The powerful stand alone device fits in every lab space. All red and green DNA dyes are easily detectable with this system. In addition to the Blue/Green LED light, the FastGene® FAS-BG LED BOX also includes **Epi White LED light** for petri dishes and membranes and **white back light** for easy detection of protein gels. ##### NEW MODEL 2022 The FastGene® FAS-BG LED BOX is the new version of the imaging box formerly known as FastGene® Blue/Green GelPic LED BOX from 2015. **New features:** - Integrated touchscreen for easiest handling - HDMI port for convenient connection to an external monitor ![FastGene FAS-BG LED BOX, touch screen display](https://www.nippongenetics.eu/app/uploads/gp-04-fas-bg-led-box-screen.jpg) _The large touch screen display and inbuild software allows easy navigation and image capturing._ ##### One imaging system – multiple applications - The [Blue/Green LED technology](https://pages.nippongenetics.eu/blue/green-led-technology) permits the detection of DNA with highest sensitivity and without harming your eyes, skin or your sample. ![](https://www.nippongenetics.eu/app/uploads/gp-04led-fas-bg-led-box-blue-green-light.png) - With the **white LED array** you can image colorimetric protein gels stained with coomassie or silver staining. The white LED light transilluminator of the the FAS-BG LED BOX is located in the upper lid of the device. It allows efficient illumination of transparent protein gels, colorimetrically stained, e.g., with “Coomassie blue”. ![](https://www.nippongenetics.eu/app/uploads/gp-04led-fas-bg-led-box-white-light.png) - The **white LED epi-illumination** allows the documentation of opaque surfaces such as petri dishes or membranes. ![FastGene FAS-BG LED BOX (GP-04LED) open with white light](https://www.nippongenetics.eu/app/uploads/gp-04-bg-led-box-open-white-light.png) ##### Excise your DNA fragments the easy way The FastGene® FAS-BG LED BOX comes with an amber filter shield that can be fastened on the upper lid. The **amber filter shield filters** out the Blue/Green LED excitation wavelengths and allows a clear visualization of DNA bands. ![FastGene FAS-BG LED BOX (GP-04LED) with amber shield](https://www.nippongenetics.eu/app/uploads/gp-04led-fas-bg-led-box-with-amber-shield.png) ##### Easy connection to an external (touch) monitor The FastGene® FAS-BG LED BOX contains two **USB-ports** (one front, one back) and an **HDMI-port**. You can easily connect an external (touch) monitor via the HDMI-port and view your gel images on a larger screen. The device also supports the connection of a thermal printer via USB (Sony UP-D897 MD and Sony UP-D898 MD). ![](https://www.nippongenetics.eu/app/uploads/gp-04led-fas-bg-led-box-external-monitor.png) ### Applications ##### Get great signal with red or green DNA dyes The new LED technology enables the detection of DNA from red as well as green DNA dyes. Below are images taken with the FastGene® FAS-BG LED Box. For comparison reasons, the 1.5% agarose gels made with TAE Buffer were stained with Ethidium Bromide or with [Midori Green Advance](https://www.nippongenetics.eu/en/products/electrophoresis-dna-rna/nucleic-acid-stains/midori-green-advance/) recommended concentrations and loaded with 5 µL DNA Ladder. Additionally, the 5 µL DNA ladder was stained using [Midori Green Direct](https://www.nippongenetics.eu/en/products/electrophoresis-dna-rna/nucleic-acid-stains/midori-green-direct/) and added to an unstained gel: Gel stained with **[Midori Green Advance:](https://www.nippongenetics.eu/en/products/electrophoresis-dna-rna/nucleic-acid-stains/midori-green-advance/)** ![FAS-BG LED BOX - Gel stained with Midori Green Advance](https://www.nippongenetics.eu/app/uploads/gp-04led-gel-MGA-150x150.jpg) Gel stained with **Ethidium bromide:** ![FAS-BG LED BOX - Gel stained with EtBr](https://www.nippongenetics.eu/app/uploads/gp-04led-gel-EtBr-150x150.jpg) Gel stained with **[Midori Green Direct:](https://www.nippongenetics.eu/en/products/electrophoresis-dna-rna/nucleic-acid-stains/midori-green-direct/)** ![FAS-BG LED BOX - Gel stained Midori Green Direct](https://www.nippongenetics.eu/app/uploads/gp-04led-gel-MGD-150x150.jpg) ##### Documentation of petri dishes, protein gels and Western Blot images - Colorimetric protein gels can be visualized with **white LED ligh**t. - The **white epi light** is used fo the document opaque surfaces such as Petri dishes or membranes ![FastGene FAS-BG LED BOX (GP-04LED) multiple applications](https://www.nippongenetics.eu/app/uploads/gp-04-bg-led-box-multiple-applications.jpg) ### Specifications ##### Image capture Camera 8 Mega Pixel cameraImage formatTIFF, JPEG and PNGExposure time0.2 – 2 sec, 21 exposure steps##### Light scources Light sources- Blue/Green LED transilluminator - Epi White Light - White LED light transilluminator Transilluminated area160 mm x 115 mm##### Display / Software / Connections Display5” color LCD touch panelSoftwareInbuilt control softwareConnections- USB 2.0 port (1x front, 1x back) - 1x HDMI port - Thermal printer support PrinterSupported printer: Sony [UP-X898MD (view product)](https://www.nippongenetics.eu/en/products/gel-documentation/thermal-printer/videoprinter-upx-989md/).##### General information Power12V, 4.16 ADimensions (H x D x W)230 mm x 254 mm x 207 mmGel toolsAmber field shieldWeight3.2 kg### Downloads ##### Manual [Manual | FastGene FAS-BG LED BOX (GP-04LED)](https://www.nippongenetics.eu/app/uploads/gp-4led-fas-bg-led-box-manual.pdf) ##### Flyer [Flyer | FastGene FAS-BG LED BOX (GP-04LED)](https://www.nippongenetics.eu/app/uploads/fas-bg-led-box-flyer.pdf) ##### Brochure [Brochure | Gel Documentation Systems](https://www.nippongenetics.eu/app/uploads/brochure-gel-documentation-systems.pdf) ##### Whitepaper [Whitepaper | Blue/Green Technology – The future of gel documentation is now!](https://www.nippongenetics.eu/app/uploads/whitepaper-blue-green-technology-the-future-of-gel-documentation.pdf) ### FAQ ##### Can the system be connected to an external screen or external touch screen?
