    DEDICATED

    CHEMILUMINESCENCE
    IMAGING SYSTEM

    DELIVERS SIMPLICITY
    AND SENSITIVITY
    COMBINING SIMPLICITY
    WITH SENSITIVITY
    Despite chemiluminescence blotting being
    a widely used technique to separate and
    detect proteins, at Syngene we know that
    when you’re imaging Westerns you are
    looking for sensitivity equal to film.
    Using the knowledge of chemiluminescence imaging that we’ve acquired over 35 years, we’ve
    developed the GeneGnome XRQ dedicated chemiluminescence imaging system, allowing you to
    easily produce picture perfect Westerns every time.

    SIMPLE
    Built on Syngene’s unique GeneGnome system, GeneGnome XRQ has an optimized short ‘camera to
    sample’ distance, making it easy for you to perform rapid chemiluminescence imaging.

    SENSITIVE
    Featuring a high quantum efficiency, cooled CCD camera, GeneGnome XRQ ensures you can see faint
    bands with minimal background on your blot images.

    SMALL
    The compact GeneGnome XRQ takes up minimal bench space,
    allowing you more room for your experiments.

    “WESTERN BLOT IMAGING
    HAS NEVER BEEN SO EASY”
    UNIQUE
    GENEGNOME
    SYSTEM

    ADVANCED LENS
    Great imaging starts with a great
    lens and this F/0.95 fixed focus lens
    gives optimum image quality.

    HIGH QUANTUM
    EFFICIENCY CAMERA
    The 4-megapixel resolution CCD
    camera is very sensitive to low level
    light emissions, producing images
    of up to 16m pixels, allowing you to
    see and separate those faint, close
    bands on blots up to 11cm x 8cm.
    The GeneGnome XRQ camera has
    double the dynamic range of film
    and with a quantum efficiency of
    greater than 73% @ 425nm gives
    outstanding sensitivity for
    chemiluminescence imaging.

    SUPER LOW COOLING


    Peltier cooling with exceptional
    signal to noise performance lets
    you have long exposure times.
    You can detect your weak and
    strong chemiluminescent bands on
    one crisp image, without any
    annoying background noise.

    WHITE LIGHT
    To position your blots and detect
    coloured markers, the GeneGnome
    XRQ comes with overhead long-life
    white LED EPI lighting.

    SLIDE-OUT DRAWER
    The automatic slide-out drawer
    gives you more bench space and
    allows you to easily position your
    blot. Its magnetic lock ensures
    that the darkroom is completely
    light-tight, resulting in perfect
    image capture every time.

    PC CONTROL
    GeneGnome XRQ easily integrates
    to your choice of PC and printer
    giving you the flexibility to run the
    GeneSys touch screen controls on a
    large screen, store a huge library of
    images and rapidly print low
    resolution or publication quality
    pictures.
    GENESYS
    LOAD AND GO
    IMAGING

    Using GeneSys capture software, you can set up the GeneGnome XRQ to do single
    auto-capture, series capture or manual capture of your Westerns to generate your
    choice of one or a series of timed images.

    BRIGHTER WESTERNS
    When you’re imaging low light chemiluminescence Westerns you can use the GeneSys
    binning feature to reduce exposure times. Binning combines pixels into larger formats
    to produce a super pixel which collects more light, increasing sensitivity or speeding
    up your image capture time.

    PICTURE PERFECT
    To produce a publication ready picture of your Westerns you simply choose
    high-resolution images in the GeneSys software effective resolution settings.
    You can even generate images of colorimetric molecular weight markers alongside
    your chemiluminescent bands as GeneSys allows you to automatically overlay them on
    your Western images.

    FAST IMAGE ANALYSIS


    The GeneGnome XRQ comes with GeneTools image analysis software which you can
    use for applications such as automatically calculating molecular weight and relative
    quantitation of protein bands. Using GeneTools you can also make your own image
    edits and your data is easily saved as image files or can be exported to Microsoft
    Excel and Word.

    APPLICATIONS
    A Western blot of diluted transferrin was prepared on a PVDF membrane.
    The membrane was treated with SERVA Light Vega chemiluminescence substrate and
    imaged using GeneGnome XRQ system.

    Exposure time of
    3 minutes was used.
    Antibodies used: Prim AB
    anti-trasferrin 1:1000
    Sek AB anti-human 1:2000
    0.01 µg/µl, 5 ng/µl, 2 ng/µl;
    0.1 ng/µl; 0.05 ng/µl;
    0.02 ng/µl; 0.01 ng/µl

    Simultaneous imaging
    of your chemiluminescent
    blot and coloured
    molecular weight
    markers. Images are
    captured separately and
    then overlaid automatically
    using GeneSys software
