This iBright System Contrast Tray is an iBright imaging system accessory designed to improve the imaging of visible protein gels The dual layer tray is designed to create optimal lighting conditions when used with the green LED transilluminator on the iBright imaging system, improving the contrast and lowering the overall background to capture high-quality visible-stain images.

• Compatible with all iBright models (CL750, CL1000, CL1500, FL1000, and FL1500)
• Provides contrasting background when imaging protein gels stained with colorimetric stains such as Coomassie blue and silver stains; improves conditions when samples contain dyes that auto-fluoresce under green LED light
• Recommended for transillumination of crystal violet-stained colony plates
• A replacement for the White Transilluminator Screen (Cat. No. A33828)

For Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

What dyes and stains are supported by the iBright Imaging Systems?

The iBright Imaging Systems support a wide range of dyes, stains, and fluorophores from the visible to NIR wavelength range.

For more information on compatible reagents and applications, visit this page.

To learn more about the iBright system-supported fluorophores and installed filters and light sources, visit Fluorescence SpectraViewer.

How large is the sample imaging area on the iBright Imaging Systems?

The imaging area of the iBright Imaging system is 22.5 x 18.0 cm. This gives ample space for imaging 4 mini blots (or 2 midi blots) simultaneously.

What sample types can I image with the iBright CL750 Imaging System?

The iBright CL750 Imaging System supports imaging of chemiluminescent western blots, colorimetric and fluorescent stained gels, and nucleic acid gels. It can also be used to image GFP- and crystal violet-stained colony plates.

For additional information about these applications or to learn more about the three iBright model capabilities, visit this page.

What sample types can I image with the iBright CL1500 Imaging System?

The iBright CL1500 Imaging System supports a wide range of applications including the following:

Protein gel: colorimetric staining of gels (e.g., Coomassie, silver) and membranes (e.g., Ponceau S, Thermo Scientific Pierce Reversible Protein Stain), fluorescent staining of gels (e.g., Invitrogen SYPRO Ruby stain)

Nucleic acid gel: ethidium bromide and Invitrogen SYBR stains; imaging of E-Gels and hand pour gels is supported

Chemiluminescent western blot: chemiluminescence using all popular HRP and AP substrates (e.g., Thermo Scientific SuperSignal and Invitrogen WesternBreeze substrates)

Additional applications: colony counting for GFP, crystal violet, and blue/white colonies; TLC plates, and leaf sections

What sample types can I image with the iBright FL1500 Imaging System?

The iBright FL1500 Imaging System provides maximum application support including up to 4-channel multiplex western blot imaging. See the list below for more details:

Protein gel: colorimetric staining of gels (e.g., Coomassie, silver) and membranes (e.g., Ponceau S, Thermo Scientific Pierce Reversible Protein Stain), fluorescent staining of gels (e.g., Invitrogen SYPRO Ruby stain)

Nucleic acid gel: ethidium bromide and Invitrogen SYBR stains; imaging of E-Gels and hand-poured gels is supported

Chemiluminescent western blot: chemiluminescence using all popular HRP and AP substrates (e.g., Thermo Scientific SuperSignal and Invitrogen WesternBreeze substrates)

Fluorescent western blot: fluorescence with popular RGB (visible range) and near-IR fluorophores (e.g., Invitrogen Alexa Fluor and Alexa Fluor Plus conjugates)

Additional applications: colony counting for GFP, crystal violet, and blue/white colonies; TLC plates, and leaf sections
