ProPic

The Proven Reliable Workhorse for Automated Gel Imaging, Analysis, & Picking

The Investigator ProPic Robotic Workstation is a fully automated spot cutter for high throughput harvesting of protein spots of interest.

It offers:

  • Gel imaging, analysis, & picking on one platform
  • CCD-based imaging (12-bit)
  • Patented picking technology
  • Direct Imaging & Picking from backed and non-backed gels stained with all commonly used flourescent and visible stains
  • HT Analyzer gel analysis Software
  • Seamless Integration with DIGE, allowing spot excision directly from 2D gels using the DeCyder® pick list
  • Wide range of spot cutting tips & wash station
  • Collection plates compatible with ProPrep and ProGest / ProMS
  • Light-tight enclosure & Gel Hydration

Typical applications:
