The DigiGenius offers reproducible, high resolution digital images for gel documentation (gel doc). The system is easy to use and allows you to capture and view images directly on your PC.
DigiGenius gel documentation (gel doc) system is ideal if you have a limited budget because you can purchase the basic system and then add a UV transilluminator, white light table or conversion screen, safety hood, mini darkroom and printer, as well as Syngene’s industry leading GeneTools analysis software, as the need arises.
