Chemi Doc

The chemiDoc is a compact and chemiluminescent-capable gel/blot imaging instrument. It automates the process of selecting blot detection parameters and acquires high-quality and high sensitivity gel and western images. You interact with the instrument via either computer software (Room 312) or an integrated touch screen (room 451). Position the sample on the sample tray, choose the image acquisition presets and acquire the image by tapping a button. The instrument uses a supersensitive camera with a charge coupled device (CCD) and a large maximum-aperture lens that provides high chemiluminescent sensitivity. The imager has a built-in UV Tran illuminator and white LEDs for epi (reflective) illumination. Please check below the rules that are implemented in order to avoid problems to the instrument:

Spilled buffer (and with big quantity) from the trans illuminator to the drawer may cause a serious problems in the instrument
It is recommended to take only 3 to 5 images at most in the signal accumulation mode because taking more images will give a low sensitive images with background too high
Clean the trans illuminator sample area after use
If the liquid was spilled out of the UV trans illuminator the instrument should be turned off immediately and inform the custodian
It is recommended to use the ChemiDoc system for Protein gels and blots
For agarose gels use the Gel doc at the 4th floor utility room 453
The reservation time at rush hours (10:00 am till 4:30 pm) is 1 hour for each lab
You can reserve more than 1 hour at happy hours before 10:00 am and after 4:30 pm

Hours of operation: 8am- 5pm
