Bio-Rad Universal Hood II Gel Documentation System

The Bio-Rad Universal Hood II Gel Documentation System is an easy-to-use, high-performance system that captures images in real time, allowing you to more accurately position and focus on your sample. The Gel Doc system combines a compact darkroom, UV-transilluminator workstation, CCD camera, motorized zoom lens, and user-friendly Quantity One software to document and quantitate gels stained with ethidium bromide and other fluorophores. The iris, zoom, and focus of the lens can be manipulated either onscreen within Quantity One software (not included) or by the instrument control panel.
