FAS-DIGI PRO, FOTODOCUMENTADOR DE GELES

FastGene FAS-Digi PRO. Gel documentation system with innovative Blue/Green LED technology

The Revolution for Nucleic Acid Gel Documentation

The FastGene® FAS-Digi PRO is our newest imaging system for the detection of DNA and RNA in agarose gels. This gel doc system is a further development of our very successful FAS-Digi (GP-05LED). Equiped with a light-sensitive 24 MPixel camera, the FAS-Digi PRO is controlled completely by our newly developed imaging software. With the live view mode, all changes of the camera, the exposure time, the lens aperture, and a digital zoom are displayed in real-time. The FAS-Digi PRO is a fully networkable gel doc system, which allows a simple transfer of images when connected to a PC.

Camera for High Quality Agarose Gels

Take images of agarose gels of the highest quality using the Canon EOS 200D. This camera has an immense APS-C CMOS-sensor with a diameter of 22.3 x 14.9. The sensor produces no visible noise at all from ISO 100 all the way up to ISO 1600. Furthermore, the 24 megapixels allows the detection of lowest light signals in agarose gels.

The exposure time of the sensor can be set from 1/4000 sec up to 30 sec. A very short exposure guarantees that even the brightest DNA band will be visible within the dynamic range. Exposing the sensor for up 30 sec will enable the detection of even the faintest band. The 3x zoom (focal length of 18 mm to 55 mm) allows a perfect enlargement of the area of interest. Setting the lens at 18 mm allows the imaging of the complete illuminated area, while zooming into 55 mm will eliminate any unnecessary area.

The camera is directly connected to the power supply adapter of the Fas-Digi PRO. Therefore, the camera is constantly supplied with power.

Replacing batteries is no longer necessary.

Easy-To-Use Control Imaging Software

The FastGene® FAS-Digi PRO comes with the intuitive NIPPON Genetics Camera Studio software. With this software you can control all necessary parameters of the camera to analyse and optimize all your images: Just adjust the aperture, exposing time, sensitivity and focus and make images of the highest quality. A very nice feature is to control the focus by using a mouse wheel. Furthermore, you can select and enlarged the area of interest by using the mouse. Images can be recorded in the common TIFF and JPEG format. For prints just use a printer connected to your PC. Recommended printer is the thermal Mitsubishi Thermal Printer (P95DE), which creates brilliant prints on high-glossy paper.
