Frequently Asked Questions
Autoradiography  

Amersham Hyperfilm ECL  

  • Superior contrast and improved band visibility in your results.
  • Publication-quality images¾the risk of visible artifacts (e.g. plastic wrap marks) is reduced due to the improved antistatic coating.
  • Easier reading of images without compromising on sensitivity due to the clear, colorless base.
  • Improved detection of lower concentration targets through longer exposure times without increasing the background.
  • Greater confidence in results¾Hyperfilm ECL™ suitable for use with all blue and green light chemiluminescent systems and validated for use with Amersham ECL, Amersham ECL Plus, Amersham ECL Advance™ and CDP-Star™.
  • Ease of use¾Amersham Hyperfilm ECL can be processed in automatic processors or manually using most common X-ray film developers and fixers.
  • Applications¾chemiluminescent detection in Western, Southern, and Northern blots.

Amersham Hyperfilm MP  

  • Superior contrast and improved band visibility in your results.
  • Publication-quality images¾the risk of visible artifacts (e.g. plastic wrap marks) is reduced due to the improved antistatic coating.
  • Easier reading of images without compromising on sensitivity due to the clear, colorless base.
  • Improved detection of lower concentration targets through longer exposure times without increasing the background.
  • Increased flexibility¾Hyperfilm MP suitable for detection of 3H, 14C, 32P, 33P, 35S, 125I in direct or indirect autoradiography.
  • Ease of use Amersham Hyperfilm MP is processed using automatic processors or manually using most common laboratory X-ray film developers and fixers.

Amersham Hyperfilm™ 3H  

  • A speciality film with a single emulsion and no anti-scratch layer for the direct autoradiography of 3H.
  • Ideal for whole body autoradiography, in situ hybridization, and receptor localization applications.
  • Single-side format ensure maximum resolution.
  • Clear base offers high contrast against blackened image for easy reading.

Amersham Hyperscreen™ Intensifying Screens  

  • Offer rapid results and high sensitivity for detecting 32P and 125I in Southern, Northern, and Western blots.
  • Light emission from calcium tungstate phosphor is fully compatible with Hyperfilm™ MP.
  • Use with Sensitize™ Pre-Flash Unit for even higher sensitivity and accurate quantitation.
  • Fine grain screens give clear band resolution.
  • Available in a full range of sizes to match Hypercassette™ and Hyperfilm sizes.

Amersham Hypercassette™ Autoradiography Cassettes  

  • Robust and chip-proof autoradiography cassettes for light-tight exposures at temperatures as low as -70°C.
  • Maximum contact between film and sample.
  • Nonporous pad gives a wipe clean surface ensuring minimum contamination.

Amersham Amplify™ Fluorographic Reagent  

  • Fast and convenient fluorographic reagent for 35S-, 14C- and 3H-labeled samples in gels.
  • Increased detection efficiency 1000-fold for 3H and 15-fold for 35S and 14C.
  • Less than two hours total preparation time.
  • Can be used with acrylamide or agarose gels with no change in protocols.
  • Odorless, inorganic and fully compatible with Sensitize™ Preflash unit and Hyperfilm™ MP.

Amersham Hypertorch™  

  • Red light darkroom torch for localized illumination.
  • Minimizes film backgrounds by only illuminating local areas of work in a darkroom.
  • Allows visibility in areas of darkroom where fixed safelights cannot reach.

Amersham Hypercoat™ Nuclear Emulsions  

  • Ready-to-use nuclear emulsions that can be used in the microautoradiography of radiolabels in tissues or cells.
  • Uniform crystal size and aggregate-free emulsions ensure high resolution.
  • Use Hypercoat LM-1 (0.2 μm crystal size) for general microautoradiography with 14C, 35S, 33P, 32P, 3H, and 125I.
  • Use Hypercoat EM-1 (0.13 μm crystal size) for high-resolution light or electron microscopy with 3H-labeled samples.
  • High silver content allows reduced exposure times.

Amersham Microscale Autoradiography Standards  

Amersham Sensitize™ Preflash Unit  

  • Specially designed flashgun for use with Hyperfilm™ ECL™ or Hyperfilm MP in conjunction with Hyperscreen™ Intensifying Screens to improve sensitivity and quantitation.
  • Most effective when detecting small amounts of radioactivity or chemiluminescent signal.
  • High quality orange filter included to ensure optimum wavelength for preflashing.
  • Sealed unit to prevent white-light leakage.
  • Calibration protocol included to ensure reproducibility.

Amersham TrackerTape™  

  • A phosphorescent tape which, when written on, can be used to label samples and corresponding autoradiographs.
  • Produces a permanent negative image in minutes.
  • Allows samples to be matched to results.
  • Ordinary marker pen is used to write on the tape.

Amersham Hyperprocessor™ Automatic Film Processor  

  • An advanced automatic film processor of compact bench top design, requiring less than 0.2 m2 of floor space.
  • Develops, fixes, washes, and dries film automatically in 2.5 min.
  • Internal control systems ensure consistent high performance.
  • Handles film sizes from 10 × 10 cm to 35 × 43 cm.
  • Can process 70 films, size 24 × 30 cm, per h.
