BIO-RAD PHAROSFX PLUS MOLECULAR PHOSPHOR IMAGER/ SCANNER w 488/635nm LASERS GEL

Description

BIO-RAD PHAROSFX PLUS MOLECULAR IMAGER/ SCANNER (BIORAD PHAROS FX PLUS) GELS/ BLOTS/ MICROPLATES PHOSPHORIMAGER w EXTERNAL LASER (488/ 635nm)
Product Specifics
The PharosFX and PharosFX Plus Systems can be used to image many types of samples (such as gels, blots, and microplates) and to support a wide range of imaging applications. The product family covers a broad range of features, including:
Enhanced sensitivity for multiplex fluorescence applications
High sensitivity and precise quantitation for radioisotopes
Flexibility in the choice of emission filters, including custom filters
Ergonomic design for optimized workflow
USB 2.0 interface for easy computer configurations and fast data transfer
Fluorescence Detection
The PharosFX and PharosFX Plus Systems use multiple lasers, which enhances application flexibility. Internal and external laser options allow optimal excitation of single- or multicolor fluorescent samples, permitting the detection of almost any fluorescent dye or label, including ethidium bromide, SYBR® Green I, SYBR® Gold, SYPRO Orange, SYPRO Red, Nile Red, SYPRO Ruby, Deep Purple, Alexa Fluor 488, 532, 546, and 635, FITC, FAM, Cy2, Cy3, Cy5, HEX, R6G, TAMRA, Texas Red, Pro-Q Diamond, and Pro-Q Emerald.
Software-controlled filter wheels accommodate eight filter slots, allowing detection of combinations of dyes. Installation of a custom emission filter allows detection of novel fluorophores with the PharosFX or PharosFX Plus System. For applications requiring additional laser lines, an optional external laser module (up to two lasers) can be added for more flexibility. Optional external 488 nm and 635 nm lasers are available for both systems. These upgrades allow users to change research focus or take advantage of developments in fluorescence chemistry.
All laser and filter combinations are driven by user-friendly Quantity One® 1-D Analysis Software. Simply choose the application, and the software automatically selects the optimal hardware (laser and filter) settings. You can also create custom applications and apply custom emission filters for novel fluorescent probes.

Tests and Observations
The PharosFX Plus scanner powers up and initializes successfully (see photos below for sequence of messages)
The PharosFX Plus scanner communicates with both the External Laser and PC successfully
We've tested the system by selecting different applications (to check the operation of all 3 excitation lasers) loaded with an empty sample tray - see photos and video links below for the respective results
We've tested the filter wheel advance switch on front panel of scanner and we're able to rotate and change/ select the filter position accordingly
Video Links:
Application: Fluorophores CY5 (Low)- Using Laser 635nm
Application: Fluorophores Alexa 488 (Low) - Using Laser 488nm
