Introducing Touch Imager Technology
E-Blot Touch Imager redefines what's possible in quantitative protein analysis — merging simplicity with power to give researchers unprecedented imaging clarity, speed, and accuracy.
- Simultaneous strong + faint signal
- Oversized CMOS sensor (up to 158 cm²)
- High-density photosites
- No saturation, wide dynamic range
- 1-second image capture
A Paradigm Shift in Quantitative Western Blot Imaging
Touch Imagers offer a new standard in sensitivity, accuracy, and workflow efficiency. Unlike traditional CCD-based systems that require multiple exposures, the Touch Imager captures both faint and intense signals simultaneously in a single shot.
At the core is a large, high-density photo sensor chip designed to capture a wide range of intensities. This boosts detection of low-abundance proteins while ensuring accurate quantification of high-abundance targets without saturation.
Engineered for Precision: Sensor Architecture
High-Density Design for Unmatched Imaging Performance
The Touch Imager's architecture features a large-area sensor and a dense array of photosites that work together to deliver enhanced signal acquisition, heightened sensitivity, and a broad dynamic range — three essentials for precise quantitative Western blotting.
Detect even the faintest bands while preventing saturation from strong signals — reducing errors and eliminating the need for multiple exposures.
Larger Sensor, Greater Signal: Why Size Matters
No Saturation, No Compromise — Up to 158 cm² Sensor Area
Compared to typical CCD chips (~1.2 cm²), the Touch Imager's sensor spans up to 158 cm². This vastly increased surface area delivers measurable advantages:
- Captures significantly more light
- Enhances detection of low-abundance proteins
- Reduces false negatives
- Delivers higher confidence in quantitative results
Especially in samples where certain proteins are present at low concentrations, this size advantage is critical.
| Imaging Method | Sensor Area | Pixel Size | Signal Loss |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cooled CCD | ~ 1.2 cm² | ~ 5 µm × 5 µm | ~ 90% |
| Touch Imager | up to 158 cm² | 100 µm × 100 µm | 0% |
Accurate Quantification of High-Abundance Proteins
Saturation-Free Imaging Across All Protein Levels
Signal saturation distorts results in CCD systems. The Touch Imager's wide dynamic range and signal acquisition capacity provide reliable data every time:
- Saturation-free imaging
- Reliable quantification across varied protein levels
- A one-image solution for high and low signals alike
This ensures reproducible data and accurate measurement, even in complex samples.
