Azure Biosystems chemiSOLO quantitative chemiluminescent imager

Click2Contact

The chemiSOLO from Azure Biosystems is a personal chemiluminescent imager that is designed to deliver high-quality, quantitative imaging suited to applications such as chemiluminescent western blotting, densitometry and visible gel imaging.

The chemiSOLO detects low-expressing proteins with femtogram sensitivity and captures marker images at the push of a button. The product’s wide dynamic range can be further enhanced by using Extended Dynamic Range (EDR) function. This feature allows for linear, quantitative data, while avoiding saturation.

A web browser interface allows the chemiSOLO to be controlled by phone, tablet or PC, without the need to install any additional software, and its compact design will fit neatly into any busy lab space. In addition to western blots, the device captures Coomassie-stained protein gels, silver-stained protein gels, colorimetric stained blots, densitometry and plant bioluminescence.

The imager measures 29.2 x 43.2 x 22.2 cm and weighs only 9 kg. It is equipped with a 6.29 MP, 16-bit, back-illuminated, Peltier-cooled CMOS camera; an Ethernet port for direct connection; two USB ports for internet connection or direct data transfer; embedded LEDs for capturing marker and colorimetric gel images; and an image stage with a field of view 10 x 15 cm.
