UVIsave Gel Documentation Systems

The UVIsave is a simple portable system for printing an image or saving it as a TIFF computer file. It is an ideal budget system where speed is important and computer archiving is desirable. Works with any UV or white light transilluminator.

Simply place camera hood over gel, optimise image whilst viewing it on the built-in 4 inch LCD screen, freeze image, then print to video printer or save on floppy disk.

With UVIsave, you can adjust zoom, aperture, focus and integration time and see the effects of the adjustments before image capture. This reduces the cost of obtaining a satisfactory ‘hard copy’ image considerably. Also, since you can see an instant preview of any image adjustments, the entire process takes only seconds.

UVIsave includes a disk-drive unit, which allows the captured image to be saved in a TIFF format, opening up a wide range of modification, printing and analysis options. A PC software package is supplied for this purpose.

Please note a UV transilluminator is not included in the UVI save system but can be purchased as an accessory.

UVIdoc Gel Documentation Systems

UVIdoc and UVIdocLCD are low cost documentation systems characterized by a combination of simplicity and versatility. They operate as stand-alone systems for producing high quality thermal prints of gel images. However, the built-in disk drive unit also allows image capture direct to floppy disk (as TIFF files). These can be loaded into the UVIdoc software provided to enable image manipulation, annotation and simple analysis.

Saturation monitoring of the live image ensures that fully quantifiable images may be captured first time. The system can therefore be used on a variety of levels, from simple hard copy generation, to more sophisticated image acquisition for analysis.

A unique feature for the UVIdoc is the addition of a network card into the darkroom cabinet. This will enable the users to install UVIdoc onto their local network for fast and easy access to images already stored on the UVIdoc. Random access memory will allow 30 images to be stored for transfer.

 

UVIdoc and UVIdocLCD are very similar systems with one main difference. The UVIdocLCD has a built-in 4 inch LCD screen which replaces the CCTV monitor supplied with UVIdoc. All other features and functions are the same for both systems. UVIdoc is also available with a larger DST15 darkroom and STS35M (20x35cm) transilluminator allowing imaging of larger format gels.

UVIdoc is so simple to operate, there is no learning curve involved and high quality images can be acquired in seconds. This, combined with safety features, makes either UVIdoc ideal for environments with a high number of regular or casual users. The user interface includes a wipe-clean six-button key-pad conveniently positioned at eye level. A safety-interlocking darkroom door protects the user from harmful UV output. The safety, speed and robustness of UVIdoc have even made it an essential tool in many teaching laboratories, the ultimate multi-user environment!

UVIpro Gel Documentation System

The UVIpro range is a series of highly sophisticated gel documentation systems for top quality image capture and analysis. Encompassing a comprehensive range of options from the basic and inexpensive UVIpro Bronze to the state of the art UVIpro Platinum, all UVIpro’s are operated from a PC with dedicated software and allow very precise optimisation of the image prior to printing or analysis.

The basic UVIpro design includes a CCD camera (with PCI acquisition card or firewire connection), darkroom cabinet, UV transilluminator, zoom lens, uv/ir filter, thermal video printer and acquisition/basic analysis software package. With choices of camera, darkroom cabinet, zoom lens, filter and UV transilluminator, UVIpro offers the broadest possible range of specifications and price.

 

 

 

 

The UVIpro range includes systems for almost any fluorescence imaging application and budget. Comprising a number of interchangeable modules, there are many choices of UVIpro, from basic, inexpensive models up to the most advanced and sophisticated systems available. For simplicity, the UVIpro range is divided into four main models, Platinum, Gold, Silver and Bronze.

The top of the range UVIpro Platinum incorporates the very best available options throughout. The DBT2000 is the most advanced, efficient and versatile darkroom cabinet available, while the superb quality 14-bit, ultra-high resolution camera is the best available for gel documentation. The motorised zoom lens is easily controlled from the user-friendly software screen and the standard filter offers the highest signal to background ratio available for ethidium bromide detection. These features combine to make UVIpro Platinum the most advanced and sophisticated gel documentation system available

As with the stand-alone UVIdoc system, UVIpro has all the benefits of speed and simplicity. With minimal learning curve and intuitive, icon-driven software, a high quality print out or TIFF file archive can be produced in seconds. UVIpro may be easily used at a number of levels, ranging from simple push button operation to highly precise image optimisation. The live image is viewed on the computer screen and optimised via precise and user-friendly slider bar controls.
