Improved multimode biomolecular imaging with Amersham™ Typhoon™ laser scanners

Four-instruments-in-one delivers versatility, with sensitive detection down to 3 pg of protein

Amersham™ Typhoon™ biomolecular imagers are the next generation range of Typhoon FLA scanners from GE Healthcare’s Life Sciences business. Four-instruments-in-one, the imagers offer versatile imaging and precise quantitation of fluorescent, color-stained, and radiolabeled biomolecules like proteins and nucleic acids. With sensitive detection down to 3 pg of protein, a combination of phosphor imaging, red, green & blue (RGB) fluorescence, near-IR fluorescence (NIR) and OD measurement are delivered in a single instrument.

Typhoon’s five-laser configuration option and advanced photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) deliver a greater degree of fluorescent multiplexed detection1, and its broad linear dynamic range provides the enhanced sensitivity and accuracy required to detect subtle differences in protein levels2. Phosphor imaging allows for radiolabelled target detection with high sensitivity.
