Recently upgraded with a new 24.1 megapixel digital CMOS camera to guarantee superb resolution, the microDOC is the researcher"s choice for a simple ultra-compact gel documentation system that meets constraints in both budget and space within the laboratory. A large 8" TFT screen enables images, including agarose and fluorescent gels, colorimetric gels, autoradiography film and blotting membrane, to be captured clearly and easily. The system is computer-free and supplied with an 8 GB storage card and 58 mm ethidium bromide filter as standard, while an optional SYBR filter is also available. Files are saved onto the storage card in RAW, TIFF-RGB and JPEG formats and may be transferred to computer for analysis with the highly recommended TotalLab™ 1D software.

microDOC BASIC: The microDOC BASIC is a simple low-cost system comprising a lift-off dark room hood and 24.1 megapixel digital camera, through which the gel is viewed directly.

All of these features maximise contrast and sensitivity, allowing even the faintest fluorescent gels to be viewed.

The ENDURO™ UV Transilluminators represent a great new imaging product true to ENDURO™ name. These UV transilluminators have been designed for rugged use and durability with exceptional performance. The use of UV Black Glass minimizes the striping effect seen on many UV transilluminators. This provides a more uniform background for gel imaging. Conventional UV shields leak some UV (~8%), but the Enduro UV transilluminators allow no leakage.

• Available in single or dual wavelength models
• Unique heavy duty hinge design can be held in place at any angle for gel cutting
• UV shield fully protects user from UV light
• Uniform UV Black Glass provides improved imaging contrast
