Bio-5000, Professional Gel Scanner, is perfectly designed to capture images of biological samples either dry or wet:
• Gel electrophoresis
• SDS-PAGE
• Films for autoradiography (Western blots, Northern blots ...)
• Gel Documentation
• IEF gel
Microtek's Bio-5000, performing advanced application in biological laboratory, is perfectly designed for image capture of dry or wet sample of gel electrophoresis, SDS-PAGE, western blotting films, documents and so on. The Bio-5000, presenting greater image quality, has great features including 4800 optical resolution, 48-bit color, 0.05D ~ 3.70D & 4.2Dmax, which delivers astonishing, sharpness and detailed image for the light area. With the Auto Focus technology, no matter the scanned target is uneven or crease reflective, Bio-5000 can solve problems, which presents near-original images.
Thanks to the design of gel scanner, the glass holder can be removed anytime. The glass holders can be cleaned easily. Scientists can capture images directly from gel surface handily no matter the samples are dry or wet.

Designed removable watertight glass holder Bio-5000 is equipped with a removable and watertight glass holder that can be easily pulled out by hands to be washed and cleaned. Images of wet/dry gel samples are captured with the mechanism design of Microtek Emulsion Direct Imaging Technology (E.D.I.T.). Users can capture images directly from gel surface handily no matter the samples are dry or wet.
Deliver the accurate images no matter the scanned target is uneven or crease reflective or films Microtek Bio-5000 technology solves the limit of the short DOF (depth of field) with high resolution. It also allows users to shift the focusing point on scanned targets; therefore, users can correct deficiencies on scanned targets easily and quickly.
Microtek patented E.D.I.T. Microtek's patented E.D.I.T. (Emulsion Direct Imaging Technology) allows you to capture images directly from the emulsion surface of the originals without an interfering pane of glass. This results in distortion-free images, diminished light refraction, and the elimination of "Newton Rings" — those annoying and extremely hard-toremove concentric circles that result from scanning a transparency through a glass plate.
Dual-scan beds: 8"x10" / Gel & Transparent, 8.5"x14" / Reflective.
0.05D ~ 3.70D, 4.2Dmax The Bio-5000 delivers impressive image quality, versatility and productivity features with its 4800 x 9600 dpi optical resolution, 48-bit color depth, and 0.05D ~ 3.70D, 4.2Dmax
Make batch scanning easily With specially designed film holders, the Bio-5000 accommodates film holders. The film holders lock into place, assuring perfect alignment and precise scans, as well as offering convenient batch scanning.
Powerful software features Along with MiBio, it implements many biological image analysis features with a user-friendly surface (Windows only). The utility provides added valuable turnkey solution. Microtek’s Bio-5000 is also compatible with all advanced image analysis software packages for 1D and 2D gel electrophoresis.
Fields of application and application examples Electrophoresis gels stained with Coomassie blue staining, or autoradiography. i.e. silver-stained SDS PAGE, etc.
