NIPPON Genetics EUROPE FastGene FAS-DIGI Compact Gel Imaging System

The FastGene® FAS-DIGI Compact is made made for ultra safe and ultra sensitive DNA/RNA detection − without using UV-light. The intuitive and easy handling creates perfect gel images. It consist of two main parts, the transilluminator and the dark box with a high-quality camera. With a compact dark box body made of highest quality coated aluminium, the stand alone device has been designed for labs that need a powerful gel documentation system but only have limited benchtop space.

It comes with a huge blue/green LED transilluminator (21 x 26cm) giving a large illumination area for various gel sizes. Using UV-light transilluminators affects you and your sample. Exposing yourself to the dangerous light source can harm your eyes and skin and damage your DNA sample for further downstream applications. This is why the FastGene® FAS-DIGI Compact includes a large transilluminator with blue/green LED technology. Blue/green LEDs protect your sample and yourself from harmful UV-light exposure. Designed for guaranteed safe and easy handling.

Even faint bands can be detected with the high standard 24 MP Canon EOS DSLR camera. You can extract small gel image areas in very high resolution and best quality. The camera has a rotable and swiveling touch-screen display for very comfortable usage. The inbuilt amber gilter viewing window allows you to look at your illuminated gel and easily check and cut out the desired DNA bands for further applications.

• Compact design – space-saving and powerful
• Safe – no damage to the DNA, no risk from UV light for the user
• Flexible – for the detection of DNA/RNA and proteins
• Versatile – compatible with all DNA dyes

• FastGene® FAS-DIGI Compact is the entry-model, but the upgrade to FAS-DIGI PRO can easily be performed by simply replacing the FAS-DIGI Compact dark box with the FAS-DIGI PRO dark box, as both imaging systems use the same blue/green LED transilluminator and the camera
