Product Introduction
The HM-CL-4 is a multi-mode imaging system designed for laboratories that need both high-sensitivity chemiluminescence detection and routine gel documentation in a single instrument. It integrates UV transillumination, white-light epi-illumination, and cooled CMOS chemiluminescence imaging, enabling researchers to switch between protein blotting and nucleic acid gel workflows without changing equipment.
At its core is the same 9-megapixel cooled CMOS sensor found in the HM-CL-2, cooled to -25 °C for low-noise long-exposure capture. A 590 nm narrow-band filter and F0.95 high-transmittance lens preserve weak chemiluminescent signals, while a 302 nm UV source provides bright, uniform excitation for ethidium bromide and SYBR-stained gels.
The 15.6-inch touchscreen runs an integrated operating system with preset templates for common applications, reducing training time and minimizing setup errors. For guidance on choosing between the HM-CL-2 and HM-CL-4, see our cost-performance analysis.
