UVP Biospectrum Imaging System

Description

UVP Biospectrum Imaging System

The UVP BiospectrumAC imaging System is a low light and fluorescence imaging system with a light-tight construction that makes it ideal for chemiluminescent applications. This system comprises an easy-access darkroom with a slide-out UV transilluminator, overhead Epi light in white, UV, and blue, and interchangeable filters. Samples are set on a UV transilluminator for ultraviolet excitation and can be used with a chemi-tray to place chemiluminescent blots.

The Imaging System is a high-resolution chemiluminescent gel imager with built-in lighting and a light-tight darkroom. Above the darkroom is a CCD camera, controlled by the Visionworks software, which also controls other system elements, such as lighting settings, the emission filter wheel, and image capture. The first-light UV illuminator features a phosphor coating for exceptional uniformity and less than 5% coefficient of variance. The illuminator can switch between emitting a 365 or 480nm UV excitation across a high-density grid.

A UV-blocking window on the front of the system allows users to view gels without disturbing the environment. The emission filters are square and 50 mm, and the 5-position filter wheel is set in the camera’s well. This system comes with Ethidium Bromide Filter, SYBR GOLD Filter, and an SYBR GREEN filter.
