iBright Western Blot Imaging Systems

Capture images and analyze data from western blots and gels efficiently and easily with the Invitrogen iBright Imaging Systems. These high-performance instruments enhance the imaging experience through powerful hardware, advanced automated technologies, and an interface that is easy to use for researchers of all experience levels.

Two iBright Imaging System models are available: the iBright CL1000 and iBright FL1000. The iBright CL1000 model is capable of imaging chemiluminescent western blots in addition to stained protein and nucleic acid gels. The iBright FL1000 model features the same imaging modes as the iBright CL1000 model, yet also offers fluorescent blot imaging capability.

Feature overview of the iBright Imaging Systems:

• 9.1 MP cooled CCD camera: high sensitivity and dynamic range to help enable the detection of subtle differences in samples
• 5 fluorescence channels: multiplex and capture up to 4 proteins in a single blot for more meaningful and representative experiments (FL1000 model only)
• Smart Exposure technology: provides rapid determination of optimal exposure time to help minimize the need to repeat exposures
• Simple interface: clear layout of functions and features combined with a 12.1-inch capacitive touchscreen for a smooth imaging experience
• Advanced automated features: automatic sample rotation, automatic zoom, automatic focus help streamline image capture
• 22.5 x 18.0 cm field of view: large field of view for high-throughput imaging (image up to 4 mini or 2 midi blots at a time)
• Green LED-based transilluminator: effectively excite popular DNA dyes such as ethidium bromide and Invitrogen SYBR Green dyes with an alternative to UV-based transilluminators
• Flexible connectivity: export captured images via ethernet connection, Wi-Fi (with optional accessory), USB, or directly to Connect (cloud-based platform)
