Principle

The ChemiDoc MP Imaging System is a full-feature instrument for imaging and analyzing gels and western blots. It is designed to perform multiplex fluorescent western blotting, chemiluminescence detection, and general gel documentation applications. The 16-bit CCD camera is ready for use in minutes, the advanced Peltier cooling and binning significantly reduce noise levels, increasing both the sensitivity and linearity of the system. The white epi-light source (470-635 nm) is for documentation of colorimetric markers and stains, such as coomassie blue and silver stain. The white light mode can be combined with the chemiluminescent mode to generate an overlay image between a colored marker and a chemiluminescent sample.
