SAN LEANDRO, Calif.–Alpha Innotech (OTCBB:APNO – News), a leading provider of innovative bioimaging solutions for the life science research market, announced today that it has begun shipment of RED™, its newest gel imaging system.

Designed to take advantage of the burgeoning global market for personal laboratory instruments, the RED personal gel imager combines touch screen controls with advanced imaging technology and an integrated onboard computer, all in a uniquely compact footprint.

RED’s scientific-grade sensor and innovative optical design provides the flexibility critical to imaging the growing list of fluorescent labels found in a typical laboratory. RED’s integrated transillumination and epi illumination sources combined with its three position filter wheel are designed for exciting and imaging a wide variety of UV fluorescent labels commonly used in stained DNA and protein gels, such as Ethidium Bromide, SYBR® Green, SYBR® Safe and Hoechst Blue. RED also excels at imaging white light applications such as coomassie and silver stained protein gels. Images can be saved to a USB memory stick or printed directly to a digital thermal printer for archiving in the user’s lab notebook.

RED was designed for maximum ease of use. From its simple installation to its intuitive user interface, this system is plug-and-play. “Most gel imaging systems on the market require a company representative to perform the installation and provide individual training,” commented Lawreen Asuncion, Associate Product Manager. “With RED, the user can simply pull the instrument out of the box, plug in the power cord, turn it on and start imaging. With all imaging controls at their fingertips, users can quickly acquire an image with just a few taps on the touch screen. The instrument is so easy to use that no training is needed for broad gel based applications.”

“Alpha Innotech has long been a market leader in high end chemiluminescence and fluorescence imaging workstations,” stated Sia Ghazvini, Vice President of Marketing and Business Development. “With RED, we have taken our advanced technology and made it simple and intuitive to use and integrated all system components into a compact footprint. RED provides a powerful yet cost effective solution that we believe will enable more labs worldwide to adopt digital gel documentation systems.”
