Description

Meet the Mini Multifunctional Imager YG1707 / YG1708 – the world’s most compact yet powerful imaging solution that combines chemiluminescence, fluorescence, and gel documentation in one sleek package. Despite its small footprint, this system delivers professional-grade performance with high-sensitivity detection for Western blots (ECL), fluorescent samples, and small gels (≤9×7.3cm). The YG1708 model stands out with extended exposure capability (up to 1 hour), perfect for capturing faint bands in low-abundance targets. Both models feature UV/white light transmission and optional blue LED/RGB modules, while the removable industrial PC (10.1″ touch screen, Intel processor) offers superior processing power compared to traditional embedded systems. With unlimited-user software and plug-and-play operation, it’s ideal for space-constrained labs that need big performance in a small package. Priced competitively in the mid-range segment, it’s a smart investment for core facilities and individual researchers alike.

Frequently Asked Questions:

• What’s the difference between YG1707 and YG1708? The YG1708 offers longer exposure times (up to 1 hour vs. 30 minutes) for ultra-sensitive detection.
• Can it handle standard gel sizes? It’s optimized for mini-gels (≤9×7.3cm) – perfect for quick checks but consider larger systems for full-size gels.
• Is the removable computer worth it? Absolutely – it provides faster processing, easier upgrades, and avoids obsolescence of embedded systems.

Advantages & Trade-Offs:

This imager’s tiny size (about 50% smaller than conventional systems) makes it perfect for crowded lab benches or fieldwork, while still delivering publication-quality results. The all-in-one design eliminates the need for multiple devices, though the small gel area may require adaptation for some protocols. Users love the intuitive touchscreen interface, but those needing high-throughput screening might prefer larger systems.

Real-World Performance & Pro Tips:

In daily use, researchers find the YG1707/YG1708 excels at:
• Quick Western blot verification with ECL
• Fluorescent tag detection for small samples
• Teaching labs where space is limited
For best results:
• Use the optional blue LED for safer DNA staining
• Calibrate monthly for consistent sensitivity
• Consider the fluorescent module for versatile detection
