ChemiDoc XRS+ Applications
The ChemiDoc XRS+ system is capable of running protocols to image all of the
nucleic acid gels, protein gels, and blots listed in Gel Doc XR+ Applications on
page 22 plus the others added to this list. Those listed are examples of the
detection reagents that can be used to image your samples and is not considered a
complete list. Contact Bio-Rad technical support to determine whether your
application can be imaged on this instrument.
See Chapter 6, Acquiring Images, for information about designing protocols.
