What types of gels can this system image?

This system is primarily designed for imaging nucleic acid gels (e.g., agarose gels stained with ethidium bromide or SYBR Green) and protein gels (e.g., Coomassie-stained or silver-stained polyacrylamide gels).

Does it come with software?

As a used unit, any original software media found with the system is included as a courtesy. However, buyers are responsible for all software licensing, registration, and workstation compatibility.

Is this unit suitable for quantitative analysis?

Yes, BioDoc-It systems are typically equipped with software features that allow for basic quantitative analysis, such as band densitometry and molecular weight determination.

What maintenance does a unit like this require?

Routine maintenance typically involves cleaning the transilluminator surface and camera lens, and periodic checks of UV lamp function. UV lamps have a finite lifespan and will require replacement over time.

Can I use my existing computer with this system?

Compatibility depends on the specific software version and operating system requirements. Buyers should verify workstation compatibility with the manufacturer's specifications for the BioDoc-It model.
