• LI-COR are VERY good at marketing!• Very strong at promoting IR & Far Red• The Odyssey systems are not so good for

chemi westerns…• Neither is the low end option from LI-COR….• The C-Digit!

Mid RangeS Y N G E N E

A D I V I S I O N O F T H E S Y N O P T I C S G R O U P

LI-COR C-Digit• Designed to be a very low cost chemi

only system…• Image area:

10.0 cm x 8.5 cm• Resolution:

196 µm x 196 µm• Detector type:

Low-noise CCD• Acquisition times:

Approximately 6 (standard) and 12 (high) minutes – WOW!!!

Mid RangeS Y N G E N E

A D I V I S I O N O F T H E S Y N O P T I C S G R O U P

LI-COR C-Digit

• Customers have tested it… results are not too good

• But price is very low…• So the market has been

stimulated to a low price, chemi only system……

Mid RangeS Y N G E N E

A D I V I S I O N O F T H E S Y N O P T I C S G R O U P

GeneGnome!!• LI-COR have spent thousands

£ in promoting the C-Digit• More customers are now

interested in the GeneGnome systems than ever before!

• GeneGnome– same camera as XRQ

• Results are superb• Prices are “similar” to C-Digit

Mid RangeS Y N G E N E

A D I V I S I O N O F T H E S Y N O P T I C S G R O U P

GeneGnome

• Direct light capture – no scanning on GeneGnome• Scanning is not good with chemi as signal decreases with

time• GeneGnome - ability to bin to increase sensitivity• GeneGnome - ability to have control of the system• C-Digit is a basic scanner – GeneGnome is a dedicated,

specialist camera instrument• Expect interest lots of interest for GeneGnome!!
