Fire-Reader gel documentation systems

The Fire-Reader is a 1.4 megapixels gel documentation system ideal for documentation, publication and quantification. The very high resolution provides more quantification data as the image contains more details. The Fire-Reader has 16-bit performance (65,536 grey levels) as compared with 12-bit competitor systems. The dynamic range (4.8 OD) describes the ratio between the maximum and minimum measurable light intensities. Light measurements are translated into digital values with precision measured by the bit depth. The Fire-Reader extended dynamic range provides for more quantification data.

 

Features:

 

  • Massive 16-bit performance (65,536 grey levels) – 1.4 Megapixels
  • 6 wavelength illumination options. Biofluorescence and multiplexing ready. Multi-position filter slide. Custom filters available
  • Patent pending UVI-PURE technology available for the imaging of dyes such as SYBR Green and Sypro Ruby achieving enhanced image quality and 25% better signal in comparison with standard systems
  • Extreme sensitivity for the faintest fluorescence sample

  • Software: Fire-Reader 1D software ‘one touch’ fully automated image acquisition programme for image enhancement, annotation and illustration with 3 analysis modules: 1D Molecular Weight (MW, volume, intensity,…..); Colony counting; Distance calculation (RF, IEF,……).

 

Your gel on live! The live preview mode ensures quick and easy sample positioning and fine focus. Auto-focus, auto-exposure and video mode included!
Getting the word out: Highlight important features with text and symbols. The software helps you to annotate and illustrate your image
Create vibrant images: Enhance your image with the extensive and readily available set of tools such as multiple colour channels, cropping and image additions

Need to quantify or measure? Just add a calibration marker for reference or measure the volumes to determine the quantity with the simple 1-2-3 approach

 

  • Applications: 1D nucleic acid; 1D protein gel; Microtitration plate or array; Multiplexing samples; Plant and bioluminescent samples; Petri dish imaging; Flash imaging
  • Options: Transilluminator UV surface 26 x 21 or 20 x 20 cm.; UV-PURE transilluminator or standard transilluminator; single or dual wavelength available; manual or motorised zoom lens; UV to white light or UV to blue conversion screen; advanced UVI-Band or UVI-BandMap software enable the user to convert images into useful, publishable data easily. In designing UVIband packages, a realistic, professional approach has been taken and only those features included which are of genuine benefit to the user.

 

As a result, all UVIband packages are:
Powerful:UVIband analysis packages include many special features such as two alternative methods for correction of local and global gel distortions e.g. a ‘smile’ or ‘frown’ across the gel.
Reliable: Fully automatic background subtraction for band quantification provides consistency and reliability
User friendly: Every aspect of UVIband is designed with ease of use in mind. This includes the very first step of searching for an image to analyse which is facilitated by the ability to choose the file from a gallery of ‘thumbnail’ images

Flexible: Attractive as it may sound, so-called ‘One Step’ analysis places excessive reliance on automation, resulting , in the best case, in inaccurate data, and in the worst, in totally irrevevant data from your image!
