Molecular imagers

Molecular imagers are benchtop detection systems that capture images of nucleic acids, proteins and labelled molecules separated on gels, blots or microplates. They read three kinds of signal: colorimetric stains under white or UV light, chemiluminescent output from enzyme-linked assays, and fluorescence from tagged probes. On Questpair the catalogue holds 204 molecular imager listings from 13 verified suppliers and distributors across 6 countries, offered new, used and refurbished. Among those listings, 100 percent are used. Prices run from EUR 86 to EUR 172.178, spanning simple UV transilluminators through to cooled-CCD chemiluminescence platforms. The term covers gel documentation systems, fluorescence imagers and dedicated molecular diagnostics instruments.
