The Sensitivity of Film at an Economical Price
With the Azure 280, performance and affordability go hand-in-hand, putting sensitive digital chemiluminescent detection within reach of most individual labs.
Get the same sensitivity as chemiluminescent detection on film, but without the hassles of a darkroom and the expense of a bulky film developer.
Image acquisition is as easy as placing your blot into the instrument and pressing a button—no more wasting time testing multiple film exposures to get the best image.
Ask for upgrade options to visible and IR Western Blot Imaging.
