FastGene FAS-BG LED BOX

Details

Compact imaging System with Blue/Green LED

The FastGene^® FAS-BG LED BOX comes with the advantages of the Blue/Green LED technology combined with a compact footprint. The powerful stand alone device fits in every lab space. All red and green DNA dyes are easily detectable with this system.

In addition to the Blue/Green LED light, the FastGene^® FAS-BG LED BOX also includes Epi White LED light for petri dishes and membranes and white back light for easy detection of protein gels.

NEW MODEL 2022

The FastGene^® FAS-BG LED BOX is the new version of the imaging box formerly known as  FastGene^® Blue/Green GelPic LED BOX from 2015.

New features:

• Integrated touchscreen for easiest handling
• HDMI port for convenient connection to an external monitor

The large touch screen display and inbuild software allows easy navigation and image capturing.

One imaging system – multiple applications

• The Blue/Green LED technology permits the detection of DNA with highest sensitivity and without harming your eyes, skin or your sample.

• With the white LED array you can image colorimetric protein gels stained with coomassie or silver staining.
  The white LED light transilluminator of the the FAS-BG LED BOX is located in the upper lid of the device. It allows efficient illumination of transparent protein gels, colorimetrically stained, e.g., with “Coomassie blue”.

• The white LED epi-illumination allows the documentation of opaque surfaces such as petri dishes or membranes.

Excise your DNA fragments the easy way

The FastGene^® FAS-BG LED BOX comes with an amber filter shield that can be fastened on the upper lid.
The amber filter shield filters out the Blue/Green LED excitation wavelengths and allows a clear visualization of DNA bands.

Easy connection to an external (touch) monitor

The FastGene^® FAS-BG LED BOX contains two USB-ports (one front, one back) and an HDMI-port.
You can easily connect an external (touch) monitor via the HDMI-port and view your gel images on a larger screen.
The device also supports the connection of a thermal printer via USB (Sony UP-D897 MD and Sony UP-D898 MD).

Applications

Get great signal with red or green DNA dyes

The new LED technology enables the detection of DNA from red as well as green DNA dyes. Below are images taken with the FastGene^® FAS-BG LED Box. For comparison reasons, the 1.5% agarose gels made with TAE Buffer were stained with Ethidium Bromide or with Midori Green Advance recommended concentrations and loaded with 5 µL DNA Ladder. Additionally, the 5 µL DNA ladder was stained using Midori Green Direct and added to an unstained gel:

Documentation of petri dishes, protein gels and Western Blot images

• Colorimetric protein gels can be visualized with white LED light.
• The white epi light is used fo the document opaque surfaces such as Petri dishes or membranes
