Systems
PXi models feature exclusive new generation high
sensitivity 16 bit CCD systems with high quantum
efficiencies. The 4m, 6m and 9m pixel options are
cooled to -57 degree C, have extremely low read out noise and
deliver exceptional images for chemiluminescence and
low light level fluorescence applications. Resolution for
bands and spots is as low as 40μm.
Lenses
Each system has a carefully selected lens to maximise the use of the camera sensor and to produce the best possible performance in image quality. Each lens is 'fixed focal length' such that no zooming of the samples is required, (with the exception of PXi4 EZ which comes with a motor driven zoom lens). Syngene's unique FlatFix technology ensures perfect background correction for all images while an automatic lens
correction function is utilised to remove distortions that can sometimes affect images.
Filter wheel
All PXis have a motor driven filter wheel which can house up to 7 different emission filters to cover a wide range of applications. The filter selection is controlled by GeneSys once the user has defined the application they are working with. User access to the filter wheel to fit more filters is via the
removable front cover/monitor.
Filters
PXi can be fitted with a wide range of emission filters to extend its range of applications. A UV (orange) filter is supplied as standard with the PXi.
Sample drawer
The PXi has a sliding sample drawer. Samples can be easily positioned in the drawer using the integrated alignment guide for the positioning of the transilluminator and any chemiluminescent blots being used. The drawer has an electronic lock which prevents anyone from accessing the system during image capture.
