Features of Typhoon™ FLA 9500
Versatility: imaging of multifluorescent-,chemifluorescent-, radioisotope-labeled, and colorimetric samples
High resolution and quantitation: a pixel resolution of up to 10 Μm and a linear signal response over five orders of magnitude provides precise quantitation in gels, blots, tissue sections, and arrays
High sample throughput: scanning area of 40 × 46 cm enables simultaneous imaging of up to 20 gels or blots, measuring 10 × 8 cm in size. This facilitates comparisons among blots, and reduces workload and waiting time
Flexibility: optimized performance for new applications by adapting the system with stages, detectors, filters, and lasers
2-D DIGE imaging: simultaneously image two 2-D DIGE gels for differential expression studies
Visible and infrared fluorescence imaging: optional near infrared excitation for imaging IRDye™ and other infrared dyes
