ProPic™ II

Setting a New Benchmark in Gel Imaging and Picking

The Investigator™ ProPic II is one component of the Proteomic System suite of instruments, providing a continuous information stream for your proteomic research. The ProPic II allows fully integrated, single platform image acquisition combined with excision of protein features from electrophoresis gels. Unlike a multi-instrument system, the ProPic II is a more cost effective solution and eliminates operational complexity prior to downstream sample preparation for mass spectrometry. The ProPic II DIGE offers all the features of the ProPic II plus seamless integration with 2D Differential Gel Electrophoresis (DIGE).

It offers:

  • Imaging & Picking integrated onto a single platform
  • Unique, High-Resolution, Built-in Imaging – 16-bit Scanning, Cooled Camera (CCD)
  • Unparalleled Picking accuracy – a minimum of 10x improvement over currently available technology
  • Easy-to-Use "Click & Pick" Software
  • Seamless Integration with DIGE, allowing Spot Excision directly from 2D Gels using the DeCyder® pick list
  • Direct Imaging & Picking from backed and non-backed gels stained with all commonly used fluorescent and visible stains
  • Collection plates compatible with ProPrep and ProGest / ProMS
  • Full Gel Environment Control – Light-tight enclosure, optional HEPA filtration, cooling & humidification
  • Small Footprint
