New 2-D Gel Scanner
Guarantees Unbeatable Spot Detection
|
11.03.05 Cambridge,
UK: Syngene, a world-leading manufacturer of image analysis solutions, is
delighted to introduce its new ProteomeScan high-resolution image scanner. This
user-friendly system, which can generate high-quality 2-D gel images in seconds,
is ideal for scientists looking for unrivalled accuracy in their proteomics
research.
The ProteomeScan is controlled by icon driven software and allows users to
dictate the kind of image they would like by selecting scanning resolution,
compression and scan speed. The system can generate images of up to 12,800 x
12,800-dpi max output resolution, ensuring that even the smallest protein spots
are detected.
For scientists wanting to save time with their 2-D gel analysis, the
ProteomeScan has been designed to transfer images directly into DYMENSION,
Syngene’s revolutionary new 2-D image analysis software. DYMENSION can analyse a
typical 2-D gel image in seconds rather than the normal minutes or hours other
available software takes to perform this task, making it a perfect partner for
ProteomeScan.
The flexible ProteomeScan can also switch between transmittance and reflectance
modes and has variable colour scanning, which means it is easy to scan a variety
of different gel stains such as silver, Coomassie blue and Sypro Ruby. Safety
is a priority and the system is fully sealed to protect against leaks of liquid
from wet gels.
There are two versions of ProteomeScan available. The ProteomeScan A4 Pro can
image gels up to 21 cm x 29 cm, whereas a ProteomeScan A3 Pro is an alternative
for users needing to scan larger gels, as it can image an area of 31 cm x 43 cm.
Laura Sullivan, Syngene’s Divisional Manager stated: “We are excited by the
excellent performance of our new ProteomeScan. It perfectly complements our
exceptional DYMENSION 2-D analysis software, to provide an unbeatable package
for generating rapid, yet accurate results in proteomics research.”
