Product Introduction

The HD-NC500Z Gel Imaging and Analysis System (UV) is suitable for the acquisition and analysis of images of DNA/RNA electrophoresis gels, protein electrophoresis gels and dot blots. It uses a high-resolution camera matched with a high-sensitivity lens to guarantee high-quality imaging results. Two configurations are available: UV imaging with a high-efficiency and stable ballast, with rectifier efficiency η > 80%, extending lamp life and reaching an average of up to 40,000 power-on/off cycles.

Application Range

Nucleic acid detection: DNA/RNA detection labeled with various fluorescent dyes such as Ethidium bromide, SYBR Gold, SYBR Green, GelSafe, GelRed, GelGreen, SYBR Safe, GelStar, Fluorescein, Texas Red, Oligreen and Picogreen.
Protein detection: Coomassie Brilliant Blue gels, silver-stained gels, and gels/membranes/chips labeled with dyes such as Coomassie Blue, Copper stain, Zinc stain, Flamingo, Oriole, Silver stain, Coomassie Fluor Orange, SYPRO Ruby and Krypton.
Other applications: Petri dish colony counting, microplates, dot blots and protein chips.

Product Features

High-resolution camera and high-sensitivity original imported lens guarantee high-quality imaging results.
Large observation field with a dedicated gel-cutting protective cover for more comfortable and safer operation.
Intelligent operating software allows zoom, focus, light source switching and shooting to be fully controlled from the computer, ensuring diversified functions while keeping the interface concise and intuitive.

Intelligent Software

Image capture: light source / lens / camera control, automatic / manual exposure, automatic / manual focus, image capture and image management.
Hidden function settings: part of the functions can be freely chosen to be displayed or hidden to keep the software interface concise.
Image processing: adjust brightness, contrast, Gamma, image rotation, image inversion, image cropping, image scaling, image staining and image merging.
Analysis functions: automatic / manual lane identification and band identification; manual addition and deletion of lanes and bands; user-defined molecular weight standards for molecular weight and concentration calculation.
Printing and grid lines: the operating software includes a direct printing window; grid-line function allows easy comparison with the Marker.
Save path: default image save path can be set so that no manual saving is required; a custom save path can be set before shooting.
Other analysis functions: colony and dot-blot / clone counting.
Data export: results can be exported to Excel.
Service: the software is installed, upgraded and trained on site free of charge for life, and on-site maintenance is provided according to customer needs.
