 The ChemiDoc MP imaging system offers exceptional application flexibility, high performance, and ease of use. The imager contrains a charge-coupled device (CCD) camera to capture images in real time and enable you to accurately position your sample and generate optimized image data. 

Bring a new level of capability and efficiency to your experiments with an imaging system designed for multitasking. The ChemiDoc MP Imager is a unique imaging system that enables stain-free operation and lets you visualize proteins at every stage of your blotting experiment. Its flexibility and sensitivity are complemented bty simple, intuitive operation that integrates seamlessly into your workflow.

The ChemiDoc imager uses a new generation light tight enclosure (the Universal Hood III), which contains built-in UV and white light illumination as well as available red, green, and blue epi LED light sources. The imager features dynamic flat fielding technology for superior image uniformity and accurate quantification. Image Lab software controls image capture and optimization for your selected applications, analyzes results, and produces reports based on your specified output, all in a single workflow. 

The Universal Hood III is designed to capture fluorescent and chemiluminescent images without using a photographic darkroom. The enclosure has buil-in white light epi-illumination and UV transillumination. For easy sample loading, the UV transilluminator is located in the drawer of the Universal Hood and can be accessed from the front of the enclosure. When not imaging, the lights in the darkroom enclosure turn off automatically. 

The Universal Hood III has touchpad buttons to perform various functions; however, Image Lab software controls all of these functions remotely, removing any requirement for manual control of the lens and lights. Running a protocol overrides touchpad input. The Universal Hood III can hold up to six different emission filters for fluorescent applications. No filter is required to image chemiluminescent samples. A standard filter is used for colorimetric (white light) applications.

Features:

• Smart, application-based protocol, setup using Image Lab software, which assists by presenting appropriate filter and illumination sources for imaging applications that require excellent sensitivity.
• Exceptional sensitivity and a dynamic range greater than four orders of magnitude
• Flexibility to image chemiluminescent, fluorescent, and colorimetric samples with dynamic flat fielding specific to each application

Unmatched Application Versatility:

The ChemiDoc MP Imager is the only system you need when your experiments include a variety of sample types or require different detection methods. It is the perfect imager to accompany your protein and DNA electrophoresis runs as well as your western blotting experiments and it delivers quantitative, reproducible results every time.
