Bio-5000 Plus
Dual-scan beds: 8"x10" / Gel & Transparent, 8.5"x14" / Reflective
Auto-Focus Ensures the Best Scanning Quality
Auto Focus is able to change relative distances between the scanned gels and the CCD through the adjustment of the CCD, resulting in better and clearer image quality for a chosen area of the scan automatically.
The Design of Leak-Free Holders for Electrophoresis Gels
With the design of two platforms and leak-free holders, it is not only convenient to scan electrophoresis gels but also lowers the possibility of the happenings for mutual infection in labs.

Features List
Dual-Platform Architecture：Features an 8” x 10” transparency platform for biological gels/films and an 8.5” x 14” reflective bed for documents, maximizing laboratory workflow efficiency.
Patented Leak-Free Glass Holders：Equipped with specialized, removable liquid-tight glass trays for wet electrophoresis gels. These can be washed directly under water, entirely preventing sample cross-contamination.
Smart Auto-Focus Technology：Automatically adjusts the distance between the high-res 4800 dpi CCD sensor and the sample, capturing precise layer gradations and crystal-clear band details.
Wide Optical Density Range：Offers a wide dynamic range (0.05D to 3.7D, 3.77 Dmax), guaranteeing high-fidelity detail preservation in both faint, light areas and dense, dark bands.
Seamless Regulatory Integration：Delivers native 48-bit color and 16-bit grayscale data directly to imaging software, eliminating unsafe temporary storage to fully support audit trails in FDA 21 CFR Part 11 compliant environments.
Applications / Use Cases
Electrophoresis & SDS-PAGE Profiling：Specially designed to scan and digitize 1D or 2D wet/dry electrophoresis gels stained with Coomassie blue, silver stain, or autoradiography.
Western Blotting & Membranes：Perfect for capturing high-contrast images of blotting membranes, chemiluminescent samples, and dot/slot blots for precise molecular weight analysis.
Pharmaceutical Quality Control & Compliant Labs：Ideal for research labs and pharma facilities requiring seamless integration with validation software (like LabImage 1D) for compliant scientific paper documentation.
Academic & Biotech Data Archiving：Tailored for university labs to quickly benchmark molecular gradations, pI-determinations, and quantitative genetic mappings while storing paper lab reports on the same machine.
