LumiBlot Near-Field Chemi Imager

The Hoefer LumiBlot Near-Field Chemi Imager is a breakthrough imaging platform that combines ultra-high chemiluminescence sensitivity with next-generation near-field detection technology. Designed to overcome the limitations of traditional cooled CCD systems, LumiBlot delivers an order-of-magnitude improvement in sensitivity, quantitative performance, and workflow efficiency—empowering researchers to obtain faster, clearer, and more reliable blotting results. With imaging times as short as 200 ms, a 6 OD dynamic range, and multi-device connectivity, the LumiBlot redefines what is possible in Western blot imaging.

• Ultra-Sensitive Detection: 100× more sensitive than traditional cooled CCD systems—detect even the weakest chemiluminescence signals with confidence.
• Lightning-Fast Imaging: Capture results in just 200 ms to 1 second for most samples. No more long exposure waits.
• Wide Dynamic Range: 6 OD range captures both strong and weak signals simultaneously in a single exposure with precision.
• Lens-Free Near-Field Imaging: Eliminates optical diffraction for ultra-clear images. Ultra-short light path ensures lossless signal transfer, breaking the limitations of conventional lens-based systems.
• High-Performance Anti-Reflection Films: Special multi-layer interference films maximize light utilization and reduce reflection to near zero, improving both sensitivity and image clarity.
• Large-Area CMOS Sensor: 170 cm² sensor with 96 μm × 96 μm pixels and ≥ 6,000,000 e⁻ full well capacity enables high-sensitivity imaging and precise quantification.
• Low-Noise Performance: Excellent weak-light detection with minimal background noise.
• Multi-Device Connectivity: Control and view results from monitors, laptops, tablets, and smartphones—work from any device in your lab.
• OTA Software Upgrades: Online software updates ensure your system stays current with the latest features and improvements.
• Automatic Sample Chamber: Electrical entry and exit mechanism achieves ideal darkroom standards automatically.
• Neural-Network Accelerated Chip: Built-in high-performance CPU and neural-network chip deliver precise, rapid image analysis.
• Sleek Aluminum Design: Textured aluminium alloy chassis ensures effective heat dissipation and long-term stability in a compact 4 kg footprint.

• Guided Workflow: Simple, intuitive step-by-step operation for effortless image acquisition.
• Gallery Management: Easy image sorting, searching, editing, and sharing.
• HSD / HRD Modes: Flexible high-sensitivity and high-resolution capture options for different sample needs.
• Auto Marker Integration: Clear, automatic molecular weight display on captured images.
