Syngene Gel Doc & 成像平台

Syngene offers a comprehensive range of gel documentation and chemiluminescent Western blot imaging systems designed to replace traditional X-ray film with superior digital imaging technology. Each system features high quantum efficiency (QE) cooled CCD cameras, providing exceptional sensitivity for chemiluminescence detection with dynamic ranges exceeding film by more than double.

The GeneGnome XRQ is a dedicated chemiluminescence imaging system optimized for Western blot applications. With its short camera-to-sample distance technology and NEXGEN High QE CCD camera, it delivers exceptional signal-to-noise performance with virtually undetectable background noise. The system's fixed F/0.95 lens and one-click automated imaging make it perfect for laboratories focusing exclusively on chemiluminescence with a compact footprint.

The G:Box mini XRQ represents the mid-range compact solution, combining chemiluminescence and fluorescence capabilities in a space-saving design. Featuring a high-resolution cooled CCD camera and an 18×14 cm viewing area, it supports multiplex fluorescence Western blotting, stain-free imaging, and gel documentation. The intuitive GeneSys software streamlines workflows with multiple chemi modes and automated protocols.

For laboratories requiring versatile gel documentation alongside chemiluminescence detection, the G:Box chemi XRQ provides a standard darkroom with 4-megapixel resolution. The cooled camera ensures low signal-to-noise ratio with perfect backgrounds, while HI-LED lighting options spanning blue, green, red, and infrared wavelengths enable faster exposure times and publication-quality images across DNA gels, protein gels, and chemiluminescent blots.

The G:Box mini 6/9 series offers advanced compact imaging with a choice of 6 or 9-megapixel cooled cameras. This multi-application powerhouse combines a unique motor-driven stage with chemiluminescence, stain-free, RGB, and IR excitation options, making it ideal for Alexa Fluor and IR dye applications in space-constrained laboratories.

At the flagship level, the G:Box chemi XX6/XX9 delivers the ultimate multi-application imaging platform. Available with 6 or 9-megapixel cameras featuring quantum efficiency greater than 73% at 425 nm, these systems offer unparalleled versatility. The motor-driven F/0.95 or F/0.8 lens with autofocus, seven-position filter wheel, and comprehensive lighting options including HI-LED RGB and IR, white light, UV, blue, and edge lighting enable applications from routine chemiluminescence to advanced 2D gel imaging and multiplex in-gel fluorescence DIGE.

All Syngene systems are controlled by GeneSys application-driven image capture software, featuring an extensive database of dyes and imaging protocols. Users simply specify gel type, and GeneSys automatically selects optimal lighting and filters. Every system includes unlimited copies of GeneTools analysis software with free lifetime upgrades, supporting molecular weight determination, colony counting, spot blot analysis, and band matching. The software enables quantification of up to five different fluorescent proteins simultaneously and generates high-quality reports exportable to Word and Excel formats.

The revolutionary GeneSys software eliminates guesswork by automatically calculating exposure times and selecting appropriate imaging conditions regardless of chemiluminescence reagent manufacturer. Whether using ECL, SuperSignal West Dura, or other chemiluminescent substrates, the systems deliver consistently excellent results. Extended exposure times of many hours are possible, always producing clean, crisp images with minimal background noise.

Syngene systems support stain-free imaging technology, enabling rapid visualization of protein gels without traditional staining steps. This capability, available on G:Box mini XRQ, G:Box chemi XRQ, G:Box mini 6/9, and G:Box chemi XX6/XX9 models, allows for quick verification of transfer efficiency and more accurate protein quantification as internal loading controls.

For regulatory compliance, higher-end models meet 21 CFR Part 11 and GLP requirements, with IQ/OQ/PQ documentation available upon request. The systems come with three-year warranties and biannual free software updates, ensuring long-term reliability and access to the latest imaging capabilities.

Technical specifications vary by model but consistently deliver superior performance. The cooled Peltier cameras operate at 16-bit resolution with 65,535 gray scales, ensuring precise quantification. Viewing areas range from 11×8 cm on the compact GeneGnome XRQ to large format on extended darkroom G:Box chemi XX6/XX9 systems. Motor-driven lenses and filter wheels on advanced models provide fully automated setup, while HI-LED lighting modules offer high-intensity illumination across the full spectrum for faster workflows.

The modular design of G:Box systems allows for future expansion, with lighting upgradeable to include additional LED modules for red, green, blue, and near-IR imaging capabilities. Extended darkroom configurations with motor-driven stages accommodate large gels and blots, utilizing zoom features with autofocus to capture maximum image resolution.

Syngene's commitment to user-friendly design is evident throughout the product line. From the simple slide-out drawer of the GeneGnome XRQ to the sophisticated autofocus systems of the XX6/XX9 series, every aspect prioritizes ease of use without compromising performance. The systems integrate seamlessly with laboratory workflows, requiring minimal bench space while delivering professional results that meet publication standards.
