• Passive Cooling: Ensures stable, low-noise performance during extended imaging sessions.
• USB-3 Connection: High-speed data transfer for rapid image acquisition and processing.

• One-Click-to-the-Image™: Single-touch auto-exposure, auto-focus, and auto-lighting deliver perfectly exposed images instantly—no manual adjustment required.
• PC-Based Operation: Full-featured software control with intuitive interface for image acquisition and analysis.
• Self-Understandable Interface: Intuitive software menus require minimal training.
• Data Export: 1-click to Excel, 16-bit TIFF format for image storage.

• Software-Controlled Lighting: White-light LED panels with automatic intensity adjustment.
• Optional Epi UV Illumination: Epi UV modules available for TLC plate imaging and specialized applications.
• UV Safety: UV cut-off filter and wide access door with UV safety shut-off protect users during sample loading.
• 10-Position Filter Wheel: Accommodates a wide range of emission filters for multiplex fluorescence applications.
• PadBox™ with Auto Recognition: Slide-out container automatically recognizes the Application Pad inserted, simplifying workflow.
• Robust Construction: Steel and stainless-steel darkroom designed for long-lasting laboratory use.

The Infinity CX5 is uniquely positioned as a future-proof investment. While it excels at fluorescence and colorimetric gel documentation out of the box, the system is designed to be upgradeable to chemiluminescence Western blot imaging as your laboratory's needs evolve. This extendable capability eliminates the need to purchase an entirely new system when transitioning from gel documentation to Western blot analysis.

The included Bio-Vision software (free) provides full GLP compliance with tools for molecular weight calculation, band quantification, colony counting, distance calculation, text annotation, and image enhancement. The system is CFR21 Part 11 ready. Advanced Bio-1D quantification software is available as an optional upgrade for researchers requiring more sophisticated analysis capabilities.

• Apps Studio: Modular software environment for flexible workflow customization.
• 3D Dynamics Scan: Advanced scanning technology for enhanced image depth and clarity.
• SuperResolution: Image processing algorithm that extends effective resolution from 5 MP to 20 MP for 4× more accurate quantitative data.
• ImageMaster™ Assistant: Intelligent image optimization assistant for consistent, high-quality results.

• DNA & RNA Gels: Ethidium bromide, Sybr-Safe, Sybr-Green, Gel-Red, Gel-Green, Sybr-Gold.
• Fluorescence Imaging: GFP, Pro-Q Emerald, Sypro Ruby, FITC, DAPI.
• Colorimetric Protein Gels: Coomassie blue, Silver stain, Ponceau S Red, Copper stain.
• Other Applications: X-Ray film, autorads, SSCP gels, colony dish and flask imaging, EPI white light applications.
• Safe DNA/RNA Detection: Sky-Pad or blue light conversion screen for nicking-free detection of Sybr Safe, Sybr Green, and eGFP samples.
• Upgradeable to: Chemiluminescence Western blot imaging.

• UV-Pad — 312 nm or dual wavelength 312 and 365 nm
