Biometra with New Gel Documentation System "BDAdigital"

Goettingen/Jena (Germany), September 30, 2011 ? Biometra GmbH, a Company of Analytik Jena Group, launches the successor of the popular BDAdigital gel documentation system in October 2011: The new system is the first system of its type in the market with digital single reflex camera.

Besides the high resolution of 12.2 megapixels and the possibility to acquire colour as well as grey-scale images also the specifically adapted image acquisition software offers several benefits: With the help of the live preview camera parameters are easily optimized. For recurrent exposures the parameters can be stored as individual profiles. Then future exposures are done with "one touch". It is helpful and new that not only the autofocus can be triggered by the software but also the manual focus. Thus even gels with diffuse bands can be perfectly documented with full focus.

The following analysis of the gels with the likewise basically upgraded BioDocAnalyze analysis software is completed by automatic detections and calculations with a few mouse-clicks. In addition to the camera, bandpass filter and the software either the budget, small hood "BDA Hood" or the advanced darkhood "BDA Box" with sliding door comes with BDAdigital. A unique anti-theft protection for the attractive camera is included with every darkhood. A wide choice of UV transilluminators in different versions offer the right solution for every application. According to the respective requirements BDAdigital is available in modules for combination with existing laboratory components or as complete "plug-and-play" system including computer and printer.
