The Gel Doc System BZGDS-503 is used for imaging and documentation of DNA/RNA and protein gels with high sensitivity and clarity. Equipped with a scientific-grade camera, UV LED transilluminator, and a special filter, it ensures accurate and reliable results. Ideal for molecular biology labs for nucleic acid and protein analysis.
Frequently Asked Questions
1: What makes the BZGDS-503 better at detecting faint DNA bands?
The BZGDS-503 uses a high-sensitivity camera with 16-bit grayscale depth and 97% quantum efficiency, which enables it to capture even faint EB-stained DNA bands as low as 5 pg.
2: How large of a gel can I image with the BZGDS-503?
Both the DNA/RNA and protein gel trays can accommodate gels up to 17 × 13 cm, which is suitable for most routine electrophoresis applications.
3: Is the BZGDS-503 portable or fixed?
Though not handheld, the BZGDS-503 is compact and lightweight enough to be relocated within lab benches or between rooms with ease.
4: What are the energy requirements of BZGDS-503?
The BZGDS-503 is designed for low power consumption, typically under 100W, and works with standard AC input (110–240V) without requiring a stabilizer.
5: Is the BZGDS-503 noisy or disruptive in a quiet lab setting?
No. The BZGDS-503 is designed to be ultra-quiet and vibration-free, making it suitable for both research and clinical environments.
6: What types of gels can I image?
You can image agarose gels (e.g., DNA stained with Ethidium Bromide or SYBR Safe), polyacrylamide gels, and protein gels stained with Coomassie Blue or silver stain.
7: Does the system require a darkroom?
No. Gel Doc systems are self-contained with light-tight enclosures, so no separate darkroom is required.
8: What light sources are used for illumination?
Most Gel Docs include UV transilluminators. Some also feature white light or blue light (for non-toxic dyes) as additional options.
