AUTO-CALIBRATING SCANNERS
The Bio Image ACS-5000 and ACS-6000 combine a
versatile Microtek scanner with our industry
proven Intelligent Quantifier®, Advanced
Quantifier™, or Intelligent Quantifier-11™
software, to make a system which quickly and
accurately analyzes your samples.

Accurate quantitation and analysis across a broad range
of samples.
Every scan is automatically calibrated to an NIST
certified step tablet. And you can include an image of
the tablet with your sample, to insure compliant
documentation for regulated applications. Both scanners
operate across the entire visible spectrum (400-750 nm),
so can be optimized for color stains like Coomassie Blue
or silver stain, and their 4.0 Dmax dynamic range means
accurate quantitation even in dark areas.
With both transmissive and reflective
modes, whether you have wet or dried gels,
autoradiograms or films, membranes, or dot/slot blots,
Bio Image scanners are ready for your samples.

There’s another auto-calibrating scanner
out there. You probably know that. After
all, their name starts with “Bio”, too.

Their calibration strip is affixed
to the underside of the platen. At
first, this is great – it certainly is
protected from wet gels or spills. But
NIST states: “The optical densities of
these step tablets may change over
time.” [NIST Report of Calibration
38120C Diffuse Transmittance]. What do
you do then?
Bio Image calibration strips are
both sealed to keep them free of any
contamination, and behind a liquid-tight
dam which surrounds the sample. So with
our scanners, you simply order a new
strip, and start using it. |
