System innovationsOur ProFlex™, Veriti®, and SimpliAmp™ thermal cyclers have

updated color touch-screens for easy programming and

monitoring of your run status at the bench. Simulation modes

allow easy transition from previous thermal cyclers by simulating

the ramp speed of your old instrument.

VeriFlex™ technology—an innovative way to do PCRThe ProFlex™, Veriti®, and SimpliAmp™ systems feature VeriFlex™ Blocks for enhanced PCR functionality.

Separate Peltier blocks provide maximal versatility and flexibility, and offer these key benefits:

More precise control• PCR optimisation: each block can be set with up to

six specific temperatures, which is ideal for precise

control over PCR optimisation

A better-than-gradient approach• VeriFlex™ Blocks maintain their thermal

characteristics between optimising and isothermal

conditions, eliminating the need for further

optimisation steps

More than just for PCR optimisation• VeriFlex™ Blocks have an additional benefit over

gradient thermal cyclers: since the Peltier blocks

are separate, it’s possible to run up to six different

temperatures in the same protocol step (Figure 1)

• Tired of water baths? Incubate samples at up to six

different temperatures simultaneously for enzyme

activation studies, restriction digests, or sequencing

library preps

E-Gel® Imager SystemRevolutionising gel

electrophoresis documentation

The E-Gel® Imager System makes agarose gel documentation and analysis personal. Now you can get the power and features of a larger and more complex gel imaging system combined with the sleek footprint and affordability of a benchtop device.

• Affordable—the least expensive imaging system available with a scientific-grade camera

• Space saving—fits on most benchtops, light enough to be moved easily

• Easy to use—simple setup and intuitive software for analysis of E-Gel® gels or other agarose gels

• Quality images—capture sharp, rich images, even during a run, that can be analysed using powerful

Gel Quant Express software

• Convenient—with a personal imager you can reduce the wait time and the need to reprogramme

your settings that you would have with other larger, shared systems

A flexible system to meet your workflow needs

The E-Gel® Imager System is the perfect solution for

documenting any E-Gel® precast agarose gel, and it’s

great for self-cast gels as well. Each E-Gel® Imager

System includes a camera hood and interchangeable

base, and the bases are available separately as well.

Choose from these three base options:

1 Blue-light transilluminator – use to excite innovative

SYBR® dyes like those found in E-Gel® EX gels or in

SYBR® Safe stain

2 UV transilluminator – best for traditional ethidium

bromide-stained gels

3 E-Gel® Adaptor Base – allows real-time gel

documentation with compatible E-Gel® Go! or E-Gel®

iBase™ System/EGSI


There are three interchangeable filters to provide even greater

flexibility to capture images of various stains - including the orange

“universal” filter, a green filter optimal for SYBR® stains, and a red-

hued filter for use with Molecular Probes® Qdot® 625 products.

Do a quick check or more in-depth analysis

It’s easy to quickly capture an image any time you run a gel. For many

applications, estimating the size and quantity of nucleic acid in a

certain band in a gel is important for downstream steps. The E-Gel®

Imager Gel Quant Express software was designed for just this type of

image analysis after capture. Use this full-featured yet uncomplicated

software to document, quantitate, and analyse your results.

The perfect gel imaging solution

The E-Gel® Imager System is the perfect solution for documenting

and analysing your agarose gel results. Order your E-Gel® Imager

System today, and experience the exceptional flexibility and power to

capture and analyse images of your agarose gels more conveniently

than ever before.

capture manipulations can be performed.


Protein Workflow: Separate

• Easy sample loading—with a forward-facing well

configuration

• Less running buffer required—two separate gel

chambers, so you only need to load sufficient buffer for

each gel

• Simultaneous visualisation of both gels—streamlined,

side-by-side tank configuration

• Simplified monitoring of prestained protein markers—with the white tank stand

• Constant voltage or current settings

• Built-in timer for walk-away gel electrophoresis

• Output jacks that are compatible with most

electrophoresis devices

• The PowerEase® 300W can run four tanks using

Bis-Tris (NuPage®, Bolt®) mini or midi gels

Bolt® Mini Gel Tank

An innovative side-by-side tank for easy visualisation and faster sample loading. Its constant voltage allows Bolt® Bis-Tris Plus gels to be run in about 35 minutes, with a turbo protocol available to run gels in as little as 22 minutes.

PowerEase® 300W Power Supply

The PowerEase® 300W Power Supply is designed specifically for mini gel electrophoresis. The straight-forward, intuitive interface makes the powering of DNA and protein gel runs a simple and easy process.

Workflow label: Transfer and DetectiBlot® 2 Dry Blotting System

Designed to deliver self-contained, reproducible, and flexible gel transfer in 7 minutes. No need for buffers or an external power supply, and you don’t have to sacrifice efficiency or uniformity.

The iBind™ Western System—Hands-free western blotting

The iBind™ Western System is an automated, hands-free western blotting device that enables more consistent, sensitive, and faster western blots.It employs sequential lateral flow technology, allowing for the

timed release of primary and secondary antibodies through

mechanical pressure applied from the device to the iBind™ Card.

Glass fiber embedded in the iBind™ Card allows the antibody

and wash solutions to flow at a constant rate over the western

membrane, and a wick attached to one end of the iBind™ Card

pulls liquid across the card and membrane. Just load your

solutions and walk away.

• Compatible with multiple gel chemistries—(Bis-Tris,

Tris-glycine, and Tris-acetate) and membrane types

(PVDF and nitrocellulose)

• Flexible gel formats—transfer 1 midi or 2 mini gels

simultaneously

• Touch screen interface—for ease of use

• All antibody binding and washing steps are automated for you

• No electricity or battery required

• Compatible with HRP- and AP-conjugated antibodies


EVOS® Cell Imaging SystemsEliminating the complexities of microscopy

EVOS® systems were designed to allow researchers

to focus on their data rather than worrying about the

operation of a microscope.

From cell culture to complex protein analysis and

multi-channel fluorescence imaging, EVOS® imaging

systems help you perform a variety of routine and

speciality applications.

Our proprietary LED light cube technology minimises

photobleaching, offers >50,000 hours of LED

illumination, and allows adjustable intensity—with no

darkroom and no consumable costs.

Improved workflowEVOS® systems are designed to work together—

from the initial cell culture check (for viability and

morphology) to more complex analyses such as

time lapse and image tiling and stitching. An EVOS®

system will allow you to spend more time analysing

images—and less time trying to capture images.

An EVOS® system is a must-have in your lab for cell imaging – whether you’re capturing images for publication, teaching, or research.
