UVP ChemiDoc-It Chemiluminescence Imaging System with Height-Adjustable Platform and CCD Camera

The UVP ChemiDoc-It Imaging System is a specialized chemiluminescence imaging platform designed for precise documentation of Western blots, membranes, gels, plates, and colony counts, widely used in molecular diagnostics, biotechnology, and biomedical research. It integrates a light-tight darkroom cabinet and a non-reflective imaging stage optimizing low-light capture essential for reliable chemiluminescent signal quantification.

Key technical features include:

• Height-adjustable imaging platform accommodating sample sizes up to 21 × 26 cm (≈8.3 × 10.2 in), enabling reproducible framing and focus essential for consistent experimental results in protein analysis and blots.
• High-sensitivity Sentech monochrome digital CCD camera (1/3″ sensor, 640 × 480 pixel resolution) optimized to detect faint chemiluminescent signals, critical in bioprocessing workflows and gene editing validation assays.
• An overhead epi white LED illumination provides rapid visible reference images without sample disturbance, facilitating efficient transitions between sample setup and capture in fluorescence analysis and live-cell imaging workflows.
• Operates reliably within 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F) to ensure consistent image quality in standard laboratory environments.
• Compact dimensions (14 × 13 × 19 inches) and lightweight design (30 lbs) allow versatile benchtop installation in molecular biology and synthetic biology laboratories.

The imaging system is bundled with VisionWorks software on a Windows 10 laptop to automate exposure control and image acquisition, enhancing reproducibility across runs without manual tuning—a vital feature for clinical diagnostics and biomanufacturing research. The sealed cabinet minimizes background noise, supporting sensitive detection needed in molecular cloning and fluorescence-based assays.

Essential in biotechnology research, the UVP ChemiDoc-It system supports critical biopharmaceutical production pipelines by providing a controlled environment for precise chemiluminescent imaging, widely adopted in protein expression analysis and molecular biology protocols. The unit ships fully inspected with a user manual, communication cables, white epi lights, and a 30-day warranty, ensuring immediate installation readiness.

This system is optimal for research professionals requiring consistent, reproducible chemiluminescence documentation for applications such as western blot quantification, enzyme immunoassays, and colony counting in synthetic biology and cell imaging studies.
