FastGene FAS-X

The next generation of gel imaging system with Blue/Green LED light

The new way of EXCELLENT gel documentation

FastGene^® FAS-X combines:

modern design,
state-of-the-art technology using the safe Blue/Green LEDs as light source,
very user-friendly software,
high quality Made in Germany.

All In One – No additional equipment required

The FastGene^® FAS-X is an impressive stand-alone system. Its elegant design and small footprint (only 40 cm) allow it to fit into any laboratory environment. No external computer is required.
Enhanced interaction via the 13.3” full HD touch screen provides a simple user experience, while large storage capacity (128 GB) and network compatibility improve data management and workflow efficiency.The transilluminator is integrated into a push-to-open loading drawer ensuring absolute darkness and the best image quality without light contamination.

Brilliant image quality

Equipped with a 20 MPixel colour camera, FastGene^® FAS-X provides high resolution gel images and simplifies the process of selecting the area of interest on your gel.
The camera‘s scientific-grade 1 inch CMOS sensor offers a remarkable sensitivity, detecting nucleic acids at concentrations as low as 2 ng. This ensures that every detail is captured with precision for publication-quality images. Don‘t let any band go unnoticed!
The giant transilluminator with a viewing area of 26 cm x 21 cm ensures perfect illumination of all gel sizes, large gels as well as multiple gels.
The prefocused optical unit allows you to capture images without the need to refocus, saving you time and allowing you to capture images faster.

Not UV, not Blue LED, but Blue/Green LED! SAFE gel imaging to protect you and your samples

UV light is dangerous and destructive. Blue LEDs have poor sensitivity to many dyes. With the FAS-X, it is time to say goodbye to these problems! Our unique Blue/Green LED technology protects the user and will boost your results with incredible sensitivity.

The most important innovation is the implementation of the Blue/Green LED technology (learn more about the technology). No harmful UV-light is used, so there is no risk of UV light exposure!
Commonly used UV light poses risks not only to the user but also to the sample. Blue/Green LED technology works within the wavelengths of a light spectrum ranging from 470 nm to 520 nm. This range of light is in the visible spectrum and is not harmful to the user or the DNA sample, making the gel documentation process safer.
One light source for DNA, RNA and proteins! In addition to its remarkable safety, the integrated Blue/Green LED light effectively excites a wide range of common red (incl. EtBr) and green DNA dyes as well as fluorescent proteins with very high intensity. This is achieved by accumulating the light energy absorbed by the fluorophores
