Biorad ChemiDoc MP Touch Imaging System
The Biorad ChemiDoc MP Touch Imaging System is an advanced, versatile instrument designed for imaging and analysis of gels and blots. It supports a wide range of applications including multiplex fluorescent western blotting, chemiluminescence detection, and general gel documentation. This system stands out for its capability to handle fluorescence, chemiluminescence, and colorimetric gel and blot detection, analysis, and documentation in a single platform. It is particularly adept at using a broad spectrum of fluorescent reporters including RGB, far red, and near infrared, alongside Bio-Rad's StarBright Fluorophores. Key features include ease of use with automatic light source selection, autofocus, auto exposure, and image preview functions, coupled with a comprehensive on-screen help guide. The system's stain-free technology allows for the normalization of bands to total protein, thus eliminating the need for housekeeping proteins. It also enables rapid assessment of electrophoresis and blot transfer quality before processing.
The ChemiDoc MP Touch boasts a 12.1-inch multitouch screen with a resolution of 1024x768 pixels, an onboard computer system with 4 GB RAM and 120 GB disk space, and multiple USB ports. Its imaging capabilities are enhanced by a deeply cooled CCD detector with a 6MP resolution and a dynamic range of over 4.0 orders of magnitude. The system can accommodate a maximum sample thickness of 5 mm and an image area of 16.8 x 21 cm. It includes a versatile filter wheel with various emission filters catering to a wide range of fluorophores and stains. Data can be conveniently stored and shared via USB or network connection, and images can be exported in various formats including SCN, TIFF, and JPEG. The ChemiDoc MP Touch’s design integrates workflow automation, autofocus, precalibrated focus, and image flat fielding to deliver high-performance imaging with precision and ease, making it an ideal choice for a variety of laboratory applications.
