Gerix 1040, basing on the basic system Gerix 1000, is a comfortable documentation system with various application possibilities. The equipment with UV-transilluminator, white top light and white light transmission (UV-conversion screen) anables fouorescence and white light acquisitions, such as gels, films, blots and Ptris dishes. The intensity switch 50/100% on the transilluinator allows the change between preparative and analytical applications. The dark hood is equipped with an automatic UV-shut-off when open the door. Inspecting the gels under UV-light, can be realised with the preparative function. If requested a UV protection shield can be used in the darkhood DH-40. Gerix 1040 does not need an additional PC for the acquisition and print-out of the images. The control of the system and the overexposure control is made via the external control unit. The optional themal printer P93E can be put on the printer holder which is mounted on the dark hood. This is spacesaving and convenient.
