Gel Documentation Systems

Advanced Gel Documentation Systems from Thistle Scientific are a useful tool for the examination of DNA, RNA, and protein gels. Modern imaging technology is included into these systems, improving the precision and effectiveness of gel analysis.

Researchers and scientists can benefit from the precision and convenience of Thistle Scientific’s Gel Documentation Systems. By replacing traditional methods with these innovative systems, the process of capturing, analysing, and storing gel data becomes more streamlined and efficient.

Our devices create new opportunities for molecular biology research and analysis by enabling high-clarity visualisation and interpretation of gel data. They serve as an invaluable resource for people looking for insights from gel-based research due to its intuitive interface and incorporation of contemporary imaging technology.

Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis

Cleaver Scientific Mini Vertical systems are predominantly used for protein electrophoresis.

By combining both functionality and ease of use, the omniPAGE systems set the bench mark for simple, versatile vertical mini gel electrophoresis. Each omniPAGE electrophoresis system can accommodate up to 4 handcast gels (additional plates required) or 2 commercial precast gels to provide complete flexibility for individual research needs, while unique sliding clamp technology within the PAGE insert facilitates fast, intuitive leak-free casting.

With a trouble-free set up and consistent performance, the omniPAGE Mini Vertical systems are perfect for today’s laboratories, where the ability to generate reproducible results quickly is essential.

Standard UV Transilluminator

Available in 21x21cm and 21x26cm sizes, our transilluminators are supplied either as standalone units or with the MicroDOC, as part of a fully integrated gel documentation system. With a large surface area, each transilluminator serves as the perfect workstation for viewing and working with fluorescently-stained protein and nucleic acid gels.

Standard features include a high/low intensity safety switch and an efficient starter that allows each of the six 8-Watt UV tubes to energise quickly without flickering, while special filter glass minimises unwanted background light. All of these features maximise contrast and sensitivity, allowing even the faintest fluorescent gels to be viewed. Two dual wavelength models offer added flexibility and convenience.

We recommend the 312nm wavelength transilluminator for standard gel documentation requirements. 254nm wavelength transilluminators will cause more DNA damage and are suited to other applications such as crosslinking. 254nm bulbs may also be visible through the filter making them unsuitable for gel documentation.

Gel Documentation Systems

The omniDOC from Cleaver Scientific offers high performance gel documentation and analysis at a relatively low cost. By providing many of the features used by leading gel documentation brands, but without the added price premium, each omniDOC system presents a simple but sophisticated imaging solution for most laboratories.

A high resolution 5 mega pixel monochrome camera with slide-out UV transilluminator, and optional blue epi-illumination module and white light table, makes the omniDOC suitable for imaging most fluorescent and colorimetric gels, while a USB port requires a cable to connect the dark room assembly to an external PC for control.

Imaging applications are made easy by a pre-focused camera that requires little or no manual adjustment, while simple one-click image acquisition and analysis software guides the user through every step of the gel documentation process. A front LED indicator panel reveals at a glance the light source in use, whereas a viewing screen with universal filter and spring-loaded cover facilitates safe and convenient gel inspection.
