∙ resolution scanning can be shown using profile and zoom analysis of 4-set line sequences on all IPD systems.

∙ relative lens uniformity can also be shown using profile (or volume box) analysis of all the square blocks. ∙ phosphorescence can be shown using the chemiluminescence mode(s). Phosphorescence (chemiluminescent applications) ∙ NOTE: The ChemiDoc and Gel Doc systems will show both red and green fluorescence with the EtBr filter ∙ customers can use the fluorescent red ruler for gel measurements and alignment. ∙ fluorescence image collection can also be shown (qualitatively) by doing a profile analysis on all red squares after acquisition. ∙ multi-channel fluorescence can be shown in scanning first with Texas Red and then switching to the FITC or other green fluorescence application. ∙ single channel fluorescence can be shown using the Texas Red application. Red-Fluorescence (emission peak at 637 nm) ∙ NOTE: The ChemiDoc and Gel Doc systems will show both red and green fluorescence with the EtBr filter. ∙ uniformity of fluorescence image collection can also be shown (qualitatively) by doing a profile (or volume box) analysis on all green squares after acquisition. For the FX, both the red and green will be excited and exhibit fluorescence using either the 488 or 635 nm laser lines. ∙ multi-color fluorescence can be shown by first scanning with a green application and then scanning with a red application using the Fluor-S or Fluor-S MAX. ∙ single channel fluorescence can be shown using the FITC or other green fluorescence applications on the Fluor-S, Fluor-S MAX or Molecular Imager FX. Green-Fluorescence (emission peak at 534 nm) to show customers various features of the system being demonstrated. This target supports 4 different imaging modes (psuedo-applications) allowing reps. The main advantage of the imaging target is that you may no longer need to have the customer run samples in order to acquire a quick image and show off the system. It can be applied for some general quantitation, but the inks are not uniformly printed and will yield variable results. THIS TARGET IS NOT INTENDED FOR QUANTITATIVE (QC) USE BUT RATHER AS A QUALITATIVE TOOL. The target was developed so that you can quickly demonstrate the performance capabilities of all IPD instruments without a biological sample. The Multi-Color Imaging Target has been designed for use with all IPD instruments. Please find attached Bio-Rad’s new Multi-Color Imaging Target and suggested protocol.
