Bio-Rad Gel Doc XR+

This used Bio-Rad Gel Doc XR+ system provides high resolution documentation of stained gels for nucleic acid and protein electrophoresis applications. The instrument combines a 12-bit CCD camera with a UV transilluminator to capture detailed images of ethidium bromide stained DNA gels, Coomassie stained protein gels, and other common staining chemistries used in molecular biology workflows. Its enclosed imaging chamber blocks ambient light for consistent, reproducible results across repeated runs. Paired with Image Lab software, the Gel Doc XR+ allows users to quantify band intensities, perform molecular weight estimation, and export publication quality images, making it a dependable tool for labs that need more than basic gel photography. It has been widely adopted in academic research, biotech quality control, and core imaging facilities for everyday gel analysis tasks. This pre-owned Gel Doc XR+ remains a reliable option for labs seeking proven gel documentation performance at a lower cost than new equipment. It suits research and QC environments where consistent, quantifiable gel imaging is part of the daily workflow.
