FLA-5000  
     
  The new FLA-5000 imaging system allows scanning of fluorescent and radioisotopic samples as large as 40 x 46cm at resolutions as low as 25 microns. This system is especially suitable for protein electrophoresis in the proteomics field and general array analysis for genomics.
         
 
Features
  • Large scanning size (up to 40 x 46cm) with selectable scanning area is especially suitable for large size 2D protein electrophoresis gel analysis. Available imaging plates (IPs) include: 1 x (3543 MS IP), 2 x (2340, 2325 MS IP) and 2 x (2040, 2025 MS, SR, ND, TR IP).
  • Scanning resolutions are user-selectable at 25, 50, 100 or 200-micron pixels depending on specific application requirements.
  • Multiple lasers add imaging applications. The FLA-5000 includes three standard lasers: SHG blue laser (473nm), SHG green laser (532nm) and LD red laser (635nm). Another LD laser may be added internally as an option, while another port is available for an additional laser to be connected externally in the future.
  • The versatility of multi-format detection allows many sampling opportunities with a single sampling tool. Radioisotope by IP method: IP-S (standard mode for RI detection) generates logarithmic converted values in PSL units. IP-V (variable mode) can change the high voltage of the photomultiplier tube (PMT), which enables X-ray diffraction study, non- destructive testing and other IP detection studies. Fluorescence by laser scanning and PMT: Image reader software controls repetitive scanning of the sample by different laser and emission filters. When added with the second channel PMT, a laser and dual emission filter mode can be enabled. Chemiluminescence by direct detecting: Chemiluminescence can be detected.
  • Digitizing Function by Epi-illumination with fluorescent screen: Applicable for transparent gels with sliver stain, CBB stain, NBT stain and others.
  • Incorperates the proven performance of Fujifilm`s Phosphor Imaging Plate systems.
  • Modular optional components provide future upgrades to meet individual application needs.
  • No dedicated power supply or cooling system are required.
