myECL Imager One-touch image capture As-is, CLEARANCE!

One-touch image capture and analysis for protein and nucleic acid gels and blots.

The Thermo Scientific myECL Imager is a stylish, powerful and easy-to-use blot and gel documentation instrument for sensitive, multimode image capture and analysis via an intuitive touchscreen interface and advanced integrated software.              The myECL Imager revolutionizes image acquisition of protein and nucleic acid blots and gels detected via chemiluminescent, colorimetric or UV light-activated fluorescent substrates or stains. The compact benchtop instrument uses UV and visible light transillumination, specialized filters and advanced CCD camera technology to capture images with high sensitivity and dynamic range. The large, 10.4-inch touchscreen and on-board computer provide an elegant user-interface to program acquisition settings and manage (store and share) image files. Also included with the instrument is a five-computer license for the Thermo Scientific myImageAnalysis™ Software, a complete and powerful analysis tool.

FEATURES

• One-touch image acquisition – press any one of several optimized presets in each mode and the imager does all the rest; no focusing or camera settings need to be adjusted              

• Multi-exposure feature – automatically capture a series of images using up to five different preset or user-defined exposure times              

• Automatic visible image capture – system automatically takes a corresponding visible image with every chemiluminescent image exposure; allows overlay alignment with prestained MW markers              

• Remote Tech Support access – share your myECL Imager screen in a live session with Technical Support to receive immediate help while using the instrument              

• Live camera setting – in any mode see a live view of the illuminated platform on the display screen while the door is open so you can place and center the sample              

• Shoot-and-review convenience – imager keeps the last five captured images immediately available in on-screen tabs so you can quickly review, compare, choose and make adjustments to results              

• Interactive Chemi – automatically calculates the exposure time of a Western blot with maximum dynamic range and minimal pixel saturation from a short, 15-second exposure image              

• File manager – easily copies, deletes, exports and edits image information of one or more image files in multiple gallery folders              

• Create dark and bias images – creates new dark and bias master files to compensate for noise coming from the CCD camera during image acquisition         

• Adjust image – adjust the black, white and gamma levels of acquired images to increase sample visibility              

• Intensity display – select a point of interest on the acquired image to view the pixel intensity and pixel coordinates of the corresponding region                                                       

Recommended for: Chemiluminescent Western blots (ECL substrates); Stained protein gels (coomassie, silver, UV light-excited fluorescent stains); Chemiluminescent nucleic acid blots (e.g., EMSA and Southern blotting using biotin probes, streptavidin-HRP and ECL substrates); Stained nucleic acid gels (ethidium bromide and other UV light-excited fluorescent stains)
