Bio-Rad ChemiDoc Touch Benchtop Gel and Blot Imaging System with Cooled CCD Camera
Product Description
The Bio-Rad ChemiDoc Touch Imaging System is a benchtop gel and blot documentation instrument optimized for molecular biology workflows, including DNA, RNA, and protein analysis. Featuring a cooled 6-megapixel CCD camera operating at -25°C and advanced optics, it delivers high-resolution, high-sensitivity images essential for quantitative molecular diagnostics and bioprocessing applications.
Key technical features include:
- Smart Tray Technology for automatic identification of application-specific trays and self-adjustment of imaging parameters.
- Auto-exposure and autofocus with user-defined modes to optimize image capture across chemiluminescent, stain-free, and colorimetric samples.
- A linear dynamic range exceeding 4 orders of magnitude, enabling reliable quantification of low-abundance biomolecules and fine differentiation between sample intensities, critical in gene editing and synthetic biology research.
- Multiple illumination sources including Trans-UV (302 nm), Epi-white, Trans-white, and Trans-blue (450–490 nm), supporting a broad spectrum of fluorescence and colorimetric applications.
- Compatibility with standard chemiluminescence filters and emission filters (590/110 nm) suitable for protein and nucleic acid gel/blot imaging.
- A multitouch 12.1” touchscreen interface integrated with Image Lab software allowing intuitive parameter control, pinch-to-zoom image review, and side-by-side comparison of up to four exposures.
- Compact dimensions (19" x 24" x 22") and moderate weight (65 lbs) making it suitable for individual labs or core facilities with limited benchtop space.
- Supports data output in 16-bit or 8-bit SCN, TIFF, and JPEG formats facilitating downstream image analysis and recordkeeping in biomedical engineering and molecular cloning workflows.
- Operational within environmental ranges of 10–28°C and 10–85% non-condensing humidity to maintain consistent performance in research environments.
- Power requirements: 100–240V, 50/60Hz, 120W.
This imaging system is widely adopted in molecular biology and biotechnology fields for its versatility and robustness in fluorescence analysis, live-cell imaging support, and molecular diagnostics workflows. The ChemiDoc Touch is critical for biopharmaceutical production pipelines requiring precise gel and blot documentation, enabling rapid and reproducible results crucial to synthetic biology and gene editing research.
Additional trays and accessories are available from Bio-Rad to customize the system for specific workflows. The system is factory-inspected and backed by standard warranty support, ensuring reliable operation for demanding laboratory applications.
