Good balance of capability, ease of use and value for the money
Document and analyze stained and fluorescent gels and blots
We use the instrument primarily to document protein and nucleic acid gels, both color-stained and fluorescent. It works very well so far. Auto-focus, Auto-exposure, and Area of interest functions allow you to achieve much-needed reproducibility as evidenced by calibration curves and internal standards. Easy to use enough for a multi-user setup. Analysis software is a bit primitive but is fine for our low throughput environment. All-in-all it’s a good balance of capability, ease of use, and value for the money.

Experience an easier time capturing and analyzing data from gels and western blots with Invitrogen™ iBright™ Imaging Systems. Designed with a streamlined, intuitive interface and workflows, iBright Imaging Systems are easy to use for researchers of all experience levels.
There are three models in the iBright Imaging Systems family: The base model Invitrogen™ iBright™ CL750 Imaging System, the mid-level model Invitrogen™ iBright™ CL1500 Imaging System, and the premier Invitrogen™ iBright™ FL1500 Imaging System.
The iBright CL1500 Imaging System has four imaging modes to support data capture from colorimetric-stained protein gels, fluorescent-stained protein gels, fluorescent-stained nucleic acid gels, chemiluminescent western blots, colorimetric stained membranes, colorimetric western blots, and more.
Features of the iBright CL1500 Imaging System:
- 9.1 MP cooled CCD camera—high sensitivity and dynamic range to help enable the detection of subtle differences in samples
- Smart Exposure technology—provides rapid determination of optimal exposure time to help minimize the need to repeat exposures to acquire the desired signal
- Advanced automated features—automatic sample rotation, automatic zoom, automatic focus, and automatic onboard data analysis provide a smooth imaging experience
- Simple interface—clear layout of functions and features combined with a 12.1-inch capacitive touchscreen for a smooth imaging experience
- 22.5 x 18.0-cm field of view—large field of view for high-throughput imaging (image up to four mini or two midi blots at a time)
- Green LED-based transilluminator—effectively excite popular DNA dyes such as ethidium bromide and SYBR Green dyes with an alternative to UV-based transilluminators
- Flexible connectivity—export captured images via ethernet connection, Wi-Fi (with optional accessory), USB, or directly to our Connect cloud-based platform
- Multiple data analysis workflows—perform molecular weight estimation, densitometry, relative quantitation, and normalization via our on-instrument analysis software, or for more convenience and in-depth image adjustment and data analysis capabilities, we offer stand-alone Invitrogen™ iBright™ Analysis Software available in both desktop and cloud-based versions
- Compliance support—offered with a 21 CFR Part 11 compliance support software package to set up and control security, audit, and e-signature settings
