The ChemiDoc MP Imaging System is a full-feature, best-in-class instrument for imaging and quantifying nucleic acid and protein in gels and western blots. It is capable of imaging fluorescent western blots (RGB, far-red, near-IR), chemiluminescent western blots, all common nucleic acid and protein gel stains, plus stain-free gels. Includes internal computer, 12" touch-screen display, camera, Blot/UV/Stain-Free Sample Tray, Image Lab™ Touch Software, and Image Lab Software
Need a customised solution?
Optional accessories are available for purchase separately. If your order needs a customised configuration, our technical specialists will follow up with full details before your order is finalised. Contact us via the enquiry form or sales@lasec.com.
Installation, training and special delivery
Some products require installation, training, or special delivery (such as tail-lift trucks, extra labour, or hazardous material packaging). If your order needs this, we'll contact you with the additional cost before dispatch, so your final invoice may differ from the listed price.
Ordering from outside South Africa
Online ordering is currently limited to South African customers, but our full range is still available. Log an enquiry or email international@lasec.com and our international sales team will assist you through our traditional sales channels.
Use the ChemiDoc MP Imaging System for flexible, high-sensitivity multiplex fluorescent and chemiluminescence western blot detection, imaging gels, analysis and documentation. This system is compatible with a wide range of fluorophores, such as StarBright™ Secondary Antibodies, ethidium bromide, SYPRO Ruby, Coomassie, and silver stains.
