The innovatively designed compact PXi, with its high resolution 6.3 million pixel camera and large fixed aperture lens can quickly image even the faintest bands. It is easy to fit a range of lighting including IR lighting and filter options inside the PXi system and by using Syngene’s intuitive GeneSys imaging software, the PXi can be rapidly set up to automatically select the best conditions. Scientists can generate perfect images of chemiluminescent blots, as well as 1-D gels (up to 10cm x 12cm) stained with any fluorescence and IR commercial dyes time after time, with just one-click.
GeneTools, Syngene’s accurate image analysis software, which comes with the PXi saves valuable time by automatically producing results in seconds, including; 1-D lane analysis, molecular weight and quantity calculations.
Laura Sullivan, Syngene’s Divisional Manager stated: “Syngene is well known for its imaging innovation and using the technology from our popular G:BOX, we have really pulled out all the stops by developing a unique high performance imaging system. The system is so compact, yet produces exceptional images of every type of chemi blot, as well as fluorescent blots and gels.”
