Eastman Kodak Company’s Molecular Imaging Systems group
announced the release of the new KODAK Image Station 4000MM Pro for fluorescent and
chemiluminescent imaging in life science research and drug discovery applications. The multimodal
digital imaging system is equipped with fully automated lens and filter controls, and is
capable of precisely recalling and replicating all imaging settings from session to session for
molecular imaging applications.

The newest features in the IS4000MM Pro are its state-of-the-art precision automated lens
and excitation and emission filter systems. The precision automated lens system records the
precise f-stop, 10X zoom and focal plane parameters at each session, enabling reproducibility
and traceability without time-consuming manual steps. The system is equipped with a
proprietary design including a selectable wavelength xenon epi-illumination light source, 10
automated excitation filters ranging from 380-780 nm, and 4 automated wide-angle emission
filers ranging from 440-830 nm. The precision filter systems combine with other advanced
automation features to minimize setup time and maximize workflow efficiency and throughput
of measurements.
The IS4000MM Pro is the most versatile digital imaging system available for imaging
chemiluminescent, selectable multi-wavelength fluorescent, and chromogenic labels in gels,
blots, plates, extracted tissue samples and more. The image station also is capable of
radioisotopic and in vivo x-ray imaging with addition of optional modules and accessories.
The
IS4000MM Pro is equipped with a 4-million pixel cooled CCD camera and a 10X optical zoom
lens that deliver up to 10 microns/pixel resolution. With a dynamic range greater than 4OD, the
system provides true 16-bit imaging, producing more than 65,000 levels of grayscale data in a
single capture for accurate intensity measurement.
The IS4000MM Pro is the latest addition to the Molecular Imaging Systems organization’s
research product line of in vitro and in vivo digital imaging systems.
