Three-channel Visible Fluorescence Detection

The Azure 400 offers 3 channel fluorescent detection for Westerns, chemiluminescent detection with the speed and sensitivity of film, and imaging for standard EtBr and protein gels. In addition to multiplex Westerns, the Azure 400 is a high performance chemiluminescent imager and gel documentation workstation. This fluorescent imager provides accurate and fast chemiluminescent detection, as well as the sensitivity, dynamic range, and linearity needed for quantitative blot analysis.

Get the best picture every time, and stop wasting money on film! UV, color imaging, blue-excited DNA dyes, Coomassie gel imaging, and more. The Azure 400 is a multichannel, multimodal imager with visible fluorescence, visible light, and UV excitation channels.

The Azure 400 is capable of three-channel visible fluorescence detection, which enables sensitive multiplex detection of Western blots, fluorescent biomolecules and Cy2/Cy3/Cy5 or similar fluorochromes. This fluorescent imager allows users to simultaneously image and quantify up to three different targets.

Sensitivity Signal Surpasses Film

Chemiluminescence detection that surpasses X-ray film detection in sensitivity and dynamic range

Quantitative chemiluminescent imaging

Outperforms film performance while generates a quantitative, wide dynamic range image. Indicates eventual signal saturation for accurate quantitation.

The imaging chamber replaces the darkroom and film developers to generate a digital image including true color molecular weight marker. Obtain your images immediately and be ready to quantify bands in the analysis software.

Figure 1. Saturation detection prevents errors in quantitation. The same Western Blot was imaged on both x-ray film and the Azure Imaging System. The Azure system detects when CCD saturation occurs and calculates an auto-exposure time to avoid saturated bands.
Intuitive capture software controlled by a wide touchscreen

The Azure 400 is a fluorescent imager that provides high-resolution imaging is ideal for publication purposes, as well as higher pixel well cap for higher dynamic range.

Use the preset protocols of the comprehensive list of typical detections, or generate your own custom protocols combining any excitation source, emission filter, image overlay, lens aperture, exposure time, focus, distance to the camera, and resolution.

Compact Design

At 42 x 56 x 33 cm, the small size translates into more room on your bench

Wide Dynamic Range

Capture images of visible fluorescence Western blot in multiplex, ECL Western blot, biomolecules tagged with fluorescent labels in gels, fluorescent and colorimetric stains in gels, Petri dishes, TLC, etc. True Color Imaging of translucent and opaque samples.
