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).

Die GelPic Box* wird von uns seit etwa vier Monaten als Hauptgerät für die Detektion von DNA-Banden in Agarose-Gelen verwendet. Die Box punktet trotz der leichten Bedienbarkeit und der kompakten Bauweise mit hochqualitativen Bildern. Um den USB-Speicher im Netzwerk zugänglich zu machen, benutzen wir einen USB-Switch, der per Knopfdruck den Stick mit einem benachbarten PC verbindet.
Wir sind sehr zufrieden mit der blau-grünen LED-Technik und haben unsere gesamten UV-Geräte im Sinne des Proben- und Arbeitsschutzes ersetzt.

We use the GelPic Box* already four months as the main device for the detection of DNA bands in agarose gels. The GelPic Box have a compact design, is easy to use and make images with a high quality. In order to make the USB memory accessible in the network, we use a USB switch that connects the stick to a neighboring PC. We are very satisfied with the blue-green LED technology and have replaced our entire UV devices to protect our samples and colleagues.

We use the box in our student courses. Easy handling, minimum space requirement and fast USB storage make it a very useful tool. Image quality is good for Midori/EtBr stained gels as well as for acrylamide gels and blots.

Wir verwenden die Blau/Grün GelPic LED Box* seit einem halben Jahr und sind bisher sehr zufrieden. Unsere Hauptanwendung ist die Untersuchung von DNA in Agarosegelen (ohne Ethidiumbromid), was die Box sehr gut meistert. Die Box ist klein, einfach zu handhaben, und fertigt, ohne Verwendung von schädlicher UV-Strahlung, Bilder guter Qualität an.

We use the Blue/Green GelPic LED Box* for half a year and are so far very satisfied. Our main application is the study of DNA in agarose gels (without ethidium bromide), which is performed very well by the box. The box is small, easy to handle and produces high quality images without using harmful UV radiation.

Wir benutzen die Box schon seit einem Jahr und sind absolut zufrieden mit der sehr leichten Bedienbarkeit und der Performance. Die Empfindlichkeit bei Ethidiumbromid-gefärbten DNA-Agarosegelen steht der mit einem herkömmlichen UV-Tisch in nichts nach. Die Box ist extrem kompakt und ganz leicht zu transportieren. Wir benutzen sie täglich sowohl im Praktikum mit den Studierenden (hier ist es besonders günstig, dass man ohne schädigende UV.Strahlung arbeiten und die Daten direkt auf einem USB-Stick abspeichern kann) als auch im Laboralltag. Wir haben alle alten UV-Tische “ausgemustert” und durch FastGene LED-Boxen ersetzt. Absolut empfehlenswert!

We use the Blue/Green GelPic LED Box* since one year and are totally satisfied with the very easy handling and the performance. The sensitivity of DNA agarose gels stained with ethidium bromide is as great as with a common UV table. The box is extremely compact and very easy to transport. We use it every day in student courses (at this point it is in particular advantageous that it is possible to work without harmful UV radiation and that the data can be directly saved on a USB stick) as well as in daily laboratory work. We replaced all old UV tables by FastGene LED boxes. Absolutely recommended!
