ATTO Gel Documentation System

The Gel Documentation System category features precision imaging platforms designed to support molecular biology, genomics, and proteomics research. These systems enable the high-resolution visualization, documentation, and quantitative analysis of nucleic acids and proteins separated by gel electrophoresis.

Key Technical Features

• High-Resolution Imaging
  Integrated with sensitive cooled CCD or CMOS cameras, these systems deliver sharp, publication-quality images of DNA/RNA and protein gels.
• Versatile Illumination Options
  Supports multiple excitation sources including UV, white light, and LED modules. Compatible with a range of stains such as:
  • Ethidium Bromide
  • SYBR Green
  • Coomassie Blue
  • Silver stains
• Smart Software Integration
  Touchscreen operation and intelligent analysis software enable real-time capture, enhancement, and densitometric evaluation of bands.
• Built-in Safety Mechanisms
  UV-blocking shields and optional UV-free LED excitation reduce user exposure to harmful radiation.

Applications

• DNA & RNA Visualization
  Ideal for documenting agarose gel electrophoresis results and estimating fragment sizes.
• Protein Analysis
  Compatible with SDS-PAGE and native gels for evaluating expression levels, purity, and molecular weight.
• Blotting Techniques
  Supports imaging of Western, Southern, and Northern blots on various membranes for downstream interpretation.
• Quantitative Gel Analysis
  Includes densitometry tools for band intensity measurement and lane profiling, crucial for reproducibility and scientific accuracy.
