Chemiluminescence - Chemi-Smart 3000

The Chemi-Smart 3000 is an image acquisition system for the capture of chemiluminescence and fluorescence gel images. Using the most advanced cooled CCD technology in combination with a motorized zoom, the Chemi-Smart 3000 offers the power of high sensitivity for multiple applications.

The unique darkroom is equipped with our exclusive double cooling barrier for enhanced signal to noise ratio.

Together with Bio-Profil software, Chemi-Smart 3000 forms a complete and powerful system for quantification and documentation.
