Description

The Chemiluminescence Imager (Mini) YG1704 / YG1705 is a compact yet powerful imaging solution designed specifically for high-sensitivity chemiluminescence detection, making it ideal for Western blot analysis with ECL. Equipped with a cooled CCD camera (6MP, 16-bit depth) and an ultra-sensitive lens (F0.95 or F0.8, depending on the model), this system delivers crisp, high-resolution images with a dynamic range ≥4.6OD, ensuring accurate quantification of even faint bands. Its deep cooling capability (-60°C below ambient) minimizes noise, while the unlimited, dongle-free software allows seamless operation across multiple workstations with free lifetime updates. Priced competitively within the mid-to-high range for lab imaging systems, it offers exceptional value for researchers who demand reliability without sacrificing performance.

Frequently Asked Questions:

• What’s the difference between YG1704 / YG1705? The YG1704 features an ultra-sensitive F0.8 lens for even lower detection limits, while the YG1705 uses an F0.95 lens.
• Is the software really free forever? Yes—no dongles, no user limits, and updates are included.
• How does it compare to larger imagers? Its compact size saves lab space, but it retains pro-grade specs like -30°C regulated cooling and 65536 grey scales.

Advantages & Considerations:

This imager’s plug-and-play ease and low-light sensitivity make it a standout for ECL-based workflows, though labs needing multiplex fluorescence may require additional modules. Users praise its intuitive software, but the cooling fan noise (typical for CCD systems) may require placement in a dedicated space. For academic labs, CROs, or biotech teams, it’s a cost-effective alternative to bulkier systems.

Real-World Use & Recommendations:

In the field, the YG1704 / YG1705 excels in daily Western blot imaging, with researchers reporting consistent reproducibility for publications. To maximize performance, calibrate regularly and store the camera in low-humidity conditions. Pair it with high-quality ECL substrates for optimal signal-to-noise ratios.
