Biometra Launches New Gel Documentation System "BDAdigital"

Biometra GmbH, a Company of Analytik Jena Group, will launch the successor of the popular BDAdigital gel documentation system this month (October 2011). The new system has a digital single reflex camera with a high resolution of 12.2 megapixels and the possibility to acquire colour as well as grey-scale images. The specifically adapted image acquisition software is designed to offer several benefits including easy optimization of parameters with the help of the live preview camera.

For recurrent exposures the parameters can be stored as individual profiles and future exposures are performed with "one touch". The new design allows the autofocus to be triggered by the software in addition to the manual focus. Thus gels with diffuse bands can also be perfectly documented with full focus.

Analysis of the gels with the upgraded BioDocAnalyze analysis software is completed by automatic detections and calculations with a few mouse-clicks. In addition to the camera, bandpass filter and the software either the reasonably priced, small hood "BDA Hood" or the advanced darkhood "BDA Box" with sliding door comes with BDAdigital. A unique anti-theft protection for the attractive camera is included with every darkhood. A wide choice of UV transilluminators in different versions offer the right solution for every application. According to the respective requirements BDAdigital is available in modules for combination with existing laboratory components or as complete "plug-and-play" system including computer and printer.
