Modes
Invitrogen ™ iBright ™ Imaging Systems allow users to image in a mode specific to a sample type. Each mode is optimized to produce a high quality
image for further analysis and data collection.
Chemi Blots
Mode to image chemiluminescent Western blots.
Fluorescent Blots (FL1500 model only)
Mode to image fluorescent Western blots using a single channel or up to 4 channels using excitation wavelengths of 455-485 nm, 515-545 nm,
610-635 nm, 610-660 nm, and 750-768 nm with corresponding emission wavelengths of 510-555 nm, 565-615 nm, 675-720 nm, 710-730 nm, and
800-850 nm.
Nucleic Acid Gels
Mode to image DNA and RNA gels stained with fluorescent nucleic acid stains such as Ethidium Bromide, SYBR
™
SYBR Gold and similar products.
Protein Gels (Protein Visible and Protein Fluorescence)
Mode to image visible, stained protein gels (using white screen) and fluorescent, stained, or labeled protein gels.
Note: Do not use the white screen for protein fluorescence.
Note: Stained or labeled protein on nitrocellulose or PVDF membrane should be imaged using Universal mode.
Universal
Mode to image samples containing multiple signals, such as chemiluminescence, fluorescence, and/or colorimetric stains. Image display is similar
to Fluorescent Blots and allows you to assign false color to any sample.
