The AutoCAM 48TM is a user friendly simple to use instrument, which has been developed to compliment the BeeBlot, B20 and BabyBee instruments also available from Bee Robotics Ltd.

This instrument further automates reverse line blot strip assays, by eliminating a critical manual step involving removal of developed strips from the tray for interpretation. The complete tray slides into the AutoCAM 48, which has a built in CCD monochrome camera to scan each strip under software control. The camera feeds back the position and intensity of each band via USB for interpretation by an appropriate software package.

The AutoCAM 48 has a green ON LED, and a red SCAN LED, which illuminates during the movement of the Y axis as the camera moves above the strips. The AutoCAM 48 employs USB technology for interfacing with the PC, and has universal mains input voltage, providing 18V DC supply to the unit.
