Molecular imaging system developer Gamma Medica-Ideas of Northridge, CA, in conjunction with Biomolex of Oslo, Norway, has released the Biomolex 700 Direct Digital Imager, a device for imaging radiolabeled genomic microarrays, proteomic microarrays, and tissue sections.
The product can achieve an image resolution of less than 50 microns, and its silicon-based detector can convert each emitted photon within its 3 cm x 6 cm field-of-view into an imaging signal, according to the firm. The result of the direct detection technology is that researchers can achieve quantification of radioisotope uptake for all common beta emitters -- 14C, 35S, 33P, 32P, and others, the company said.
The Biomolex 700 also features the capability for real-time image viewing, which allows investigators to monitor experiments as they progress and conduct preliminary image analyses without interrupting image acquisitions, Gamma Medica-Ideas said.
