Overview
Big Imaging Power Right at Your Bench
Discover sensitive imaging and simple workflows in a compact system designed for everyday research.
Capture clear, publication-ready images of DNA gels, protein gels, and chemiluminescent western blots without sacrificing sensitivity or accuracy. The ChemiDoc Go Imaging System* with Image Lab Touch Software combines advanced CMOS imaging with a wide dynamic range, so you can confidently detect both strong and low-abundance signals in a single experiment.
Choose the detection method that fits your workflow (e.g., chemiluminescent, colorimetric, or fluorescent) and expand into cost-effective multiplex analysis with StarBright™ Blue antibodies. ChemiDoc Go Imaging System supports Stain-Free gel and blot imaging with compatible trays, enabling fast total protein normalization without additional staining steps. Explore our Stain-Free technology to learn how it can help simplify normalization workflows.
As Bio-Rad’s first digital imager with built-in BR.io cloud connectivity, the ChemiDoc Go Imaging System also enables secure image transfer to the cloud and remote analysis with Image Lab Software, giving your team more flexibility to review, analyze, and collaborate from anywhere.
