Near-infrared fluorescence provides equal or better sensitivity than chemiluminescence – giving you low background, high signal-to-noise, multiplexed detection, and the sensitivity of any fluorescent system.

Wide Linear Range

Most fluorescent imaging systems use visible fluorescence.

• Membranes and plastics can produce high background in the visible region, due to autofluorescence and light scatter.
• This limits the sensitivity of visible fluorescence and makes it nearly impossible to detect low-abundance proteins.
• The Odyssey imagers use near-infrared fluorescence, dramatically reducing autofluorescence and light scatter.
