Redefining Western blot imaging standards
See more, 100x more sensitive.
This innovative design eliminates many bottlenecks of traditional Cooled CCD camera imaging
The sensitivity of a western blot imager is primarily determined by its ability to collect as many photons as possible from the blot and convert them into a strong, quantifiable signal while minimizing noise.
As shown in the image on the left, the new imaging technology removes any lens for imaging, thus eliminates image distortion caused by the lens.
The western film is directly attached to the photosensor chip for imaging, all signals are captured without any light loss, which greatly improves the sensitivity and speed of imaging.
Measure everything, 100x wider range
The sensor chip size impact overall signal collection. A larger chip can capture the signal from a wider area of the blot, which can improve the overall dynamic range and reduce the need for multiple captures or scanning. The Signal-Direct imager's large 168cm sensor captures the entire blot at once, avoiding the signal loss and artifacts that can occur with scanning smaller areas. In contrast, the Cooled CMOS camera's 4.0cm sensor is much smaller, which may require multiple images to be stitched together to capture a full blot.
The larger pixel area of the Signal-Direct Imager allows it to capture a significantly higher number of photons from the same signal source compared to a much smaller pixel on a standard CCD chip.
The Signal-Direct Imager pixel area (100μm×100μm) is approximately 277 to 1111 times larger than the Cooled CCD pixel area (3 to 6 μm). This means it can collect hundreds to over a thousand times more photons, directly translating to a proportional increase in sensitivity.
