GelMax Imager for Precast and Mini Gel Imaging

UVP's GelMax™ Imager is designed for fast, easy imaging of precast and mini gels. The imager accommodates a wide range of precast and mini gels in sizes up to 11.5 x 16cm. Illuminate, capture and analyze gels with this easy to use system. The GelMax precast and mini gel imager allows researchers to quickly capture brilliant color, picture perfect and publication quality images in a compact, simple package. "The GelMax is the newest in a long line of gel/blot imaging innovations from UVP. We are pleased to supply an imager that offers a solution for searchers using precast gels in the lab." reports Alexander Waluszko, Vice President of Marketing and Sales.

Easily illuminate the gels with multiple transillumination light sources for maximizing fluorophore stain excitation. Midrange 302nm UV is conveniently built into the unit to view ethidium bromide and other stains. The modular design enables placement of interchangeable Samples Plates onto the UV. The Plates convert midrange UV to specific wavelengths. When not using the Plates, store them in the convenient plate holder (optional).

• The Visi-Blue™ Sample Plate converts the UV to 460-470nm blue light for viewing stains such as SYBR Green, SYBR Safe and GelGreen.
• When white light transillumination is required for viewing gels such as Coomassie Blue and Silver stain, the White Light Sample Plate can be used.
• Longwave 365nm UV Sample Plate (optional) reduces photonicking of gels.
• A Black Sample Plate allows for placement of samples not requiring transillumination.

The control panel enables easy selection of emission filters and lighting. The filter selector controls the five-position filter tray, which includes an ethidium bromide filter. Add additional filters (ordered separately) as required for viewing different types of stains. The filter tray is conveniently located on the side of the unit for easy access. The lighting selector controls choice of epi white light or transillumination lighting. A safety switch automatically shuts the transillumination lighting off after ten minutes or when the tray is opened.

The GelMax simplifies image capture with intuitive workflow-based software. Preview and capture images with a touch of the button. The intuitive software effortlessly controls the high resolution color camera which captures publication-quality images. Researchers can generate image enhancements such as annotations and lines. Easily generate extensive 1D lane and band analysis data using molecular weights, histograms, lane profile graphs and other tools. Users can then produce, print and export detailed and customizable analysis reports. Export data to Excel and other programs for documentation and publication. The software loads on the user's computer (Windows 7, XP or Vista). Ask about network versions of the software for multiple users.

With its compact footprint of 12x13 inches, the GelMax Imager reduces lab bench space requirements. The GelMax is a plug-and-play gel imager, requiring no user training. Its efficient design enables researchers to easily view gels using multiple light sources, quickly capture and save publication-quality images and analyze lanes and bands. It is the only gel imager researchers need for fluorescent, colorimetric and blue light imaging of precast and mini gels.
