Azure Biosystems
Your Western Blot method shouldn’t be limited by your Western blot imager! With the Azure 600, it’s not.

Western Blot Imager with Multiplex Capabilities, and the Best Option for Quantitation
The Azure 600 is the only system that offers two channel, laser-based IR and chemiluminescent detection, with the speed and sensitivity of film, with the ability to image visible fluorescent dyes, standard EtBr and protein gels, and infrared laser excitation for quantitative Western blot imaging in the NIR. This catchall Western blot imager improves your data quality imaging with infrared dyes and offers signal stability. Low background fluorescence imaging with NIR dyes allows you to study multiple proteins in a blot, even if those proteins overlap in molecular weight.
The Azure 600 offers laser technology with two IR detection channels enabling you to image more than one protein in an assay. It provides accurate and fast chemiluminescent detection, as well as the sensitivity, dynamic range, and linearity needed for quantitative blot analysis.
Our lab purchased Azure 600 to replace an old gel doc imager. Protein bands look sharp and the resolution is high. I also love the multiple image capturing can be repeated for multiple times with different duration. Besides, protein ladder (marker) can also be captured and this enables the comparison of protein bands with the protein ladder on the same blot. It is an ideal equipment for protein and molecular biology works.
The Azure 600 provides high-resolution imaging that 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.
The Azure 600 comes standard with a 9.1MP camera that provides high-resolution imaging perfect for publications. Change the sample to optics distance using adjustable height shelf for enhanced detection. Zoom into the area of interest with ROI imaging to reduce background.
Revolutionize Your Chemiluminescent Workflows by Leaving the Darkroom
Get the best picture every time, and stop wasting money on film. Use Cy®5/Cy®3/Cy®2 Dyes, Blue-Excited DNA Dyes, and more. As the total solution for Western blot imaging and gel documentation, the Azure 600 is a multichannel, multimodal imager, with IR, visible light, and UV excitation channels. Finally, an imager that allows you to detect Cy dyes, Alexa® dyes, Safe dyes, and more!
The software notifies you when bands are saturated and are not suitable for quantitation.
The Azure 600 provides high-resolution imaging that is ideal for publication purposes, as well as higher pixel well cap for higher dynamic range.
You can overlay a color marker with the chemiluminescent signal for ease of documentation and molecular size determination.
