INSIDE DELIVERY SERVICE, USA IS1005 THIS SERVICE INCLUDES DELIVERY OF EQUIPMENT TO THE END USER LAB, INCLUDING UNCRATING, LIFTING TO BENCHTOP IF NECESSARY AND REMOVAL OF ALL PACKAGING

Salient Characteristics:

The system must have four spectrally separated solid state lasers to detect fluorescent (visible through NIR) labeled conjugates and stains.

The system must have the following required detection methods: Photomultiplier tube (PMT), Avalanche Photodiode (APD), Charge-Coupled Device (CCD), Chemiluminescent Module, Phosphor Imaging Module.

The Phosphor imaging module must accomplish filmless autoradiography of thin-layer chromatography plates, membranes, tissue sections, etc.

The system must accomplish simultaneous visible and near infrared (NIR) detection and quantification of four targets within the same experiment.

The system must provide quantitation of simultaneously imaged target through use of normalization to a user-directed channel.

The system must provide proven femtogram detection in chemiluminescent and fluorescent applications

The system must not use / require film

The system must be amenable to multiple assays types to include, but not limited to, the following: Western blot analysis, EMSA, protein arrays, in cell or on cell western, ELISA, Coomassie gel and other visible gel and membrane stain documentation, DNA gel documentation, Northern and Southern blots and tissue section analysis.

The system must be able to provide at least a minimum pixel resolution of 10 microns.

The system must provide a minimum scan speed of 50 cm/ sec

The system must be able to image 4 channel fluorescence 8x10 cm blot at 100um resolution in 6.6 min.

The system must provide each separate fluorescent channel with its own dedicated and optimized laser excitation and emission detection system

The system must provide the following minimum laser diode excitation sources: 488 nm + 3nm, 520nm + 3nm, 658 + 3nm, and 784nm + 3nm

The detection system of Green 565BP24, Red 710BP40, and IR 832BP37 channels must be based on single point detection by Avalanche Photodiodes (APDs) to ensure high quantum efficiency of detected signal.

The detection system of Blue 518BP22 channel must be by the means Photomultiplier tube (PMT), for high internal gain amplification

The detection of phosphor imaging signal must be by the means Photomultiplier tube (PMT), for high international gain amplification

The laser lifetime must exceed 40,000 hours of operation time before failure.

The system must accomplish a linear dynamic detection range of at least 5 orders of magnitude

The system dynamic range must be at least 6 logs

The system must provide data output in at least 16 bit TIFF file for each channel of detection

The system must use a 6.1MP cooled CCD camera or better.

The system must provide a minimum of 60µm imaging for chemiluminescent applications.

The system must provide lens optics of F0.95 for fast imaging
