Introduction
The Gel Doc™ EZ imaging system consists of the Gel Doc EZ imager and
Image Lab™ software. The imager connects to a separate computer running Image
Lab. This combination creates an automated system for imaging and analyzing gels
and blots. Data can be viewed, modified, and reported using Image Lab software.
The Gel Doc EZ imaging system supports multiple applications, including
Coomassie and ethidium bromide staining, blue excitation for nondestructive DNA
visualization, and stain-free gel and blot imaging.
Image Lab protocols automate sample image acquisition, analysis, and report
generation with the push of a button on the imager.
For complete information about Image Lab software, see the Image Lab Software
User Guide.
Gel Doc EZ Imaging System
The Gel Doc EZ imager combines a low-noise detection camera with a UV
transilluminator-based system. Place a sample on one of four application-specific
trays, then push the green Run button on the front of the imager to start the default
protocol and image the sample using Image Lab.
