Gel Doc Image Capture Software - VWR Gel Documentation Imager2 Instruction Manual

Gel Doc Image Capture Software

The Gel Doc image capture software runs in a standard Windows environment and provides an application
driven and time-saving workflow for running a variety of life-science applications.
The basic Imager2 Instrument is controlled and operated by the Gel Doc software running on an external
PC operating a standard Microsoft Windows environment. Two cable connections are required between the
PC and the Imager2 Instrument; one for the Darkroom, and one for the Camera.
The raw data recorded by the digital camera is processed by the Gel Doc image capture software to
generate the images and technical files which are the Imager2 Instrument's basic outputs.
The Gel doc image capture software provides both automatic and manual modes of control of the Imager2
hardware and has an inbuilt database of application specific data which it uses in automatic capture mode
to optimise the hardware configuration in order to obtain the optimal sample image. The database contains
information relating to:

Sample format; Gel, Blot, Other

Blot type; Chemiluminescence, Fluorescence, Visible

Sample type; Protein, DNA, RNA

Matrix type; Acrylamide, Agarose
