The Typhoon 8600 is a variable mode flat bed 2-dimensional scanner. It may be used to scan phosphor screens to quantitate radioactivity in gels and blots, scans chemifluorescent samples and its dual lasers (532 nm and 635 nm) enable scanning of fluorescent dyes (including fluorescein-like dyes) in samples.
