Typhoon 8600 Variable Mode Imager, Molecular Dynamics (CAT#: STEM-GLEPO-1392-ZJF)

The Typhoon 8600 Variable Mode Imager is manufactured by Molecular Dynamics.
The Typhoon 8600 Variable Mode Imager storage phosphor autoradiography technology with four color fluorescent labelling techniques provides maximum data quality in a single, high-throughput system. For DNA, RNA, and protein samples, users can choose from:
storage phosphor autoradiography
direct green excited fluorescence
direct red excited fluorescence
chemiluminescence
When one of the four scanning modes is selected, the appropriate optical components are automatically activated. Typhoon scans mounted and unmounted storage phosphor screens, plus gels and blots up to 35 × 43 cm. Typhoon exhibits outstanding linearity and quantitative accuracy and includes ImageQuant image analysis software.
Fully re-furbished, calibrated to manufacturer standard.
