Features

Multipurpose Imaging System suitable for RI, Fluorescent and digitized Imaging with High Resolutions

Radioisotope

A Radioisotope-labeled sample image can be acquired with high throughput and high sensitivity using Fujifilm' s unique proprietary technology: Integrated Imaging Plate (IP) technology and high-speed detection technology (Light Collecting Guide).

The system ensures radioisotopic imaging with high sensitivity, which comes from Fujifilm's unique and reliable technologies. The IP consists of a radiosensitive layer of photostimulable phosphor crystals on a polyester support. The IP accumulates irradiated radiation energies on exposure for further scanning excitation process. The innovative and ergonomic design provides a broad range of advantages.

Fluorescence

A maximum of four lasers are optionally available for use with the following:
LD473nm, SHG532nm, LD635nm, LD650nm and LD670nm.
This enables the system to be upgraded to cover a broader range of fluorescent dyes including near-IR. LD650nm laser is already installed in the scanner.

  • Easy-to-access four filters (filters of Y520, O580, R670, R710, and a filter for IP) for upgrading flexibility.
  • Four optical filters are changeable by users, allows users to select appropriate fluorescent dyes for specific applications.

Digitizing

Able to take digitized images of Silver-stained gel or CBB-stained gel. (Gel Documentation)

Detection of modified bases in RNAs by primer extension method
Primer extension analysis of E. coli 23S rRNA which was treated with or without CMC(N-cyclohexyl-N ' -β-(4-methylmorpholinium)ethycarbodiimide p-tosylate) to detect pseudouridine (Ψ) (left panel). As a control (right panel), the same analysis was performed against E. coli strain in which rluD (RNA-pseudouridylase) was depleted. m3Ψ stands for 3-methyl pseudouridine.
