title: Fluorescent imaging and analysis with Typhoon 8600.
abstract: Current technologies in laser-based imaging systems for life science applications offer highly sensitive and quantitative detection of multiple labels. Typhoon 8600 variable mode imager is capable of fluorescence, storage phosphor, and chemiluminescence detection of gels and blots. The system delivers sensitive fluorescent detection of nucleic acids and proteins in both agarose and polyacrylamide gel formats. Detection and discrimination of multicolor fluorescent signals in fragment analysis, electromobility shift assays, Western blotting and other applications enhance the speed and accuracy of analysis.
