation System LBGD-A12 delivers sensitive and noise-free imaging. The camera provides a resolution of 6 megapixels, ensuring detailed and sharp images of gels and membranes. Cooling technology reduces dark current to less than 0.0005 e-/pixel/sec, improving accuracy for low-light samples. It also achieves up to 65,536 grey levels, providing high contrast for precise detection of faint and strong bands alike. This level of image clarity is valuable for applications such as DNA profiling and protein quantification. Advanced lens features with software-controlled zoom and focus allow greater flexibility. These specifications make it highly effective for detailed molecular analysis.

The Gel Documentation System LBGD-A12 includes a UV protection shield and safe drawer design. This prevents direct UV exposure while handling gels, reducing the risk of harmful effects to the user. The system’s enclosed darkroom ensures no external light leakage, protecting both samples and operators. It incorporates UV transilluminators with proper shielding to make gel recycling safe and simple. Users can confidently perform imaging tasks without worrying about UV-related hazards. With multiple safety features, it is suitable for teaching as well as professional laboratories. This makes it both practical and secure for everyday gel documentation use.

Our Gel Documentation System LBGD-A12 includes epi-white LEDs and a UV transilluminator. The UV transilluminator operates at 302 nm with an imaging area of 21 × 26 cm, ideal for agarose gels. A white light plate of 19 × 26 cm is included for protein gels and other visible applications. The combination of light sources provides flexibility across different sample types and research needs. Researchers can switch between UV and white light depending on the gel type being analyzed. This adaptability makes it a reliable solution for a wide range of molecular biology experiments. Proper illumination ensures that gels and blots are consistently captured with precision.

The Gel Documentation System LBGD-A12 combines high-resolution optics with advanced cooling technology. Its fast aperture lens collects more light, enhancing sensitivity for weak signals. Software-controlled zoom and focus features further refine imaging across various gel sizes. The CCD sensor’s high quantum efficiency, above 78%, ensures efficient light capture. Cooling to -60°C below ambient minimizes noise and stabilizes image quality during long exposures. These features ensure that faint DNA or protein bands are captured without distortion. As a result, researchers can rely on its accuracy for both qualitative and quantitative analysis.
