New generation fluorescence imaging system

The GENi2 gel documentation system is one of the new generation systems from Syngene. This is a compact, fully self contained model which has an enclosed camera, motor driven lens, motor driven filter wheel and is controlled by the integral processor with all functions accessed via a touch screen monitor.

The darkroom houses a UV transilluminator and a white light drop down table. Applications range from fluorescent gels, protein gel imaging and visible light applications such as spot and dot blot imaging.

Control of all functions (image capture and image manipulation) is via the large touch screen. Image rotation further extends the features of this compact system.

Images can be saved to memory stick or via a network connection.

The system comes complete with GeneTools analysis software.

Why buy this product

Complete system
The GENi2 is a complete system for gel imaging. It has an integral processor so no external computer is required. The camera, lens, filters and lighting are all controlled directly from the touch screen. The overall package has a very small footprint and therefore takes up minimal laboratory bench space.
Suitable for fluorescence and white light application
The GENi2 has a slide in/out UV transilluminator for fluorescence work. A drop down white light table can be used for all white light applications and can be used in conjunction with convertor for other lighting requirements The GENi2 is therefore a very versatile system.
Large touch screen
The system has a large colour touch screen to access all functions. The easy to use intuitive controls provide full control of the system and need minimal training.

Accessories

Blue light converter screen

When used in conjunction with the UV transilluminator the light is converted from UV to blue light (450nm +/- 50nm). This screen can therefore be used for dyes such as SYBR Green, SYBR Gold, GFP and many more. In fact anything that needs a general blue light excitation. The screen is simply placed on top of the surface of the UV transilluminator ready for immediate use.

Please refer to the Syngene database for a more comprehensive list of dyes which can be used with this screen.

Filters

The filter wheel takes the 58mm range of filters.

Please refer to the Syngene database for a more comprehensive list of dyes which can be used with each filter.

Printer

We recommend a thermal A6 printer such as Sony or Mitsubishi. These USB printers will ‘plug and play’ with the GENi processor and require minimal setup. They will print hard copies of images in under 5 seconds on long life glossy thermal paper to give photographic quality images.
