Key Features

Chemi Made Convenient

chemiSOLO detects low-expressing proteins with femtogram sensitivity and captures marker images at the push of a button.

Designed to provide sensitive detection of chemiluminescent signals via a 6 MP, back-illuminated, Peltier-cooled CMOS camera.

Able to overlay visible images of multicolor protein markers with chemiluminescent images of blots to facilitate gel annotation and band identification.

Azure chemiOLO EDR capabillity
Using the extended dynamic range (EDR) function, chemiSOLO takes images with >16-bit depth, allowing for a wider linear dynamic range without saturation for a wider range of quantitation.

Quantitative Image Acquisition

Captures images at a higher bit depth, while avoiding pixel saturation and maximizing the linear dynamic range.

chemiSOLO’s wide dynamic range can be further enhanced by using EDR, the Extended Dynamic Range function. The EDR feature allows for linear, quantitative data.

Flexible Imaging

In addition to Western blots, chemiSOLO beautifully captures clear pictures of colorimetric blots and visible-stained protein gels, like Coomassie blue or silver stain.

The chemiSOLO is a compact chemiluminescent imager used for quantitative chemiluminescent Western blot imaging and visible protein gel imaging. It is designed to detect chemiluminescent signals with high sensitivity while also capturing visible images of protein gels and colorimetric blots.

chemiSOLO is designed as a compact, personal chemiluminescent imager that is smaller than a microwave and has a footprint that fits on the bench. It replaces darkrooms and bulky imagers while still providing sensitive Western blot imaging and quantitative data acquisition.

chemiSOLO rapidly images chemiluminescent Western blots with femtogram sensitivity. It uses a 6 MPx back-illuminated CMOS camera to provide sensitive detection of chemiluminescent signals.

Yes, chemiSOLO uses web-based, license-free capture software that can be controlled from a phone, tablet, Mac, or PC. No downloads are required, and users can connect through the instrument’s Wi-Fi signal using a suitable device.

chemiSOLO is best suited for chemiluminescent Western blotting, densitometry, and visible gel imaging. In addition to Western blots, it can capture clear images of colorimetric blots and visible-stained protein gels, including Coomassie blue and silver stain.
