Features

THE STARION IS A NEXTGENERATION,MULTI-PURPOSE IMAGE SCANNER.

All in one system

Radioisotopic, Fluorescent, Chemiluminescent and Digitized images can be captured in High Resolution using the minimum 10µm pixel size. The maximum scanning area of 40 x 46cm, and easy filter exchange, support a wide range of reagents and applications.
The system supports USB2.0 and the all-in-one set up saves space in your laboratory.

Laser upgradeable

The system supports 473nm, 532nm, 635nm, 685nm and 785nm lasers and is flexible enough to allow you to install four different lasers at once. The improved 473nm Blue laser diode light source enables you to capture vivid images of Cy™2-labeled gels and blots.
Additionally, the new 685nm and 785nm lasers afford all the advantages of near-infrared imaging. Fujifilm’s STARION supports a wide array of optional accessories to meet your application needs.

Advanced imaging

The STARION is a high quality image scanner supporting a wide variety of applications from traditional radioisotopic imaging using imaging plates to highly sensitive fluorescent applications like 2D gel analysis. The system supports multispectral fluorescent applications such as Western blotting with Qdot® or Alexa Fluor® dyes, delivering all the expected benefits of imaging in the near-IR. Additionally, the system allows for parallel detection using two excitation wavelengths simplifying the workflow for multispectral applications.
