FastGene® FAS-X combines modern design, state-of-the-art technology using the safe blue/green LEDs as light source, very user-friendly software, and high quality made in Germany. The FastGene® FAS-X is an impressive stand-alone system. Its elegant design and small footprint (only 40cm) allow it to fit into any laboratory environment. No external computer is required. Enhanced interaction via the 13.3″ full HD touch screen provides a simple user experience, while large storage capacity (128GB) and network compatibility improve data management and workflow efficiency.The transilluminator is integrated into a push-to-open loading drawer ensuring absolute darkness and the best image quality without light contamination.

UV light is dangerous and destructive, blue LEDs have poor sensitivity to many dyes. With the FAS-X, it is time to say goodbye to these problems! The unique blue/green LED technology protects the user and will boost your results with incredible sensitivity. Commonly used UV light poses risks not only to the user but also to the sample. Blue/green LED technology works within the wavelengths of a light spectrum ranging from 470 to 520nm. This range of light is in the visible spectrum and is not harmful to the user or the DNA sample, making the gel documentation process safer. One light source for DNA, RNA and proteins! In addition to its remarkable safety, the integrated blue/green LED light effectively excites a wide range of common red (incl. EtBr) and green DNA dyes as well as fluorescent proteins with very high intensity. This is achieved by accumulating the light energy absorbed by the fluorophores.

• Equipped with a 20 MP colour camera, FastGene® FAS-X provides high resolution gel images and simplifies the process of selecting the area of interest on your gel
• The camera‘s scientific-grade 1″ CMOS sensor offers a remarkable sensitivity, detecting nucleic acids at concentrations as low as 2 ng, this ensures that every detail is captured with precision for publication-quality images
• Giant transilluminator with a viewing area of 26 x 21cm ensures perfect illumination of all gel sizes, large gels as well as multiple gels
• Prefocused optical unit allows you to capture images without the need to refocus, saving you time
• Not UV, not blue LED, but blue/green LED
• Documentation beyond fluorescent gels is possible with the additional white light, the filter wheel in the FAS-X offers the advantage of effortlessly switching between fluorescence (blue/green LED light) and the white light mode
• Software has been designed to make operating the instrument and communicating with the camera as easy as possible
• User-friendly interface is integrated into the touch screen and allows you to capture the best gel formations with a few simple clicks
• Direct communication between the software and the camera enables fast image capture and powerful live image editing
• The software ensures effortless operation of the instrument with an intuitive and user-friendly interface accessible via the large 13.3″ touch screen, this allows users to capture the finest gel images with just a few taps
• AUTO mode automatically optimises the image capture process for you, PRO mode gives you full control over the image capture settings
• Equipped with multiple user login and robust password protection, the FAS-X empowers researchers to safeguard their work
• Images can be printed during live sample visualisation or from the gallery after saving it, the supported printers are Sony UP-X898MD (view product) and Sony UP-D897
