LI-COR Odyssey -Model XF -Imaging System for Accurate Western Blot Analysis
The Odyssey XF Imaging System, developed by LI-COR, merges the precision of Near-Infrared (NIR) and enhanced chemiluminescent (ECL) imaging into one comprehensive device. It incorporates two NIR lasers, along with LED and CCD technology powered by FieldBrite technology to ensure even illumination across the imaging field. This integration results in higher sensitivity and dynamic range compared to traditional film and other CCD-based systems, making it suitable for tasks such as Western blotting, nucleic acid gels, and fluorescent protein gels. The Odyssey XF eliminates the need for post-capture image corrections, preserving data integrity and ensuring consistent, reliable results. Researchers are able to utilize the system’s six logs of linear dynamic range to achieve richer data sets. Additionally, it supports dual-channel multiplex fluorescence for detecting multiple targets concurrently. Designed to cater to a broad range of users, the Odyssey XF is part of the wider LICORbio Odyssey family, compatible with powerful analysis tools like Image Studio and Empiria Studio software for enhanced experimental workflows.
CLEAR IMAGES,
EVEN CLEARER ANSWERS
THE STARTING POINT FOR GREATER DISCOVERIESThe Odyssey XF uses two NIR lasers, as well as LED and CCD with innovative FieldBrite™ technology for equal illumination across the entire imaging field. Not only will you get more accurate, consistent scans, but you’ll also see the Odyssey XF offers greater sensitivity and dynamic range than film and other CCD imagers. With it, you’ll get the best possible Western blots, chemiluminescent Western blots, nucleic acid gels, and fluorescent protein gels.
The Odyssey XF lays the groundwork for reliable analysis by taking precise, high-integrity images. Gathering all the vital components of separate NIR and chemiluminescent imagers into one, the Odyssey XF is the ideal solution for researchers of all experience levels.
DISCOVER MORE OPPORTUNITIES
Image your near-infrared (NIR) and enhanced chemiluminescent (ECL) Western blots, detect multiple targets on the same blot with two-channel multiplex fluorescence, and document DNA gels without juggling multiple instruments.
DO MORE WITH ACCURATE IMAGING
Capture uniform, low-background images that are not subjected to image correction. Because post-capture image manipulation isn’t required, the Odyssey XF always ensures superior data integrity.
DETECT MORE WITH RICHER DATA
Capture the true detail and complexity of your experimental data. With 6 logs of linear dynamic range, your results are more reliable, and near-infrared fluorescence delivers consistent signals that aren’t affected by time-dependent enzymatic reactions.
