기기데모 요청 및 문의 : biotools@icloud.com





Q:Do I need special consumables for Touch Imager imaging?

A:Touch Imager imaging is exactly the same as other chemiluminescent imaging methods. You only need to bring the finished WB membrane to the Touch Imager for imaging.


Q:What are the imaging functions of Touch Imager?

Touch Imager is suitable for imaging a variety of extremely weak autofluorescence signals, such as

Western blot chemiluminescence imaging

Southern blot nucleic acid blotting chemiluminescence imaging

Northern blot nucleic acid blot chemiluminescence imaging

Dot blot chemiluminescence imaging

Isotope labeling imaging    etc. ......


Q: What type of sample is the Touch Imager best suited for WB imaging?

The Touch Imager is suitable for all types of WB chemiluminescence imaging, especially for weak signals and samples with large expression differences, such as: WB imaging of phosphorylated proteins, WB imaging of immunoprecipitation, WB validation of transgenic plants and transgenic animals, WB imaging of rare samples, etc.


Q:How long does it take to turn on the Touch Imager?

A:It is ready to use without waiting.


Q:How do I focus the Touch Imager when taking pictures?

A:There is no lens, the sample and the sensor chip are in direct contact, no need to adjust the focus


Q:What are the photo modes of the software?

A:The software has various photo modes for all sample types.

Manual photo: Directly select the exposure time.

Automatic photo: signal accumulation mode, 30S continuous out of 8 different time exposure results.

Customized photography: independent setting of the first image exposure time and the accumulation time of different picture exposure.

Extreme HD mode: for taking pictures with very weak signals


Q : Can Touch Imager take marker and do image merging when doing WB imaging ?
A : Yes


Q : Will the Touch Imager sample stage leak ?
A:No, the Touch Imager has undergone rigorous waterproof testing to ensure that water will never leak during use.


Q:How to maintain the Touch Imager after taking pictures?

A:Use the wipe cloth to dry the residual luminous fluid, no other operation is needed.


Q:If there is a long holiday, how to maintain the Touch Imager for a long time without using it?

A:Wipe the surface of the sample table with a cloth dipped in distilled water, dry it, cover the top of the instrument and cut off the power. The instrument should be stored in a cool, ventilated and dry environment.


Q:Does the software come with analysis function, can I install it on my own computer?

A: The software comes with analysis and image editing functions such as gray value analysis, shear, rotation, etc. The software can be installed on your own computer. The software can be installed on your own computer, as long as the computer meets the software installation configuration requirements.
