Optix<br />

Illumination<br />

Module<br />

The Optix module is a patented epiillumination<br />

option for ULTima Pro; for<br />

the excitation of fluorophores within<br />

the VIS/NIR range. When Optix is used<br />

for ethidium bromide stained gels, it<br />

offers the following advantages:<br />

DNA remains intact for applications<br />

downstream.<br />

Lower background means higher<br />

detection limits.<br />

Selection of excitation wavelength is<br />

fully computer controlled and, in<br />

combination with the automatic<br />

emission filter changer, true multi<br />

fluorophore capability is achieved.<br />

Multiple images with different<br />

excitation/emission filter sets allow<br />

the detection of multiple<br />

fluorophores within the same<br />

sample. The Optix can<br />

accommodate a maximum of five<br />

different excitation filter sets. The<br />

Optix module can be added to all<br />

models of the ULTima line.<br />

Applications that are possible with<br />

the addition of the Optix module<br />

include: CyDye imaging, array<br />

detection, in vivo GFP detection and<br />

GFP tissue and organ screening.<br />

Software<br />

Select the software that best meets your needs by your area of work below:<br />

Molecular Weight Calibration<br />

The TL 100 and TL 120 versions both enable precise molecular weight determination of<br />

band material from a variety of 1D gels. TL 120 contains tools which allow increased<br />

control over calibration for particularly distorted 1D gel images.<br />

Quantitation and Normalization of Band Material<br />

The TL 100 and TL 120 software solutions both contain a complete range of tools to<br />

quantify band material and for the calculation of normalized band volumes. For in-depth<br />

quantitative studies, the advanced features in TL 120 offer a higher degree of flexibility<br />

and facilitate accurate quantitation of bands on more problematic 1D gel images.<br />

Lane Relationship Studies<br />

The TL 120 software has a powerful band matching facility which is flexible yet easy to<br />

use. There are tools available to visualize the results of matching and identify similarities<br />

within a single gel. When you have performed intra gel matching, lanes can be classified<br />

and identified.<br />

TL 100<br />

Entry level software<br />

for fast, consistent<br />

analysis.<br />

TL 120<br />

For an in-depth and<br />

accurate automatic<br />

analysis of 1D gels<br />

and band pattern<br />

matching studies.<br />

The TotalLab analysis software provides a complete set of tools for<br />

fast, accurate and easy analysis of images from the ULTima for<br />

molecular weight determination, sample quantitation, arrays, dot<br />

blot/slot blot analysis and colony counting.<br />
