Description

The Gel Documentation System YG1706 redefines lab efficiency with its space-saving design and advanced imaging capabilities. This all-in-one system features a high-sensitivity 6.3MP camera with 97% quantum efficiency and 16-bit resolution (65,536 grey scales), ensuring crystal-clear documentation of DNA, RNA, protein gels, and fluorescent samples. Its standout removable industrial computer (10.1″ touch screen, Intel processor) offers superior processing power compared to traditional embedded PADs, while the F1.2 motorized lens eliminates manual focusing errors. With standard blue LED transmission and optional UV/RGB/fluorescent modules, it adapts to diverse research needs. The intuitive SHST software supports unlimited users—perfect for collaborative labs. Priced competitively in the mid-range segment, it delivers premium features without the premium footprint, making it ideal for space-constrained labs that refuse to compromise on quality.

Frequently Asked Questions:

• What makes the removable computer better than embedded PADs? It offers faster processing, easier upgrades, and simpler repairs—extending your system’s lifespan.
• Can it image both proteins and nucleic acids? Yes! The adjustable UV/blue/white illumination handles SDS-PAGE, agarose gels, and fluorescent Western blots.
• Is the fluorescent module worth adding? Absolutely—it expands your applications to include SYBR Safe, EtBr alternatives, and fluorescent tags.

Advantages & Considerations:

This system’s compact size (40% smaller than conventional gel docs) saves precious bench space, while the motorized lens ensures perfect focus every time. The blue LED standard illumination reduces photobleaching versus UV, though some users may initially need training on the software’s advanced features. For core facilities or teaching labs, its user-friendly interface and modular design make it a future-proof investment.

Real-World Performance & Pro Tips:

In daily use, researchers report the YG1706 excels at quick PCR checks, protein quantification, and educational demonstrations. To maximize results:
• Use the blue LED for safer operation with DNA stains like GelRed
• Clean the lens monthly with microfiber to maintain sensitivity
• Explore optional epi-UV for superior fluorescent blot imaging
