Typhoon

Typhoon 9410 is a high performance gel and blot imager with the capability of microarray analysis. It offers three methods of detection: storage phosphor, fluorescence and chemiluminescence.

  • Versatile system handles gel sandwiches, agarose and polyacrylamide gels, membranes, microplates and microarrays
  • Powerful excitation sources and innovative high quality confocal optics allow for the sensitive detection of the low abundance targets in artifact-free images
  • Red, green, and blue excitation wavelengths and a wide choice of emission filters enable imaging of an extensive variety of fluorophores
  • Automated four-color fluorescence scanning allows multiplexing of multiple targets in the same sample ensuring accuracy of analysis, increasing throughput, and saving time
  • Storage phosphor technology delivers high-resolution imaging and accurate quantitation of 3H, 14C, 125I, 32P, 33P, 35S, and other sources of ionizing radiation
  • Highly sensitive optics enable direct chemiluminescent imaging without intermediate exposures to films or screens
  • A choice of Typhoon models means the most suitable instrument can be selected depending on the targets of interest. Furthermore, Typhoon can be upgraded as the operator's specific research needs develop.



A microarray slide, spotted with cDNA from Amersham Biosciences ScoreCard™ control plate and cDNA from Incyte Genomics, Inc. using GenIII Spotter, was hybridized with 25pmole of Cy™3 - labelled skeletal muscle mRNA and Cy5-labeled liver mRNA. The slide was scanned on Typhoon 9410 at 10 µm pixel size resolution.
