Bio-5050 Application Scenario



 

High accuracy & Stability performance
With 48 bit color depth, 4800 dpi resolution, 0.0D ~ 3.4D absorbance range capacity, plus high-quality and stable performance with a CV value of 0.5%, it can accurately and stably capture electrophoretic gel, rapid test strip and film images. It is the best choice for digitization a biological laboratory electrophoretic gel related image.

 

Periodic auto-scan (Time-Lapse)
With high-stability performance and a customized periodic auto-scan function, Bio-5050 can record the variation of the tested images for further analysis.It is a better cost-effective solution for ELISA-related experiment.

 

 

Multi-function Gel documentation equipment
With the twin-bed design, Bio-5050 can scan electrophoresis gels, films, rapid test strip and documents to improve the efficiency of laboratory imaging operations. The built-in autofocus design ensures flexible and high-precision image capture equipment.

 

 

Leak-Proof & Customized Template

25x20cm large leak-proof tray is designed to carry electrophoresis gel, film and transparent samples. The leak-proof design avoids damage to the scanner. The flexible design is easy to customize a template to use for different test samples.

Features List


  • Ultra-High Scan Stability (CV < 1%):Features an exceptional Coefficient of Variation (CV value of 0.5% at 1D and 1% at 2D). This superior stability ensures highly reproducible, accurate image density capture, making it a reliable tool for precise quantitative analysis.

  • Time-Series Scanning (Time-Lapse)Equipped with a programmable periodic scanning function. Users can customize specific time intervals and repeat cycles to automatically capture sample images over time, perfectly documenting gradual biological changes.

  • Dual-Platform & Auto-Focus DesignOffers dual scanning beds—an 8” x 10” transparency area for gels/films and an 8.5” x 14” reflective bed for document reports. The built-in hardware auto-focus dynamically adjusts the CCD module to deliver crystal-clear image layers.

  • Large Removable Leak-Free HolderFeatures a large 25 x 20 cm liquid-tight glass tray that completely contains liquids from wet electrophoresis gels, protecting internal electronics and allowing easy custom tray swapping for various sample types.

  • Wide Linear Dynamic RangeDelivers 2400 dpi optical resolution and a true 0.0D to 3.4D optical density range with 48-bit color depth, ensuring that even extremely faint bands or subtle color gradations are faithfully digitized without data loss.


Applications / Use Cases


  • Quantitative Electrophoresis & Gel DigitalizationTailored for molecular biology laboratories needing high-fidelity digital archiving and precise quantitative mapping of 1D/2D electrophoresis gels or sensitive X-ray autoradiography films.

  • Rapid Diagnostic Strip (IVD) BatchesThe spacious scanning bed and flat architecture make it perfect for running multi-lane Rapid Test kits, lateral flow assays, or rapid screening strips simultaneously.

  • Colorimetric Assay & Tube InspectionsWidely used to verify sample reactions in customized multi-well holders or color comparison tubes where structural stability and uniform illumination are critical.

  • Biological Chronological StudiesIdeal for research labs conducting time-dependent biological monitoring, enabling hands-free tracking of gel migration patterns or reaction changes across strict timelines.
