Unparalleled Fine-Structure Imaging Performance

Whether you are in the life sciences or physical sciences, today's scientific investigations require that your imaging system be versatile enough to handle multiple applications and provide data that is far more precise and reproducible than ever before. Fujifilm's BAS-2500 was developed with this in mind.

BAS-2500 Meets Your Needs

If your research calls for electrophoresis, blots, macroarrays, in-situ hybridization receptor binding assays, thin layer chromatography, or whole body autoradiography, the BAS-2500 can meet all your needs. Perhaps you are in the physical and material sciences and your imaging calls for X-ray crystallography, semiconductor, water checking, and later, non-destructive testing. Again, the BAS-2500 will meet your needs. Regardless of discipline of application, most scientists agree, the better your imaging the more likely your efforts will lead to insight and discovery. This is why the BAS-2500, incorporating Fujifilm's patented phosphor Imaging Plate (IP) is a valuable part of every laboratory.

The BAS-2500 Scanner's speed and accuracy equal unparalleled throughput The BAS-2500 is the system of choice for high-density DNA hybridization arrays. It provides spatial resolution adequate for many tissue studies in pharmacokinetics and toxicology. With a dynamic range up to five orders of magnitude, incomparable image quality is guaranteed.

High Throughput, Superior Sensitivity, and Accuracy

With a Fujifilm BAS-2500, a complete 20 x 40 cm imaging plate can be scanned within five minutes at 16 bits. And this high throughput is achieved without sacrificing superior sensitivity and quantitative accuracy.

A reusable Imaging Plate is 100x more sensitive than X-ray film The Fujifilm IP is a reusable two-dimensional sensor for the detection and storage of ionizing radiation energy in photostimulable phosphor crystals. Fujifilm IPs are approximately 100 times more sensitive than X-ray film and have greater quantitative accuracy. When Fujifilm IPs and the BAS-2500 system replace standard X-ray film and processing, your results are 10 to 100 times faster. And because Fujifilm IPs are more sensitive than X-ray film, they capture information unobtainable using X-ray film autoradiography. All  of these advantages can be enjoyed without the need for processing chemicals or a darkroom. While other phosphor imaging systems have come and gone, Fujifilm scanners and imaging plates remain the standard by which others are measured.

The BAS-2500's range of recommended applications includes Molecular Biology (1D electrophoresis, 2D electrophoresis, DNA & protein blots and macro arrays); pharmacokinetics and toxicology (whole body autoradiography); physical and material structural analysis (X-ray crystallography, semiconductor wafer check and non-destructive testing).
