PADBOX™ SYSTEM OR BUILT-IN TRANSILLUMINATOR

We offer two versions of the E-Box CX5: the transilluminator

version and the PadBox version. The transilluminator version
is equipped with a slide-out UV table for easier sample
handling. It is very convenient to position and to cut the gel
outside the cabinet and then to slide it inside for acquisition.
The PadBox version can also be slid out of the darkroom and
can accommodate a very easily removable Application Pad.

As gel documentation moves from single UV excitation

source to a wide variety of lighting options, the PadBox
concept meets the need for accommodating several
interchangeable light sources into one device. The PadBox
can easily integrate one of the several available Application
Pads such as our UV, blue, white light or Spectra Pad or
your own hardware such as heater, cooler, electrophoresis
tank, special light source etc. The Application Pad is
automatically recognized by the E-Box CX5 and the
imaging and software options are adjusted accordingly.

We offer a choice of more than 10 different Application

Pads for excitation in the UV, the blue, the green and the
red spectrums.

THE APPS STUDIO™ APPLICATION LIBRARY

The E-Box CX5 can accommodate up to 6 excitation

channels in the UV and visible area. This is ideal for a large
array of applications such as DNA or RNA gels, 1D protein
fluorescent gels, stain free gels…

A large number of dyes and stains could be used such

as Ethidium Bromide, Sybr-Safe, Sybr-Green, Gel-Red, Gel-
Green, Sybr-gold, GFP, Pro-Q Emerald 300, Sypro-Ruby, FITC, 40 different application protocols

DAPI, Coomassie blue, silver stain, Ponceau S Red, copper

stain, zinc stain…

The E-Box CX5 includes our revolutionary Apps Studio

approach to imaging. The Apps Studio is an innovative
library of applications which contains more than 40 different
protocols for your gel, colony dish, microplate and other
fluorescent or colorimetric samples. A large number of stains can be imaged

The Apps Studio contains the excitation and the emission

spectra of the main fluorophores used in modern molecular
biology laboratory. It also suggests the best possible
system configuration in terms of light source excitation,
emission filter and sensitivity level. The Apps Studio ensures
reproducibility and one click image acquisition for the best
ease of use. Real time 3D Scan

CONFIGURATIONS AND OPTIONS

We offer two versions of the E-Box CX5: the transilluminator version and the Pad version. In the Pad version, the Pad is
removable from the cabinet. This is not the case for the transilluminator version.

 ULTRA SENSITIVE IMAGING & SUPER RESOLUTION
Using the most advanced back illuminated sensor technology
to collect more light, in combination with our unique state of the art
motorized zoom lens, the E-Box CX5 offers the best sensitivity
and speed, and reaches the lowest limits of detection for gel
documentation applications. For fluorescence, ultra-sensitive
detection capability facilitates the use of shorter excitation
exposure, thereby reducing photobleaching and phototoxicity
and lowering dye concentrations.

The E-Box CX5 technology provides

unparalleled 5 megapixel native resolution
and 7.6 extended resolution without
compromising read noise, dynamic range,
field of view and sensitivity. This means up to
4 times more accurate and more quantitative
data compared to competitors.

Our CX5 scientific grade camera has been

specifically designed for quantitative scientific
imaging and signal measurement.

Our new camera generation produces

excellent results in low light conditions, with
noise level being half that of previous levels.
As a result, you experience a higher visual
image with a very high level of detail and more
quantitative information.

ONE CLICK TO THE IMAGE

The E-Box CX5 has unrivalled ease of use thanks to its

built-in computer controlled camera, lens and lighting.
With just one click, the system will automatically capture
the best possible image. Select your application, click
on Start and automatically the system will light on the
transilluminator, adjust the lens, auto-expose and switch
off the UV. The image acquisition process is as quick as
AutoExposure: just one click to the image
instinctive.

The E-Box CX5 includes our unique Dynamic 3D scan

technology. The 3D Dynamic Scan images your sample
in real time and reconstructs the data to create live three
dimensional models. The 3D reconstruction provides direct
information regarding the image dynamic, background level
and protein or DNA quantity. A little change of exposure
time will refresh the 3D view automatically. The saturation

The E-Box CX5 has rich features and guides you into the
advanced functions in a very ergonomically designed user
interface. The simple and self-understandable menu is ideal
in a multi-user environment.
