The system shall be capable of sensitive and quantitative measurements of radioisotopic labels in polyacrylamide gels and on filters. Instrument must be capable of producing publication quality images. The scanning area needs to be approx. 20 cm x 40 cm or larger. Software associated with image analysis and to phosphor screens (one large 20 cm x 40 cm; one small 20 cm x 25 cm) to be used with scanner.
