Chemiluminescence capture

Introduction
The chemiluminescence image capture method is available in all configurations of
Amersham Imager 680. The instrument captures the light which is emitted during the
chemical reaction on the membrane. When a colorimetric marker is present in the
sample, an additional color image can be captured using a white light source.
Chemiluminescence image capture is performed
on one to four membranes placed on a Black Tray.
Chemiluminescence image capture with colorimet-
ric markers is performed on one to four mem-
branes placed on a Black Tray with a White In-
sert.
Note:
The White Insert has 2 sides, one for upper tray
position and the other for the lower tray position.
There are two alternative tray positions:
1 Upper tray position:
2 Lower tray position:
