There is a bewildering array of entry level gel documentation systems available these days. Most do exactly what they say on the box in that they can capture images of your gels and blots. So in many cases the customer will just opt for something within their budget and have a high expectation that it will do the job. The Omega Fluor and Omega Fluor Plus from Gel Company/Aplegen will do just that and there is no need to look any further.
However, the Omega Fluor and Omega Fluor Plus are more than just run-of-the-mill gel documentation systems. These systems give you everything you need for exception DNA and protein imaging, plus they are also packed with features that you only expect to see on much higher specification and hence higher price range products....
