ODYSSEY®CLx
Infrared Imaging System

Berthold
  • Established standard in Western blot
    technology for 10+ years
  • Most versatile Odyssey system for
    numerous applications
  • Largest imaging surface of all
    Odyssey systems (25 cm x 25 cm)

The Odyssey CLx Infrared Imaging System is the next generation of the Odyssey Classic, the most trusted and established standard in Western blot technology.

The Odyssey CLx improves upon the Odyssey Classic through:

  • Simplified User Interface
  • Improved Dynamic Range
  • Time-Saving Autoscan Feature

The Odyssey CLx is the most flexible and multifunctional platform of the Odyssey imaging systems. It has been designed to accommodate numerous applications, helping you to achieve results faster. The Odyssey CLx offers ease of use with one-button image acquisition as part of an autoscan feature that provides a wide dynamic range greater than six logs. This feature, along with a simplified user interface, allows you to reach excellent results simply and efficiently.

Two Independent Infrared Detection Channels

Two separate lasers and detectors simultaneously detect both fluorescent signals. The optical system employs diode lasers and solid-state detectors with long lifetimes and very low maintenance requirements. Infrared laser excitation outperforms systems that use white light, LED light sources, and filter wheels by delivering higher intensity excitation
light to the fluorophore. A variety of fluorescent dyes and stains are compatible with the 700 nm and 800 nm excitation wavelengths of the two diode lasers in the Odyssey CLx. Spectral overlap is minimized by a 100 nm separation of the
two detection channels, and optical filtering ensures that each detector measures fluorescence from only one of the infrared dyes.
