Syngene G:BOX Chemi XRQ

Features

Why buy this product

• Performance
  With the new GeneSys control software the user simply has to tell the G:BOX Chemi XRQ the sample type and dye and leave the rest to the automated capture system. Images are produced quickly with the minimum of effort. No other system on the market offers this level of control.

• High specification
  The new 4m pixel system with high quantum efficiency offers greater sensitivity. The addition of cooling enables longer exposures to be used which can be a necessity for some fluorescence applications and definitely for chemiluminescence.

• Modular

  The new design of G:BOX Chemi XRQ enables the user to use a range of options. This includes the latest LED fluorescence lighting modules for Epi illumination, providing the user with the ability to perform coloured fluorescent, multiplex and colorimetric imaging.

Anglia Ruskin University Successfully uses Syngene Imaging System
For Teaching Applications and to Study Proteins Implicated in Diseases

Cambridge, UK: Syngene, a world-leading manufacturer of image analysis sol-
utions, today announced its G:BOX Chemi XRQ multi-application imager is being
utilised at Anglia Ruskin University in Cambridge, UK as both a teaching tool and
as part of research to analyse genes and proteins associated with diseases.

The G:BOX Chemi XRQ multi-application imager at Anglia Ruskin University,
Cambridge is so flexible that it is being used for teaching post-graduates and as
part of research projects to detect DNA and proteins on gels and blots.
Researchers in the school are using the system to accurately analyse the signal
molecules implicated in the pathogenesis of diseases and could help provide
information for identifying novel therapeutic targets for treatment.

Dr Grisha Pirianov, Senior Lecturer in Biomedical Sciences at Anglia Ruskin
University commented: “We were using ECL/X-ray films for imaging our chemi-
luminescent Western blots, but this was costly, required a darkroom and it was
difficult to obtain good quantitative results.”

Grisha continued: “We are now using a G:BOX Chemi XRQ system regularly for
research projects by PhD and post-doctoral scientists, as well as students on our
Masters’ course in Applied Biosciences because it is simple for everyone to set-up
with their own secure logins so they can customise their exposure times with
specific antibodies and store results on their own computers. This means we no
longer need to optimise our imaging times because the best images with low
backgrounds are automatically captured. Also, since the G:BOX Chemi XRQ is
more sensitive than the ECL/X-ray film approach our protein quantification is more accurate.”

“We’re delighted to hear that Anglia Ruskin University is using a G:BOX Chemi XRQ for both their vital research and teaching applications,” states Dr Martin Biggs, Sales Manager at Syngene. “The regular use of a Syngene imaging system by so many different types of researcher demonstrates how easy it is for novice and experienced scientists alike to generate accurate Western blot results with a G:BOX Chemi XRQ.”
