Equipment in Microscopy and Imaging Core:

Short Description: Typhoon is an advanced laser-based biomolecular imaging system designed for the detection of fluorescence, chemiluminescence, and radioactive signals. The instrument enables precise visualization and quantitative analysis of DNA, RNA, proteins, and other biomolecular samples in the laboratory.

Masiu fotometras 2MPProduser: Cytiva

Equipment Information: 

Capabilities:

  • Detection range: from the weakest fluorescence signals to strong chemiluminescent emissions
  • High dynamic range scanning (wide signal range)
  • Ability to perform multiple scans and detect several labels simultaneously
  • Integration with software for quantitative and qualitative data analysis

Purpose / Usage:

  • Molecular biology studies: analysis of DNA/RNA fragments, Northern, Southern, and Western blotting
  • Proteomics research: protein detection and quantification
  • Nanotechnology or chemistry laboratories requiring precise detection of fluorescence or chemiluminescence signals

Applications:

  • Academic and industrial laboratories
  • Biotechnology, pharmaceutical, and diagnostic research
  • Educational and research institutions requiring precise quantitative biomolecular analysis

Operating Principle:

  1. Laser light is directed onto the sample, which may contain fluorescent, chemiluminescent, or radioactive labels.
  2. Labels absorb energy and emit photons, which are detected by the detector.
  3. The system uses optical filters to separate signals from different labels (multichannel detection).
  4. Captured images are converted into digital format, enabling intensity and localization analysis.
  5. Software corrects background noise, adjusts scanning parameters, and provides quantitative results.
