Name of the Instrument/Platform

GE Typhoon FLA-7000 Phosphoimager

Feature Highlights

Key features of the Typhoon imager include:
1. Applications: radioisotopic labels by storage phosphor, chemifluorescent Western blots, and single fluorescence, as well as digitization of colorimetric stains (e.g., Coomassie^™ Blue and silver-stained gels)
2. Resolution: 16-bit images are generated at up to 25 µm pixel resolution
3. Speed: 24 × 25 cm gel can be scanned in less than two minutes at 100 µm resolution
4. Four lasers: blue (473 nm), green (532 nm), red (635 nm), and red (650 nm)
5. Radioisotopes: 3H, 14C, 32P, 33P, 35S
6. Max scanning area: phosphorimaging: 20 × 40 cm, fluorescence: 24 × 40 cm

Summary

The Typhoon Phosphoimager is a fast and versatile laser scanner for sensitive and quantitative measurements of radio-isotropic-labeled samples. The Typhoon is a non-confocal variable mode laser scanner offering high-speed and resolution for precise quantitation of proteins, nucleic acids and other biomolecules. The scanner comprises "filmless" autoradiography with storage phosphor screens. The laser can generate 16-bit images at up to 25 μm pixel resolution to give precise quantitation in gels and blots, with a high speed to scan gels of up to 240 × 250 mm in less than 2 min. Two phosphor screens with a size of 200 × 250 mm are available for autoradiography. The scanner can detect a broad range of isotopes in radiolabeled samples. Directly adjacent to the phosphoimager system, there is a PC computer with a software package that allows on-site quantitative and qualitative analysis of images and data.
