Chemiluminescence requires a superior
imaging system.
These
intrinsic chemical reactions generate far less
light than samples treated with fluorescent
labels. Detection of low light levels requires
long exposure times, but these can lead to
thermal noise as the electronic components of
the camera heat up. The Bio Image Chemi-285 has
a two-stage Peltier-cooled camera, cooled to
-45°C, with exposure times up to one hour. Our
two-shelf imaging cabinet is designed and
engineered to provide a light tight environment.

You
want simple, yet powerful, software.
Bio Image Intelligent Quantifier® software is used by
thousands of researchers across the world every day to
provide accurate quantitation and analysis. The software
is intuitive and easy to use, with built-in automation
and workflow tools so you can quickly define protocols
and run them easily and repetitively, even with long
exposures and with difficult samples.
Chemiluminescence is
becoming a standard technique in the
life science laboratory, but it requires
precision engineering and experience to
acquire outstanding images and
analytical results. Our new Bio Image
Chemi-285 system provides you with the
analytical performance and flexibility
by integrating a modern cooled CCD with
an optically isolated environment and
world beating software.

About the chemiluminescence process
Chemiluminescence generates light by
an intrinsic chemical reaction within a
sample.
Alkaline phosphatase is a hydrolase
enzyme which removes phosphate groups
from many types of molecules, including
nucleotids, proteins, and alkaloids.
This process is called
dephosphorylation. With the CDP-Star®
kit, dephosphorylation removes
1,2-dioxetane compounds to generate
light.
Horse Radish
peroxidase (HRP) catalyzes the oxidation of luminol to
3-aminophthalate, producing low-intensity light emission
at 428nm. Enhanced Chemiluminescence (ECL) kits can
enhance the light emitted by up to 1000-fold. ECL kits
are simple to set up and use, and have high sensitivity.
