MOLECULAR DYNAMICS (GE) Typhoon 9410 high performance gel and blot imager that can also perform image micro-arrays.
Molecular Dynamics (GE) Typhoon™ 9410 Variable Mode Imager unites proven storage phosphor auto-radiography technology with four-color, non-radioactive fluorescent labeling techniques. For DNA, RNA, and protein samples with the Molecular Dynamics Typhoon 9410, you may choose from:Choose from four different Typhoon models depending on your imaging needs. For added flexibility, Typhoon 9200, 9210, and 9400 can be upgraded as imaging needs change. All Typhoon models come with ImageQuant™ TL.
| Microarry Slide A micro-array slide, spotted with cDNA from Micro-array ScoreCard™ control plate and cDNA from Incyte Genomics, Inc. was hybridized with 25 pmol of Cy3-labeled skeletal muscle mRNA and Cy5-labeled liver mRNA. The slide was scanned on Typhoon 9410 at 10 μm pixel size resolution. |
| Two Dimensional 2D- Protein Staining Two-dimensional 2-D protein gel stained with Deep Purple™ Total Protein Stain. Protein sample consists of HBL100 breast cell line and BT474 breast cell carcinoma. First dimension: Immobiline™ DryStrip pH 3-10 NL, 24cm run on Ettan™ IPGphor IEF System. Second dimension: DALT Gel 12.5 run on Ettan DALTtwelve Large Vertical Electrophoresis System. Scanning: Typhoon 9400 Variable Mode Imager: Excitation, green laser (532 nm); emission 560LP filter, PMT 530 V, 100 μm resolution. The gel image shows the pH 3-8 region, where most proteins are present. |
| Four-color competitive gel shift assay Four-color competitive gel shift assay to determine the relative affinities of the Salmonella spp. bacteriophage P22 repressor Mnt (1). In the assay the repressor is allowed to bind four different oligonucloetides labeled with FAM, HEX, TAMRA and ROX respectively at the same time. The intensities for each fluorophore in a lane are related directly to the relative affinity of the repressor protein for the oligonucleotide use |
