Compact instrument − Fits in all labs
With a compact dark box body made of highest quality coated aluminium, the stand alone device has been designed for labs that need a powerful gel documentation system but only have limited benchtop space.
Large illumination area − Comfortable use with large and multiple gels
The FAS-DIGI Compact comes with a huge Blue/Green LED transilluminator (21 cm x 26 cm) giving a large illuminiation area for various gel sizes.

Blue/Green LED technology (instead of UV-light) − Valuable DNA, eyes and skin are protected
Using UV-light transilluminators affects you and your sample. Exposing yourself to the dangerous light source can harm your eyes and skin and damage your DNA sample for further downstream applications.
This is why the FastGene® FAS-DIGI Compact includes a large transilluminator with Blue/Green LED technology. Blue/Green LEDs protect your sample and yourself from harmful UV-light exposure. Designed for guaranteed safe and easy handling.

High standard camera − Great recognition and separation of even faint bands
Even faint bands can be detected with the high standard 24 MPixel Canon EOS DSLR camera. You can extract small gel image areas in very high resolution and best quality.
The camera has a rotable and swiveling touch-screen display for very comfortable usage.
