ENDURO™ GDS II Gel Documentation System - GDS II & GDS Touch II

Product Features

• Region of interest (ROI) function allows optimal exposure in less than 30 seconds. No more multiple exposures to get good images!
• Transilluminator good for 30,000 hours so you won't need to buy replacement UV bulbs
• Save photo files as jpeg or 16bit Tiff files ideal for publication
• Made in U.S.A.
• Included fully-featured qualitative software ideal for creating publication and notebook-quality images

ENDURO™ GDS II Applications

• Visible protein stains like Coomassie blue or silver stain
• Designed for DNA
• Ethidium bromide
• Safe Dyes such as GelGreen® and SYBR™ Safe

ENDURO™ GDS II and GDS Touch II are the next-generation Gel Documentation Systems from Labnet International. These gel documentation systems are used for visualization of DNA and protein stained within a gel and provide photo documentation of these gels in a laboratory setting.

The GDS II comes in either a 302nm or 365nm version and runs on a Windows-based PC (not included).

The GDS Touch II comes in either a 302nm or 365nm wavelength version with 470nm epi-blue lights for use with Safe Dyes that eliminate the need for ethium bromide.

Both versions now come with a storage location on top to help maximize bench space and provide a place for accessories.

SmartDoc™ 2.0 Imaging System

• Imaging enclosure works with all common smartphones
• System includes blue light illumination base, orange viewing cover, and orange photo filter
• Ideal for common safe stains (SmartGlow™, SYBR Green, GelGreen™, etc.)
• Visible blue light will not damage DNA
• Gel viewing and gel access for DNA band cutting
• Optional amber viewing glasses, for band excising
• Imaging enclosure can also be used on existing transilluminators

Introducing the SmartDoc™ 2.0 (Item no. E5001-SDB). This complete system has been developed for safely viewing nucleic acids in agarose gels and for capturing quality digital images with a smartphone camera.  Blue light is used instead of UV, which is safer for lab personnel and will not damage DNA samples.

The SmartDoc Imaging Enclosure can also be purchased separately (item no. E5000-SD) without the blue light illumination base.  The enclosure by itself can be used on most existing UV transilluminators or blue light transilluminators for smart phone imaging.

The illumination base emits an intense blue light with a peak output of 460 nm for optimum excitation of nucleic acids stained with green fluorescent dyes (SYBR® Green, SmartGlow™, GelStar™, GelGreen™, etc). The orange cover fits on top of the illumination base and acts as a filter to absorb blue light, allowing visualization of the fluorescing samples. The cover can also be set at an angle for gel access and cutting out DNA bands for further study.

The SmartDoc™ imaging enclosure includes an orange photo filter for photography of the gels with a smartphone. An extending adapter can be inserted for full dimension imaging of gels up to 15 x 15 cm or removed for close-up pictures. The enclosure can also be used directly on any other existing UV or blue light transilluminator.  Additional filters are available for imaging gels on a UV transilluminator.  Please see our “Filter and User Guide” to show which filter is best for different imaging applications.

Optional SmartBlue™ Plus Viewing Glasses

Accuris™ SmartBlue™ Plus Viewing Glasses offer exceptional protection for researchers working with bright blue LED and UV light illuminators. The polycarbonate filter lenses are shatter proof, scratch resistant and block light in the UV (280 nm) to blue (490 nm) wavelengths. In addition, they are compliant with ANSI Z87.1.
 

These glasses are ideal for general protection when working with hazardous wavelengths and for precision DNA band cutting on a UV or blue light transilluminator. While blocking hazardous UV and blue light, the glasses allow clear visualization of DNA bands stained with Ethidium Bromide, SmartGlow™, SYBR Green and other fluorescent dyes. 

*Always wear appropriate UV protection for eyes and exposed skin when working with UV light sources
