GE Cytiva Amersham Typhoon IP Phosphor Imaging FLA Scanner with Image Eraser

The GE Cytiva Amersham Typhoon IP Phosphor Imaging FLA Scanner is a high-performance phosphor imaging scanner designed for advanced life science research including molecular biology, proteomics, and biotechnology applications. Engineered for precise quantification and imaging of biomolecules such as DNA, RNA, and phosphorylated proteins, this system utilizes a 635 nm excitation laser (84 mW) and a bi-alkali photomultiplier tube (PMT) for sensitive detection of fluorescence and phosphor signals.

Key technical specifications include:

• Imaging mode: Phosphor Imaging with laser excitation at 635 nm
• Resolution: Pixel sizes selectable at 10, 25, 50, 100, or 200 µm enabling high-definition scans tailored to sample requirements
• Dynamic range: Over 5 orders of magnitude for quantitative measurements of weak to strong signals
• Scan area: Maximum scanned image size of 35 x 43 cm, accommodating various gel, blot, or microarray formats
• Erasing capability: Integrated FLA image eraser with phosphor screen erasing in approximately 15 minutes and adjustable timer from 15 to 60 minutes
• Filters and optics: Internal 390BP filter optimized for phosphor imaging applications, ensuring signal specificity and clarity

The system includes accessories such as the exposure cassette, IP/phosphor stage, and comes bundled with a dedicated computer running AT control software for user-friendly operation and efficient data analysis. This scanner is widely adopted in biotechnology workflows including molecular cloning, gene expression analysis, and drug discovery pipelines. Its ability to provide multiplex fluorescence detection makes it suitable for cutting-edge synthetic biology and molecular diagnostics research.

Its robust design offers reliable performance for live-cell imaging studies, protein phosphorylation analysis, DNA/RNA gel imaging, and western blot quantification. The scanner supports high-throughput scanning demands and is essential for laboratories conducting comprehensive biomolecular quantification and imaging, particularly in clinical diagnostics and biomedical engineering domains.

Additional features:

• Fully tested with verified power, software communication, door sensor, and eraser functionality
• Compatible with common consumables such as Amersham ECL Plex Cy3/Cy5 antibodies, blotting membranes, and papers
• Warranty and after-sales technical support included
• Supported by remote installation, training, and technical consultation options

This instrument is well-suited for bioprocessing environments requiring accurate phosphor imaging and fluorescence detection, providing a versatile solution for quantitative and qualitative biomolecular research.
