Gel analysis
called DigiGenius, for scientists that need a quick and simple
method of capturing and analysing gel images.
Syngene has introduced a new low-cost gel documentation system, called DigiGenius, for scientists that need a quick and simple method of capturing and analysing gel images.
The product consists of a compact hood with an attached, manually controlled, 5 million pixel digital camera and LCD viewer. The camera records gel images which can be instantly seen on the viewer screen. The images can be sent directly from the camera to a Canon Direct Printer that is bundled with the DigiGenius. Alternatively, the images can be transferred to a USB-equipped PC or Mac by cable.
DigiGenius is also inline with Syngene's Good Laboratory Practice-compliant GeneTools software for gel image analysis. This benefits scientists by saving valuable time with routine applications such as 1-D lane analysis, Rf/Molecular weight calculations, band matching and colony counting, according to the UK-based company.
Syngene said that the product provides savings on buying Polaroid films and offers the added advantage of improving the accuracy of recording and analysing gel images.
