Syngene has announced that a US medical institute, the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Centre (DHMC), is significantly improving detection of proteins associated with spinal cord injuries, using a G:BOX Chemi HR16, Syngene’s fluorescence and chemiluminescence image analyser. Dr Edgar Alfonso Romero-Sandoval, Instructor of Anesthesiology at the DHMC explained: “We switched to a G:BOX Chemi HR16 because it allows us to adjust exposure conditions, (something we couldn’t do with our laser scanner) to detect these tiny protein amounts. Using a G:BOX Chemi HR16 has improved the sensitivity of imaging our Western blots so much, we have been able to reduce the detecting antibody concentration by 2-4 fold and significantly lowered reagent costs.”
