Imported gel imaging main brand introduction

When it comes to gel imaging brand introduction , gel imaging technology is a mature and common experimental analysis technology. How to choose suitable gel imaging products, many professionals have given it from the perspective of technology and application. A full introduction and elaboration. Many of these articles also talked about the situation of many corresponding brands, and even articles that specifically introduce major brands. I have read a little. I feel that many articles have been in the past 5 or even 7 or 8 years ago. Some brands have been renamed or even acquired. If the netizens introduce the situation, they may make a big joke. Here, the author gives a brief explanation of the gel imaging brand introduction only for the major imported brands on the market, and hopes to help everyone.

The current gel imaging brands are very numerous, and are widely known as US ProteinSimple , American BioRad, American UVP, British UVI, British Syngene, American Carestream , French VILBER LOURMAT, Israel DNR, American GE, and the like. Some experienced users may have doubts. Some of the so-called "well-known" brands seem to be strange. In fact, ProteinSimple is the famous ALPHA INNOTECH and Carestream is the original KODAK.

First of all, we introduce GE in the United States . In fact, GE has never produced gel imaging products. At present, the older models in our labs should be produced by the former American ALPHA company. Later, GE directly acquired another well-known product. The gel imaging manufacturer is FUJI. FUJI's products are very good. I believe that many experienced chemiluminescent users know about it. The octagonal pixel CCD imaging effect is quite good. At that time, one of the two competitive brands in the high-end chemiluminescence market was FUJI. One is the original ALPHA. However, FUJI is currently acquired by GE. Its brand effect, the author believes that with the support of GE's big brands, its pre-sales and post-sales services should be improved, but its innovation is still worth observing. After all, it is changed from the pillar products of the original company. Part of the GE molecular product line is less important.

Another big brand company, Bio-rad , Bio-rad, uses a wide range of gel imaging and its performance is excellent. Its GelDoc XR and GelDoc XRS performance is very stable, which provides great support and help for many western blot experiments. It may be the most widely used chemiluminescence imaging analysis instrument in China. This is not only due to its stable performance, I think it is inseparable from the brand effect of Bio-rad. Bio-rad's long and comprehensive product line not only provides a complete solution but also is more convenient after sale. However, in terms of performance, according to the experiment that the author has contacted, we believe that even when the target protein expression is very small, even the highest-end Bio-rad product VersaDoc MP 5000 is not so good. This point, we see from the configuration is very clear, its high-end VersaDoc MP 5000/4000 and other re-resolution and cooling processing is not very good, which may be related to the performance of both UV and visible imaging, so More in line with its versatility. Therefore, the author believes that Bio-rad is a very good choice in the mid-end imaging market.

US ProteinSimple , which is a relatively big brand in the past two years, is a specialized protein analysis company developed on the basis of the original ALPHA company, and knows its name from the company. Alpha was originally focused on the development of gel imaging, with a particular focus on the development of high-end products, such as its chemiluminescence imaging analysis products have been maintaining the leading technology and performance, and pioneered the development of multi-color fluorescence imaging analysis series, and Multicolor fluorescent gel imaging technology still retains its unique advantages to date. However, its low-end UV and visible light imaging products have been launched less this year, which has led to a decline in market visibility, especially after the renaming of the low-end market. From the perspective of performance and market response, the author believes that ProteinSimple is a good choice for the high-end imaging market, especially for multi-color fluorescence imaging analysis.

Syngene is a very famous brand in the UK . Its products are more selectable. It may have the highest selectivity in all imported gel imaging products. Many accessories such as lenses and CCDs can be flexibly combined. Basically, you can choose the most suitable product according to your funding situation. So Syngene is the most flexible brand, with good performance from the low end to the middle and high end.

Israel DNR , has been an unknown import brand, small and flexible, low market share in the domestic market, its performance is stable, the design is very beautiful. From the market reaction situation, there should be good results in the mid-end market.

US UVP, a very cost-effective product, has a good reputation in the low-end market. France VILBER LOURMAT, from its propaganda parameters, may be the best products on the market, especially the high-end chemiluminescence products on the promotional parameters of the parameters are very high, so that the manufacturers are ashamed. But only in terms of shape design and workmanship, the author believes that its products are not without the romantic feelings of the French.

Written here, in fact, we found that in the application of low-end products for gel imaging, the difference is not very big. Some are just different in design and configuration. Therefore, at this time, good after-sales service, many references and other factors appear to be more important. Therefore, like other conventional instruments, the author believes that good service for low-end and mid-range instruments is very important, and high-end products, good performance and innovation are very important. I hope this gel imaging brand introduction can help you.
