Large scanning size (up to 40 x 46cm) with selectable scanning area is especially suitable for large size 2D protein electrophoresis gel analysis. Available imaging plates (IPs) include: 1 x (3543 MS IP), 2 x (2340, 2325 MS IP) and 2 x (2040, 2025 MS, SR, ND, TR IP).
Scanning pixel sizes are user-selectable at 10, 25, 50, 100 or 200-micron pixels depending on specific application requirements.
FLA-5100 can be installed with up to 4 lasers.Multiple lasers add imaging applications. The FLA-5100 includes three standard lasers: SHG blue laser (473nm), SHG green laser (532nm) and LD red laser (635nm). Another LD laser for far-red (670nm) may be added internally as an option. A port is available for an additional laser instead of the fourth internal laser to be connected externally in the future.
The versatility of multi-format detection allows many sampling opportunities with a single sampling tool. Radioisotope by IP method: IP-S (standard mode for RI detection) generates logarithmic converted values in PSL units. IP-V (variable mode) can change the high voltage of the photomultiplier tube (PMT), which enables X-ray diffraction study, non- destructive testing and other IP detection studies. Fluorescence by laser scanning and PMT: Image reader software controls repetitive scanning of the sample by different laser and emission filters. When added with the second channel PMT, a laser and dual emission filter mode can be enabled. Chemiluminescence by direct detection: Chemiluminescence can be detected. Digitizing Function by Epi-illumination with fluorescent screen: Applicable for transparent gels with sliver stain, CBB stain, NBT stain and others.
Modular optional components provide future upgrades to meet individual application needs. |
