Options to Meet Your Gel Documentation Needs
The E-Gel® Imager is the perfect system for documenting agarose and polyacrylamide nucleic acid gels such as E-Gel® agarose gel. Each E-Gel® Imager includes a camera hood and your choice of an interchangeable base. The three base options are:
- Blue-light transilluminator—ideal for innovative DNA stains such as SYBR® Safe stains, SYBR® Green stains, and those found in E-Gel® EX gels
- UV transilluminator—best for traditional ethidium bromide–stained gels
- E-Gel® adapter base—a one-of-a-kind, real-time gel documentation base that’s compatible with the E-Gel® Go!™ System or E-Gel® iBase™/E-Gel® Safe Imager System
Flexibility to Accommodate Various Stains
There are also three interchangeable filters that provide even greater flexibility to capture images of various stains, including the orange “universal” filter; a green filter optimal for SYBR® Green and SYBR® Safe stains and those found in E-Gel® EX gels; and a red filter for use with Molecular Probes® Qdot® 625 products.
 | E-Gel® Imager Filters. Every E-Gel® Imager Camera Hood comes with a pre-installed universal filter. Alternative filters can be easily utilized by simply removing the universal filter tray and sliding in the filter tray of your choosing into the camera hood. |
