Gel Documentation System LBGD-A16

Designed Gel Documentation System LBGD-A16 captures, documents, and analyses DNA, RNA, and protein gels with precision. It allows researchers to image chemiluminescence signals, perform western blot analysis, and visualize SDS-PAGE gels with clarity. The system supports multi-colour fluorescence applications, making it ideal for CF488, CY2, and CY3 fluorophore detection. Its high-resolution cooled camera ensures low noise and excellent sensitivity. Integrated epi-light sources provide uniform illumination for fluorescence imaging. The multi-layer sample tray design enhances productivity by allowing multiple samples to be processed at once.

Labtron’s Gel Documentation System LBGD-A16 delivers high-resolution images with exceptional detail. The system has an optimized dynamic range that captures faint and bright signals simultaneously without saturation. Its three-stage cooling reduces thermal noise, ensuring clean data even in long exposures. The fast F0.95 lens improves light collection for better sensitivity. Integrated filter wheel and epi-lights allow precise detection of multiple fluorophores. Software-controlled zoom and autofocus ensure sharp and reproducible results every time. This combination guarantees superior imaging performance for research and publication-quality documentation.

The Gel Documentation System LBGD-A16 includes epi-white, epi-blue, and epi-green LEDs to cover multiple fluorescence applications. These light sources are software controlled, allowing easy switching between different modes. A UV transilluminator with a 302 nm wavelength is built-in for nucleic acid gel imaging. The system also includes a white light plate for protein gels, minimizing UV exposure damage. With even and uniform lighting, users achieve accurate quantification and reproducible results. The use of LEDs ensures long life and low maintenance. Researchers benefit from an efficient, ready-to-use setup without external attachments.

Our Gel Documentation System LBGD-A16 supports multiple filter positions to accommodate different fluorophores. A standard 590 nm filter is included for gel documentation applications using common dyes like ethidium bromide. Dedicated filters for CF488, CY2, and CY3 are also provided for precise fluorescence imaging. The filter wheel is easily expandable, offering up to eight positions for advanced users. Quick switching between filters saves time during multi-color experiments. Each filter is selected for high transmission and minimal bleed-through, ensuring accurate results. The system is ideal for labs working with multiplex detection workflows.

The Gel Documentation System LBGD-A16 allows easy image acquisition, exposure adjustment, and focusing. Users can control zoom, light source selection, and filter positioning directly through the interface. The automated functions help reduce operator error and increase reproducibility. The analysis software enables band quantification, molecular weight calculation, and comparative studies between samples. The light-tight darkroom eliminates external light interference, simplifying operation. Sample trays slide smoothly, making it easy to position gels for imaging. Overall, the system is designed to be accessible for both new users and experienced researchers.

Engineered Gel Documentation System LBGD-A16 accommodates up to four-layer chemiluminescence trays with a maximum imaging area of 18 × 16 cm. The UV transilluminator covers 21 × 26 cm, suitable for large agarose gels. The white light plate and fluorescence plate also provide generous imaging areas. This versatility makes the system ideal for high-throughput experiments. Multiple gels or blots can be imaged in a single session, saving time and increasing efficiency. The large imaging area combined with high resolution ensures every band and signal is captured accurately.
