ChemiDoc Go Imaging System

Introducing the NEW ChemiDoc Go Imaging System​ – Small Footprint, Big Results
The ChemiDoc Go Imaging System is the next-generation imager from the ChemiDoc Imaging System line. Effortlessly capture gel and western blot images from your benchtop without compromising on sensitivity and precision.

ChemiDoc Go System Features

Advanced chemiluminescence and StarBright™ Blue fluorescence detection in a compact design.

GO ahead — acquire, save, quantitate, report, and publish with ease.

Capture gel and western blot images from your benchtop with the same sensitivity as larger, shared instruments. With advanced scientific CMOS digital imaging, expect no compromises in sensitivity or useful linear range when using the ChemiDoc Go Imaging System. Choose traditional chemiluminescent detection, colourimetric, or use cost-effective fluorescent StarBright™ Blue antibodies and go further with multiplex analysis. Normalise to total protein and eliminate the need to detect housekeeping proteins using Stain-Free Gels in your western blot workflow.​

Gel Excision with the ChemiDoc Go Imaging System

Compact size with a large imaging area — Compatible with large format gels and blots and up to four mini gels or blots at once.
Safe gel excision, no matter your stain — Perform gel excision directly on the instrument. The optional UV shield protects the user when working with traditional DNA stains. Use the optional Blue Tray for easy direct excision when working with safe stains.
SmartTray Technology with light intensity adjustment — Adjust the blue light intensity during band excision to ensure the clearest view of bands.​

Consider Fluorescent Western Blotting
Fluorescently labelled secondary antibodies and advanced digital imaging are a powerful combination for western blot detection and quantitation. The ChemiDoc™ Go Imaging System allows fluorescence detection in two colours using StarBright Blue 520 and 700 Fluorescent Secondary Antibodies. Fluorescence detection with StarBright Blue is compatible with total protein normalization using Stain-Free technology, eliminating the need for a channel to detect housekeeping proteins.

Benefits of StarBright Antibodies

• Easy multiplexing – Can detect multiple proteins on the same blot.
• Exceptional brightness – Shorter exposure time compared to regular fluorescent dyes (seconds instead of minutes).
• High signal-to-noise ratio – Ideal for use with Bio-Rad’s ChemiDoc Imaging Systems family.
• Low nonspecific binding – Conjugated to highly cross-adsorbed antibodies.
