The CHEF Mapper system incorporates patented FIGE and AFIGE technologies for superior resolution in the range of 100 bp to 10 Mb, in addition to the features of the CHEF-DR II and the CHEF-DR III systems. The CHEF Mapper XA system also includes algorithms for deriving separation conditions. Each CHEF Mapper system is supplied with a power module, embedded auto-algorithm for protocol optimization, interactive algorithm program disk, electrophoresis cell, cooling module, variable-speed pump, and accessory kit.

The ChemiDoc XRS system is the most advanced chemiluminescence detection system in Bio-Rad’s gel documentation line. The system features flat fielding technology for superior uniformity and quantitation, and the flexibility to image chemiluminescent, fluorescent, and colorimetric. It also includes a supersensitive CCD, a light-tight compact darkroom, a slide-out transilluminator with preparative mode for added safety when manually visualizing samples.

The CHEF-DR III system separates large and small DNA fragments with better resolution, speed, and accuracy, than initial pulsed field methods. DNAs from 100 bases to over 10 megabases (mb) may be effectively resolved. For example, the chromosomal DNA of Schizosaccharomyces pombe can be resolved in 1 day using a 106° pulse angle, compared to 2 days at 120°. Everything from Yeast Artificial Chromosomes (YACs) to M13 inserts can be separated with a single instrument.

The CFX96 optical reaction module converts the C1000 Touch thermal cycler chassis into the powerful and precise CFX96 Touch real-time PCR detection system. This six-channel system combines advanced optical technology with precise thermal control to deliver sensitive, reliable detection. Quickly set up runs and monitor amplification traces in real time on the integrated LCD touch screen. With up to five-target detection, unsurpassed thermal cycler performance, unrivalled stand-alone functionality, and powerful yet easy-to-use software, the CFX96 Touch system is designed to advance qPCR.
