CCMAR has acquired a gel imager documentation system "Azure Biosystems 600" in the context of the EMBRC project. This instrument will reinforce the capacity of the protein and biodiscovery pipeline – ProtMar and the CCMAR scientific community in general. Its applications include, collection and analysis of high resolution digital images from experimental work such as: the separation of biomolecules via agarose or polyacrylamide gels; western-blotting; in-cell western assays; protein arrays. The equipment allows different image acquisition modes (UV, fluorescence, colorimetric, chemiluminescent and bioluminescent) and operates from UV to near infra red (IR). This equipment is able to do multiplex fluorescent imaging and acquire images of up to 20cm x 16cm (equivalent to 4 mimigels/miniblots).
