Features

Super CCD chip affords up to 6.3 million pixels

By rotating pixels 45 degrees to form an interwoven layout, the Super CCD's pixel pitch in the horizontal and vertical directions is narrower than in the diagonal direction, achieving higher horizontal and vertical resolution.

Equipped with a newly designed large-aperture F0.85 lens

The analyzer incorporates a FUJINON, a strikingly bright lens with an F-number of 0.85. This lens has been especially designed to make full use of the advantages of Fujifilm's proprietary Super CCD chip, and is excellent for capturing images from distances as short as several tens of centimeters.
In its design, optical expertise developed through professional applications such as broadcasting TV cameras is fully exploited.

High-grade performance in a compact body

The same grade of camera and lens as in LAS-3000, the highest-grade model of the LAS series, are used. By limiting the applications to the specific areas of chemiluminescence and bioluminescence, a compact body is made possible while still retaining the high resolution and high performance of LAS-3000. Free from the necessity for dark rooms and chemicals, the analyzer can be placed on the top or side of an ordinary desk, and requires no special expertise for operation.

Image capture software (supplied standard); LAS-3000mini Image Reader

LAS-3000mini Image Reader running on a PC can be used to specify image capture parameters. You can specify image capture parameters, such as the exposure method, exposure time, sensitivity, resolution, etc., according to instructions given on the screen. You can specify the settings of the detection method and diaphragm in accordance with the recommendations on the screen of Method / Tray position. Manual setting is not needed for any of the image corrections required for quantitative analysis, which is carried out automatically.

Optional Products

LAS-3000mini UV-Bay set

Combination usage of a UV-Bay set and any additional UV transilluminator enables the LAS-3000mini to capture UV transilluminated images.

Includes;
  • Housing box
  • 605DF40 optical filter for EtBr detection
  • * Requires additional UV transilluminator.

Non-parallax (NP) tray

A non-parallax (NP) tray is used to eliminate the parallax effect when imaging chemiluminescence in the 96-well plate. Up to two plates can be placed.
