MORE Flexibility With Phosphor Imaging
Step away from the limitations of film-based autoradiography and get the wide dynamic range and high sensitivity of phosphor imaging-based detection.
MORE Quantitative Fluorescence Imaging
Improve your quantitation with the ability to reliably measure multiple proteins in a single blot, from very weak to very strong bands.
MORE Sensitivity With Chemiluminescence Imaging
Experience the speed and sensitivity of traditional film with 4-fold greater sensitivity and detection down to femtogram amounts of protein.
