AR-2000 TLC Imaging Scanner
The AR-2000 Imaging Scanner has become the industry
"gold standard" for TLC quality control. The system
provides direct digital counting of all radioisotopes,
including 3H, on TLC plates, gels, and blots.
Direct counting guarantees quantitative accuracy for
important metabolism experiments and radiochemical
purity measurements. The instrument is linear over 4-5
decades of activity, a range 100-1000 times greater than
the linear range of X-ray film.
The scanner uses a gas-filled proportional counter,
which can detect all beta and gamma emitting isotopes.
An entire TLC lane can be imaged in less than one
minute, which is usually sufficient to analyze and
calculate the purity of a compound. If several compounds
are made in the laboratory, multiple lanes can be
analyzed in a single automated run without operator
intervention.
The system includes WinScan instrument control and data
acquisition software. Results are presented as
chromatograms or 2D images. Quantitation of peaks is
automatically performed and a report showing the method
used, chromatogram, and percent of total activity for
each peak is provided.
