There are three models in the iBright Imaging Systems family: The iBright CL750 Imaging System, the iBright CL1500 Imaging System, and the iBright FL1500 Imaging System. The iBright CL750 Imaging System offers the core essential western blot and gel imaging functions and makes the transition from the darkroom and film easy. The iBright CL1500 Imaging System expands application support and has many of the high-performance specifications of our premier iBright FL1500 model. The iBright FL1500 Imaging System features maximum application support, including fluorescence western blot imaging with up to four fluorescence channels at a time.
