The ChemiDoc Go Imaging System has been developed by Bio-Rad Laboratories as the newest addition to its ChemiDoc Imaging Systems lineup. The system is designed for rapid, reliable and highly sensitive imaging of gels and western blots, all in a compact benchtop format.

The device features advanced complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) digital imaging technology, capturing gel and western blot images with the same high sensitivity as larger, more expensive instruments. This compact, user-friendly imager supports chemiluminescence and fluorescence detection,Source: Bio-Rad Laboratories including the use of StarBright Dyes. Additionally, its three versatile sample trays accommodate a wide range of applications, from nucleic acid to protein quantitation through various detection methods. The system's all-LED illumination enhances instrument durability and reduces maintenance needs, ensuring consistent and reliable performance over time.

Traditionally, western blot experiments require additional steps for normalization using housekeeping proteins, which involves time-consuming and costly protocols. The ChemiDoc Go Imaging System offers an alternative with stain-free Imaging technology, simplifying the workflow and providing quality control at every stage. The system is also compatible with Bio-Rad’s BR.io cloud-based platform, offering image storage and enhanced data accessibility.
