Elevate Your Gel Imaging with Accuris SmartDoc 2.0
Experience the future of gel imaging with the Benchmark Scientific Accuris SmartDoc 2.0. This innovative system combines safety, efficiency, and smartphone integration to streamline your nucleic acid visualization and documentation processes.
The illumination base emits an intense blue light with a peak output of 460nm for optimum excitation of nucleic acids stained with green fluorescent dyes (SYBR® Green, SmartGlow™, GelStar™, GelGreen™, etc). The orange cover fits on top of the illumination base and acts as a filter to absorb blue light, allowing visualization of the fluorescing samples. The cover can also be set at an angle for gel access and cutting out DNA bands for further study.
Optional amber glasses are available (NEB-E4000-VG1 SmartBlue Viewing Glasses). These are ideal for users that are doing a lot of band excision work, as they eliminate the need for the orange cover allowing full access to the gels.
The SmartDoc™ imaging enclosure includes an orange photo filter for photography of the gels with a smart phone. An extending adapter can be inserted for full dimension imaging of gels up to 15 x 15 cm or removed for close up pictures. The enclosure can also be used directly on any other existing UV or blue light transilluminator. Additional filters are available for imaging gels on a UV transilluminator. Please see our “Filter and User Guide” to show which filter is best for different imaging applications.
Please see our Technical Bulletin showing sample gel images captured with an iPhone using the SmartDoc System.
The SmartDoc Imaging Enclosure can also be purchased separately (item no. NEB-E5000-SD) without the blue light illumination base. The enclosure by itself can be used on most existing UV transilluminators or blue light transilluminators for smart phone imaging.
