Access to More Applications with One Imager

The new Azure Sapphire FL gives you access to multiple applications

Azure Biosystems Sapphire Applications Booklet

Whatever type of imaging your lab does—whether it’s the ubiquitous Western blot, Southern blots of 2D DNA gels, visualizing gross morphology of tissues or small model animals, or something more unique—the new Sapphire FL Biomolecular Imager will deliver outstanding, quantitative detection with NIR and RGB fluorescence, chemiluminescence, and phosphor imaging.

Experience the flexibility and performance for yourself

exceptional dynamic range and image quality

Exceptional visible fluorescent and near infra-red scanning

The compact Sapphire Biomolecular Imager incorporates visible fluorescent and NIR scanning along with true chemiluminescent and white light imaging. It’s a true making it a true lab workhorse.

As scientists, we like to pride ourselves on objectively evaluating data before coming to any conclusions, and staying open to new ideas if they are better supported by new information. Purchasing a new piece of lab equipment should be no different, especially when it comes to instruments that we entrust to make measurements and record data for our critical studies.

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.

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.

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.

Flexibility with uncompromising performance

The next generation of laser scanning systems, the Sapphire FL delivers unmatched flexibility and performance for today’s demanding labs.

With more imaging modalities than any other instrument currently on the market, the Sapphire’s four solid state lasers and patent-pending three-detector system enables an incredibly wide range of applications. And the intuitive, easy-to-use software ensures a smooth acquisition and analysis experience for all users.

  • Improved multiplex fluorescent detection (near IR and visible)
  • Option to add chemiluminescent imaging, surpassing film
  • Unlimited laser and filter wavelength combinations
  • Higher sensitivity for lower limits of detection (femtograms)
  • Broad linear dynamic range for accurate quantitation
  • Ease-of-use with intuitive control software
  • 5 Micron resolution
