Octoplus compact SPL

Powerful Fluorescence & Sensitive Chemiluminescence

Are you looking for a robust device capable of multiplex-fluorescence and chemiluminescence Western Blot imaging and a robust gel documentation system, too? The new Octoplus compact SPL with interactive 21“ touch display is designed for fast and easy imaging and long-lasting high performance.

Different from other LED or Laser-LED systems on the market, the Octoplus compact SPL enables high-power homogenous fluorescence imaging over a large area of up to 16 x 18 cm.

When fluorescent secondaries come to their limit (they do, when a Western Blot target is really low abundant), the high-sensitivity chemiluminescence detection of the Octoplus compact SPL will help.

Easy Handling & Customer Configuration

The different imaging modi are very easy to set-up and be performed automatically by the system. The very robust device can be configured specifically according to your needs.

Reliable (quantitative) Western Blots using SPL

In order to achieve reliable data in differences of abundancy of a specific protein (target protein), the analysis require proper normalisation.
The Octoplus compact SPL is enabled for the patented Smart Protein Layers (SPL) Technology for quantitative Western Blot analysis. By using SPL the amount of detected target protein is normalized to the amount of corresponding protein sample at the same time.

Why at the same time?

After transfer to a blotting membrane (NC, PVDF) the proteins are bound in a non-covalent manner. As proteins 30-70% of the proteins are washed away from the membrane during WB procedure, target and reference proteins should be detected at the same moment to achieve accurate quantification.
