Alpha innotech hd2

The Alpha Innotech HD2 is a versatile imaging system with numerous applications.  One of those applications is imaging planar based arrays.  These arrays, known as Quansys Multiplex ELISAs, are protein arrays preassembled in the bottom of a 96 well plate.  Using the Alpha Innotech HD2, the chemiluminescent response produced by the multiplex ELISA is visualized and recorded as a TIFF image file.  Image analysis, curve fitting and sample calculations are facilitated by importing the Alpha Innotech HD2 generated image into Quansys Q-View Software.   In order to help educate the customer on how to use the Alpha Innotech HD2 for the Q-Plex technology, a training video has been made.

The imaging system has been used extensively with the Quansys Array System. We suggest a 1-4 minute exposure with an aperture set at the lowest setting.  Also make sure the system is set at the open filter position as well as the adjustable tray to the lowest level. Click on normal ultra resolution with noise reduction. With these settings in mind, double check that they are applicable to your system as there is some slight system to system variability.

For assistance on using this device with the Q-Plex arrays, contact us for more information on how to set up this imager and to optimize your results by increasing the dynamic range of your assay as well as removing vignetting and parallax using the Q-View software.
