Summary

The Biorad Chemidoc is an easy, high-performance gel and blot imaging for accurate quantification of protein samples in gels and membranes. The Chemidoc streamlines Western blotting in a five-step approach by combining traditional blotting techniques with innovative tools to allow improved band quantitation and quick assessment of electrophoresis results and blot transfer quality prior to western blotting. The Chemidoc enables rapid western blot results in as little as 15 min with efficient protein transfer in 3 min, and 5 min stain-free gel imaging. The imbeded software includes all the tools for quantitative and qualitative image and data analysis. Images taken on the ChemiDoc can also directly be print.
