ODYSSEY® DLx

Do more with digital fluorescence.

Part of an Integrated Solution
Go Where Your Research Takes You

The Odyssey DLx Imaging System is a 2-channel near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent imager capable of producing high-quality Western blots, multi-well plate assays, tissue section images, and more. As an effective, high-throughput imager, the Odyssey DLx Imager takes exceptional, unsaturated images in a single acquisition without sacrificing image fidelity. Identical optical settings are used for every acquisition, and its advanced laser technology delivers highly sensitive imaging with over six logs of dynamic range. The Odyssey DLx, along with our optimized reagents and intuitive software, is part of an integrated solution to deliver the most accurate and reproducible data possible. Plus, LICORbio’s Odyssey technology is supported by decades of NIR imaging expertise and over 40,000 citations in peer-reviewed journals.

 
ADVANTAGES

EMBRACE DIGITAL FLUORESCENCE

Get consistent, accurate digital images, without the hassle and unpredictability of film. Fluorescent signals are stable and unaffected by timing, so you can compare band intensities with confidence. You can even re-image the same blot on the Odyssey DLx later and see the same results.

ACCESS MORE APPLICATIONS

Western blots, cell-based assays, protein gels, gel shift assays, tissue section imaging, and more are at your fingertips with near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence on the Odyssey DLx.

EXPAND YOUR THROUGHPUT

To image and analyze many samples efficiently, use the Odyssey DLx to scan up to 9 mini-blots, 6 microplates, or 30 slides at the same time. The large scanning bed provides high throughput for many assays.

CAPTURE ALL YOUR DATA

One digital image file contains all your data so you can see both strong and faint signals clearly in a single image, without saturation, “blowout,” or reduced sensitivity. Increase the consistency and reliability of your results by capturing a single image with the Odyssey DLx, rather than multiple exposures under variable conditions.

UNLOCK TWO-COLOR MULTIPLEXING

Use secondary antibodies labeled with spectrally distinct NIR fluorescent dyes to get more data from your blot. View, adjust, and analyze your results as a merged image, or as separate 700 nm and 800 nm channel images in pseudo-color or grayscale.

EXPERIENCE TRUE 6-LOG DYNAMIC RANGE

Never lose your data because of image saturation. Digital fluorescent detection with the Odyssey DLx shows your strong signals as they really are. Film and CCD imagers only show you part of the picture, because data are lost when images become saturated.

APPLICATIONS Multi-functional Odyssey DLx imagers incorporate decades of expertise in quantitative biological assays to greatly expand your lab's capabilities.
