1 Introduction
The ChemiDoc™ MP imaging system offers exceptional application flexibility, high
performance, and ease of use. The imager contains a charge-coupled device (CCD)
camera to capture images in real time and enable you to accurately position your
sample and generate optimized image data.
The ChemiDoc MP imager uses a new generation lighttight enclosure (the universal
hood III), which contains built-in UV and white light illumination as well as available
r
ed, green, and blue epi LED light sources. The imager features dynamic flat fielding
technology for superior image uniformity and accurate quantification.
Image Lab™ software controls image capture and optimization for your selected
applications, analyzes r
esults, and produces reports based on your specified
output, all in a single workflow.
ChemiDoc MP Imager
The ChemiDoc MP imager is a high-resolution gel documentation system that
allows fast, easy quantification of gels and blots. Position your sample inside the
imager and follow the onscreen steps to run a protocol with only one click. You can
customize your applications within an existing protocol or create a new protocol
using the many options presented in Image Lab software.
The ChemiDoc MP imager also offers sensitive chemiluminescent detection. The
system includes a supersensitive 16-bit CCD camera that is deeply cooled for
faint-sample detection and for accurate quantification of image data.
