ing plate can be scanned within five minutes
at 16 bits. And this high throughput is
achieved without sacrificing superior sensi-
tivity and quantitative accuracy.
tem replace standard X-ray film and process-
ing, your results are available from 10 to 100
times faster. And because Fujifilm IPs are
more sensitive than X-ray film, they capture
information unobtainable using X-ray film
autoradiography. And all of these advantages
can be enjoyed without the need for process-
ing chemicals or a darkroom. While other
phosphor imaging systems have appeared,
Fujifilm scanners and imaging plates remain
the standard by which others are measured.
The BAS-2500’s range of recommended
applications includes Molecular Biology
(1D electrophoresis, 2D electrophoresis,
DNA & Protein blots and Macro Arrays);
Pharmacokinetics & Toxicology (whole
body autoradiography and thin layer chro-
matography); and Physical and Material
Structural Analysis (X-ray crystallography,
semiconductor wafer check and non-
destructive testing).
Fully networkable
All Fujifilm research imaging systems
are easily networked for
seamless integration into
multi-user laboratory envi-
ronments. Ask your repre-
sentative for details.

The Fujifilm IP is a reusable two-dimen-
sional sensor for the detection and storage of
ionizing radiation energy in photostimulable
phosphor crystals. Fujifilm IPs are approxi-
mately 100 times more sensitive than X-ray
film, and have greater quantitative accuracy.

Imaging Plates vs. X-ray Film
The sensitivity of Fujifilm’s patented IP provides a highly
efficient, uniform and sensitive detection system far superior to
that of X-ray film. All Fujifilm IPs, except BAS-TR (tritium
detection) IPs, are reusable and there is no need for a darkroom
or development and fixing chemicals. There are Fujifilm IPs for
virtually any type of emitter, all with superior accuracy.
