New Chemiluminescence Image Analyser Guarantees Results of Unrivalled Accuracy

February 28 2006 Cambridge, UK: Cambridge, UK: Syngene, a world-leading manufacturer of image analysis solutions, today introduced its new G:BOX Chemi XT16 automated chemiluminescence image analyser. This state-of-the-art system features an ultra cooled, high-resolution camera which can automatically separate close band and spot images to provide scientists with the most accurate results.

Inside its own light-tight darkroom, the G:BOX Chemi XT16 has the latest 16 bit camera. This fully integrated camera with its 4 mega pixel resolution in a 2048 x 2048 pixel format is ultra cooled, ensuring the G:BOX Chemi XT16 provides the best resolving capacity and lowest background noise of any system in its class.

The G:BOX Chemi XT16 also comes complete with overhead white lighting, a 20cm x 20cm UV transilluminator and GeneTools, Syngene’s premier image analysis software. This software saves hours of tedious manual analysis by automating tasks including MW calculations, band or spot matching and multi-layer gel analysis.

For additional imaging applications the G:BOX Chemi XT16 can easily be fitted with a blue light converter, dual UV Epi or blue Epi lighting, to make it suitable for generating images of a wider range of fluorescence samples.

Laura Sullivan, Syngene’s Divisional Manager explained: “With a high-resolution camera of 4 mega pixels, the G:BOX Chemi XT16 is the most sensitive system currently available. Additionally, because the camera is ultra cooled you can expose blots for as long as you like and still obtain perfect chemiluminescent results with hardly any background every time. For scientists looking at unrivalled performance with their chemiluminescent imaging, then the G:BOX Chemi XT16 is the best choice.”
