Benchmark Scientific SmartDoc Gel Imaging Platform WITH Integrated Blue LEDs, for Use with Cell-Phone and Tablet Cameras

This is our most affordable gel documentation unit. Perfect for labs of all sizes, and at a price that even a high-school/community college can afford!

Watch this video demonstration for more details.

• Works with smart phones and tablets, including iphone™, iPad™, Samsung, LG, HTC and Droid™
• Instantly share images (text, email or cloud)
• Adjustable focal distance (for optimum focus)
• Works with UV & blue light transilluminators
• Two filter options (for all common stains)
• Blue light does not nick or damage DNA!

To use the SmartDoc, simply place the enclosure over your gel (or transilluminator). Lay your smart phone or tablet onto the non-slip, rubber pad, and align the camera lens over the filter.

Now re-designed with a detachable LED light-source base and includes an orange viewing cover, gel preparation/cutting platform and orange photo filter. 

With the integrated blue LED light source, no additional illuminator is needed! 

Raising and lowering the platform allows optimization of focus and image size. Filters are available for compatibility with multiple light sources and dyes.

While not absolutely required, we do suggest you select the optional 590nm filter when working with UV light and EtBr, and the 535nm filter choice for Sybr Safe dyes. 

Because most UV transilluminators are much larger than the SmartDoc, it can be necessary to add the SmartMat to cover any exposed surface. You can find that product here. 

Images can be previewed on the device's display before capturing the picture. Images are easily shared, printed or transferred via text message, email or cloud sharing apps. See examples of the gel image results here.

Gel analysis software, such as the freeware found at www.gelanalyzer.com, can be used to analyze the image.
