BioSpectrumAC Imaging System

The BioSpectrumAC Imaging System (formerly AC1 AutoChemi) is designed to automate your research with one-touch, pre-set or user-defined PC controls for accurate, repeatable gel imaging and analysis plus chemiluminescence, bioluminescence and colorimetric imaging.

The BioSpectrumAC automated system offers software control of darkroom and camera settings through the system's computer. Systems easily perform the routine imaging and analysis of DNA and protein gels as well as colony counting. Methods for all applications can be stored and recalled for immediate use. Specially developed image capture routines, such as dynamic and sequential Integration, guarantee perfect exposures.
