Bio-Rad ChemiDoc Go Imaging System and Image Lab Touch Software (Brand Name or Equal)

Purchase Bio-Rad ChemiDoc Go Imaging System with Image Lab Touch Software (Brand Name or Equal) 1.0 Specifications The ChemiDoc Go Imaging System is required to support critical laboratory workflows for protein and nucleic acid analysis. This system is uniquely qualified due to the following technical necessities:  Sensitivity & Resolution: The 20 MP CMOS detector with deep cooling is essential for detecting low-abundance proteins in chemiluminescence blots, providing sensitivity comparable to traditional film without the environmental and time costs of a darkroom.  Operational Efficiency: The "Smart Tray Technology" and automated pre-calibrated autofocus/auto-exposure algorithms minimize user error and variability between experiments, which is crucial for high-throughput diagnostic platform development.  Internal Illumination: All-LED internal provides a broad range of excitation wavelengths for various stains while eliminating the recurring maintenance costs and downtime associated with bulb replacements.  Benchtop Integration: The large imaging area (21 x 14 cm) combined with an onboard 9.7" multi-touch screen eliminates the requirement for a dedicated external PC, optimizing valuable lab bench space and allowing for rapid, standalone image acquisition and analysis. Must meet the following specifications:  Must have a high-resolution detector (at least 20 MP CMOS) with deep cooling to provide sensitivity for chemiluminescence film.  Must have all-LED internal illumination (UV, Blue, Amber, Green, and White) to eliminate the need for bulb replacements and provide precise excitation for various stains.  Must have "Smart Tray Technology" that automatically recognizes the application- specific tray and adjusts imaging parameters and software options accordingly.  Required to have a large imaging area (at least 21 x 14 cm) capable of imaging up to four mini-gels or blots simultaneously.  Required to have onboard, multi-touch screen operation (9.7" or larger) running integrated software for image capture, eliminating the need for an external PC at the bench.  Required to have automated imaging capabilities, including pre-calibrated autofocus and auto-exposure algorithms for rapid and optimal image acquisition. -- 1 of 2 -- 2.0 Place of Delivery USDA/ARS/Produce Safety & Microbiology 800 Buchanan St. Albany, CA 94710 3.0 Delivery Schedule 60 days ARO -- 2 of 2 --
