Molecular Dynamics Low Energy Storage Phosphor Screen
35 x 43 cm Screen / 20 x 25 cm Storage
Item Description:
Molecular Dynamics, Storage Phosphor Screen, Size: 35 x 43 cm, Storage phosphor screens retain energy from beta particles, X-rays, and gamma rays, and require exposure times that are 50% to 90% shorter than that of conventional film. Upon laser-induced stimulation, light is emitted from the storage phosphor screen in proportion to the amount of radioactivity in the sample. Screen Styles Mounted screens are permanently fixed to an aluminum backing plate. They require an exposure cassette. Older PhosphorImager™ Systems require mounted screens. Mounted screens are also compatible with Typhoon™ and Storm™ systems, but not with Typhoon FLA 9000 and Typhoon FLA 7000 imagers.
Low-energy storage phosphor screen
If you use the Typhoon instrument for applications that require more
sensitivity, you should use the low-energy (LE) storage phosphor screen. The
phosphor layer of the LE screen is coated with a thin layer of the durable
cellulose acetate overlay and a small amount of iodide, which increases the
efficiency of the energy stored and released by the screen.
You can use the LE screen to record 33P, 35S, and 14C emissions. Typical
samples that can be exposed to an LE screen include 35S sequencing gels,
35S protein gels, and 33P macroarrays.
Caution You should handle the LE screen carefully. Scratching the surface of the screen
will remove the thin protective overlay. Always follow the guidelines and
instructions provided in chapter 5 when handling the LE screen.
