We describe the design and implementation of a robotic solution to automate the acquisition of gel images. The soft- and hardware aspects are outlined together with the various safety aspects that need to be addressed.
To automate the acquisition of images from fluorescently stained gels, the power of the excitation laser(s) must be optimized for each sample to prevent spot saturation (or to allow unimportant spots to saturate) yet still retaining sensitivity. In this work, we describe the implementation and effectiveness of a pre-scan function in a robotic solution for the automation of 2D gel scanning.
