iBright™ CL1500 Imaging System

iBright Imaging Systems support total lane protein-based normalization and housekeeping gene (HKP)-based normalization. To support the methods best suited for your experiment, iBright Imaging Systems and iBright Analysis Software provide multiple quantitation and normalization options to monitor or mathematically compensate for experimental or sample variability.

To learn more about total lane protein normalization, explore our application note.

The iBright Imaging Systems utilize a transilluminator based on green LEDs, which effectively excite popular DNA dyes such ethidium bromide and SYBR Green dye and offer several additional benefits:

- No harmful UV rays: While UV light effectively excites many fluorescent dyes and stains, UV light is a health hazard. Further, prolonged exposure to UV light can damage DNA samples, and compromise the integrity of samples to be used for downstream applications, such as subcloning.
- No mercury waste: UV transilluminator bulbs may contain mercury, a hazardous substance, and therefore require special care for handling and disposal.
- Longer lifetime: LED bulbs have a substantially longer real-time life than fluorescent UV bulbs, which can add up to considerable cost savings over the lifetime of the instrument.
