Description
Gel documentation system WGD-20 is a compact imaging station for capturing and archiving electrophoresis gels. It combines a 1,5 megapixel camera with 4,65 × 4,65 µm pixel size, 1360 × 1024 resolution, fixed F1,0 aperture and 8–48 mm focal length with a portable dark chamber based on a 10-bit CCD for 8-bit greyscale image acquisition. A USB 2.0 interface links the unit to laboratory computers, while overall dimensions of 260 × 260 × 430 mm and a weight of 9 kg keep the footprint suitable for crowded benches. Included DNA analysis software WiseCapture II™ enables straightforward viewing, capture and storage of gel images. From manufacturer Witeg, the WGD-20 supports routine nucleic-acid gel documentation in molecular biology, teaching and quality-control laboratories that need reliable greyscale imaging without a large dedicated darkroom. The integrated camera–chamber design streamlines workflow from gel loading to digital record-keeping.

Questions about Gel documentation system WGD-20
What is this article?
Gel documentation system WGD-20 is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Witeg for laboratory use. It sits in Microscopy accessories, inside Microscopy & histology, in Lab instruments.
Microscopy accessories are the stages, the holders, the bulbs and the cameras' adapters that are not the objective and not the slide. A C-mount adapter of the wrong factor crops or vignettes the image. The accessory has to name the microscope it fits.
A light microscope forms an image with glass lenses and transmitted or reflected light. A stereo microscope is the lower-magnification instrument for dissecting and for looking at a surface. Fluorescence needs a light source and filters matched to the dye. Histology is the preparation that makes a tissue readable: fixation, a cassette, a section, a stain. The objective's magnification and numerical aperture decide the resolution. The slide and the cover glass decide whether the section sits in the focal plane. Stains and dyes as substances are identified on PubChem. Papers on the methods are on PubMed.
