Description
The Multifunctional Imager YG1709 and YG1710 represent the next generation of gel documentation systems, combining visible light (RGB), far-red/near-infrared fluorescence (FR/NIR), and chemiluminescence detection in one powerful device. Featuring super-sensitive cooled digital cameras with resolutions up to 20MP (YG1710), these imagers deliver crystal-clear, publication-ready images with 16-bit depth and 65,536 gray scales. The innovative electronic lifting platform automatically adjusts to optimal height for any sample size, while the motorized lens eliminates manual focusing errors. With UV (302nm) and white LED transmission plates, plus unlimited-user software that requires no dongles and receives free updates, these systems are ideal for high-throughput labs needing reliable, versatile imaging. They offer exceptional value for their sensitivity (detecting ≤5pg DNA) and 20,000-program storage capacity. Ready to upgrade your lab’s imaging capabilities?

Key Questions Answered
• What’s the difference between YG1709 and YG1710? The YG1710 offers 4x higher resolution (20MP vs 5MP) and doubled sensitivity for low-abundance samples.
• Can it image large gels or membranes? Yes – the 21x26cm UV area and 19x26cm LED area accommodate most standard and mini gels.
• Is the removable PC worth adding? Absolutely – it future-proofs your system by allowing easy hardware upgrades and reduces downtime if repairs are needed.
Why Labs Choose These Imagers
Advantages:
- All-in-one detection – Replace multiple devices with a single platform for RGB, fluorescence, and chemiluminescence
- Zero licensing fees – Unlimited users and free software updates cut long-term costs
