SAPPHIRE FL+ BIOMOLECULAR IMAGER for Phosphor & Fluorescence Imaging
From large-format phosphor screens to high-throughput imaging workflows, the Sapphire FL+ by Azure Biosystems, offers a 46 x 25cm scanning bed – a scan area spacious enough to accommodate even oversized samples. From Western blots and gels to microscope slides and model organism imaging, adjustable 5-1000 µm resolution ensures unparalleled flexibility
The Sapphire FL+ is one of only two scanners in its class that supports phosphor imaging—a highly sensitive assay that utilizes radioactivity. It can scan storage phosphor screens up to 20 x 40 cm, delivering outstanding dynamic range and image quality through its use of laser excitation and photon multiplier tube (PMT) detection.
Sapphire FL+ features a unique, patent-pending design of interchangeable and customizable laser and filter modules, enabling a virtually infinite number of spectral combinations. A broad range of excitation and emission wavelengths, as well as phosphor imaging, are supported.
The Sapphire FL+ scans between 5 – 1000 µm resolution to ensure clear visualization of detailed samples. Image complex and minute samples, including tissue and microarray slides, with accuracy. Triage multiple slides at high resolution before microscopic analysis.
An optional Chemiluminescence Module adds high-resolution, quantitative chemiluminescence and visible imaging. It allows you to capture proteins with femtogram sensitivity and gives you the ability to capture colour marker images.
