Higher sensitivity for lower limits of detection, including down to femtograms of the protein of interest
If you’re on the hunt for a new Western blot imager and are thinking about an Invitrogen™ iBright™ system from Thermo Fisher Scientific, think again. At a similar price point, Azure Imagers are just as easy to use but you’ll get more sensitive detection, a wider dynamic range, and a more uniform field-of-view. And with fewer moving parts than iBright systems, Azure Imagers are easier to maintain.
In other words, if you care about generating reliable and reproducible (not to mention quantitative) gel and blot images, an Azure Imager is the obvious choice.
One way the design of Azure Imagers delivers better performance than iBright imagers is through our unique direct-mirror-free detection. This direct light capture design is optimal for imaging chemiluminescence and fluorescent low light samples and consistently generates sharp, clear images.
In contrast, the iBright sensor is placed much farther away from the sample, reducing sensitivity. The system’s design has a camera at the back of the imaging system, meaning samples are imaged through a mirror that sits above the samples. The iBright system also does not directly detect light from the sample. Instead the light is reflected onto the sensor using a mirror, which further reduces sensitivity.
The use of laser light sources for NIR illumination in Azure Imaging Systems further increases sensitivity. because lasers deliver an inherently narrower excitation band than LEDs—lasers emit a coherent, collimated beam of light—they avoid the overlap in excitation and emission signals that can occur with LED light sources. This results in ultra-low background signal, enabling faster, more sensitive NIR fluorescence detection.
The lasers inside of Azure Imagers do not need excitation filters, because lasers are monochromatic light sources that do not need correction. NIR lasers used keep signal high and background low. The robust excitation energy delivered by lasers maximizes emission strength for optimal detection sensitivity.
It should be no surprise that instrument design can greatly impact instrument performance. At Azure Biosystems, we focus on using technological innovation to deliver instruments that really impact a scientist’s work, from design choices that simplify workflows and improve performance without significantly impacting price.

“We’ve been very pleased with the Azure 600 Gel Imaging System. The quality and limit of detection for both the chemiluminescence and near-IR images is outstanding. Image acquisition is straightforward and user-friendly. The after-sales support is top notch – as there have been additional software upgrades and peripheral devices that were rolled-out post purchase. We’ve been happy with the new features. Our main contact at Azure (Vic Gagne) has been amazing. What sets this system apart from some of the bigger vendors is the ease-of-use and the personalized customer support. If your lab or core facility is looking for an imaging system, I highly recommend the Azure 600 Gel Imaging System.”
