A traditional gel documentation system for DNA or protein gels has a CCD camera, a lens and a filter packaged inside a darkroom box. It more than likely has an illumination source or sources to enable you to capture images of gels and blots. It’s been done this way for the last 25 years – isn’t it time to upgrade and use the latest technology to enhance your gel and blot imaging? That’s what the engineers and scientists at Pop-Bio thought when they developed Vü with the Advanced Progressive Imaging technology.

Vü-F is for fluorescence applications such as DNA gels, protein gels, safe dye gels. The sliding drawer can accept samples up to 20cm x 20cm and has a series of trays available for different application types. Just place your sample on the tray and push it in. Vü detects the sample type and captures an image using either UV or blue light. The use of traditional ethidium bromide stained UV gels may be declining but a 302nm light source is still built in. For safe dyes there are integral blue LED’s. You can still use a traditional white light converter to view commassie and silver stain samples.

With Vü you can take any mobile device, tablet, laptop, computer and link it with your Vü. In fact, your only control is to capture the image – no fussy setups are required because we don’t use a camera, lens or filter wheel. Just push the sample draw in and Vü does the rest. Analysis of 1D gels and Western blots with Vü One D software is rapid, automated to a high level and reproducible. Highly developed algorithms accurately detect lanes and bands even on distorted gel images. Calibrate the bands using one or more Molecular Size standard lanes and derive absolute band quantitation using known quantity calibration standards in your samples.
