CARESTREAM BIOMAX MR FILM 

BioMax MR Film

The Benchmark Film for Life-Science Imaging

BIOMAX MR is a single emulsion film that provides maximum resolution and sensitivity for detection of 35 S, 33 P, and 14 C labeled samples. BIOMAX MR enables improved scanning for clearer autoradiograms and offers improved detection using our “T-grain” emulsion technology. It can be processed manually or automatically, and is suitable for chemiluminescent detection.

Features and Specifications

Maximum Resolution
  • State-of-the-art emulsion coated on a single side of a clear support produces maximum resolution and background clarity in the detection of all labels.
  • Makes overall reading of sequencing gels easier and more accurate.
  • Provides maximum resolution for direct detection of 32 P labeled samples, delivering sharper, crisper band responses with exceptionally fine detail.
Increased Sensitivity
  • "T-grain" emulsion technology provides provide a two-fold to four-fold increase in sensitivity compared to other films in the detection of 35 S, 33 P, and 14 C labeled samples.
  • Offers maximum resolution that results in improved detection of low-intensity bands.
Improved Scanning
  • BIOMAX MR Film's clear background and outstanding resolution enhances the digital scanning of most autoradiograms.
Chemiluminescent Detection
  • BIOMAX MR Film is also suitable for detection of most chemiluminescent labeled samples.
  • While not as sensitive as BIOMAX Light film, it delivers excellent resolution.
  • Recommended for western chemiluminescent application where exposures are relatively short.
Processing Options:
  • BIOMAX MR Film is suitable for manual or automated processing.
Darkroom Handling:
  • Autoradiography film should be handled under proper safelight conditions using a safelight lamp equipped with a Safelight Filter GBX-2 and 15 W frosted bulb (other safelights may result in increased background fog and/or unwanted image exposure). The safelight should be positioned a least four feet from the film at all times. Minimize the length of time that the film is exposed to safelight conditions.
