The Azure 300 chemiluminescent Western blot imaging system enables labs to replace transilluminators, gel imagers and darkrooms with one, high-performance, multi-functional instrument. Capable of UV, blue-light, white-light and chemiluminescent imaging, the Azure 300’s 9.1 MP camera is ideal for producing publication ready images of Western blots, DNA gels and protein gels. This instrument is upgradeable in situ to incorporate visible and NIR fluorescence detection.
Benefits of using the Azure 300
• Upgraded 9.1 MP camera for publication ready images
• Chemiluminescence, EPI-blue, EPI-white & dual band UV imaging
• Highly sensitive fixed motorised lens for no manual focussing or positioning
• High sensitivity with 4.8 OD dynamic range
• Orange tray for visible applications & black tray for blot applications
• Compatible with a wide range of dyes/stains
• Excise bands without leaving the imaging with override switch for UV interlock & roll-out tray
• Compact design
• Fully upgradable to add visible and/or NIR fluorescent imaging for when your research evolves
Azure 300 imaging options
Q-module upgrade
The Q-Module from Azure Biosystems is a visible light source upgrade (ex 524 nm / em 572 nm) that can be fitted to NIR or chemiluminescent Azure Biosystems imaging systems to enable illumination of the AzureRed total protein stain. Using this visible source to illuminate an appropriate total protein stain is preferable to using a NIR channel as it leaves the NIR channels free for multiplex or single target protein illumination. Upgrade must be added at the time of purchase. Find out more about the Q-module upgrade.
Chemiluminescent imaging using Q module & AzureRed for TPN.
AzureRed
AzureRed is a novel fluorescent protein stain from Azure Biosystems optimised for TPN and Western blot quantification. Excited optimally with a 520nm (Cy3) laser light source or also UV light, AzureRed leaves NIR channels available for targets of interest. AzureRed can also be used in conjunction with chemiluminescence substrates. AzureRed can be used on a range of imaging systems and is optimised for use with the Azure Q Module. Find out more about AzureRed.
