Description
The Multifunctional Imager YG1711 represents the next generation of laboratory imaging technology, combining high-performance detection with unparalleled versatility. At its core lies a back-illuminated sCMOS sensor with 9.0 megapixel resolution and 4.8OD dynamic range, delivering publication-quality images for chemiluminescence, fluorescence (including FR/NIR), and gel documentation applications. The system’s -30°C regulated cooling ensures low-noise performance during long exposures, while the auto-focus F0.95 lens (upgradable to F0.8) captures even the faintest bands with precision. Unique fixed 4-layer sample trays accommodate various Western blot membrane sizes, and the electronic lifting platform automatically adjusts for optimal imaging of different sample types. With unlimited-user SHST software and the option for a high-speed removable PC, this imager is priced competitively in the upper-mid range, offering exceptional value for research institutes and core facilities demanding all-in-one imaging excellence.
Frequently Asked Questions:
- What makes the YG1711 stand out from other imagers? Its back-illuminated sCMOS sensor provides higher sensitivity and faster readout than conventional CCD systems, while the 4-layer sample tray system streamlines Western blot workflows.
- Can it detect near-infrared fluorescence? Yes! The system supports FR/NIR detection (with optional modules), making it ideal for multiplex fluorescent Western blots.
- Is the auto-focus reliable? The motorized F0.95 lens ensures perfect focus every time, with an optional F0.8 lens available for ultra-low-light applications.
Advantages & Practical Considerations:
This imager’s all-in-one capabilities eliminate the need for multiple devices, saving both bench space and budget. The sCMOS technology offers wider dynamic range than traditional CCDs, though some users may need time to master the software’s advanced features. The fixed tray system ensures consistent positioning, while the optional blue LED module expands applications to DNA staining with safer alternatives to EtBr. For core facilities running diverse applications, its versatility and performance make it a future-proof investment.
