LaVision Biotec BioAnalyzer Gel

BioAnalyzer Gel – Proteomic Imaging System for Unstained and Stained Gels

Imaging without staining
 
The BioAnalyzer Gel offers new perspectives in Gel Electrophoresis, as no dyes are required to make the protein spots visible. The BioAnalyzer Gel utilizes native fluorescence of amino acids (tryptophane, tyrosine…) to visualize the proteins within the gel.

The outstanding advantage is of course time and cost reduction. Neither lengthy diffusion based staining processes nor covalent modifications are necessary. In addition the native fluorescence is highly quantitative. After imaging the gel can be directly processed by subsequent methods. Because of unstained proteins no purifying process is required.

Features / Specifications Reads unstained as well as stained protein gels Multi-Color Detection, UV and 3 visible excitation wavelengths Sensitivity: unstained gels better than 1ng/band, stained gels better than 0.1ng/band (e.g. 2.5fmol Sypro Ruby stained) Signal Resolution 16bit Dimensions 40x77x73cm Gel Dimensions up to 30x30cm High resolution and fast data acquisition <15 min reading time for maximum area @ 50 µm resolution Simple exchange of filters allows flexible adaptation to new dyes Prepared for spot picking Brochure Press Note Poster
