Professional grade gel documentation system with dark-room cabinet having UV transillumination drawers and epi-illuminations options.

The ProGEL-CCD is a high performance and low cost gel documentation system that features a high-resolution 1.4 megapixel, 12-bit CCD camera. These easy to use systems come with their own innovative, safe darkroom that houses the UV transilluminator, white light epi-illumination, optional white-light screen and camera. The system is provided with two software - one for PC-driven real-time camera capture, image storage and editing and second for analysis of gels.

The camera is coupled to a super-fine zoom lens that enables crisp gel captures.

The gel documentation system is provided with a UV transilluminator that provides illumination from below the gel. This is the usual configuration for looking at Ethidium Bromide DNA gels.

Other options include the use of transmitted white or blue light, and even overhead Epi UV light.
