Getting to KnowYour Bio-5000 Plus

The Bio-5000 Plus is a combined flatbed and film scanner for electrophoresis gels and

transparent film that also offers additional functionality to scan reflective art or prints

as large as 8.5" x 14". The Bio-5000 Plus is equipped with Microtek's patented

Emulsion Direct Imaging Technology (E.D.I.T.TM) for delivering distortion-free images

in transparency scanning. The 0.05 minimum optical density (Dmin) provides a wider

and clearer range for capturing light tones of images.

2 Bio-5000 Plus Supplement

The Bio-5000 Plus comes with several important features, including the following:

• One machine to scan all: With specially designed Leak-Free Glass Holders, the

Bio-5000 Plus allows you to scan electrophoresis gels and film directly in the

machine. It also supports scanning of reflective materials, such as photos and

prints.

• Energy-saving LED light source: Adopting LEDs as the light source, when the

scanner is detected by the system, there are no requirements for any warm-up time

before carrying out the scan, which boots your productivity and reduces energy

costs amazingly. With its stable performance, the image quality will remain

consistent even after used for a certain period of time.

• Microtek's Emulsion Direct Imaging Technology (E.D.I.T.TM): This is a patented

“glassless” scanning system built into the lower bay of Microtek’s dual media

scanners, allowing the scanner CCD to directly read the emulsion side of the film

during scanning without any interfering pane of glass. This effectively eliminates

problems associated with normal glass transparency scanning like Newton Rings,

resulting in distortion-free images.

• Auto Focus: An image improvement feature introduced to Microtek flatbeds, Auto

Focus allows the scanner to change the focus position on images through the

movement of the CCD, resulting in better image quality for a chosen area of the

scan. Auto Focus is activated by default when the scanner is on but can be

switched off manually before the final scan is carried out. The results of Auto

Focus can be best seen when used with uneven, creased photos and film.

• 4800 x 9600-dpi resolution: The exceptionally high resolution of the Bio-5000 Plus

lets you scan even postage-size images and enlarge them with amazing clarity,

with little loss of detail. The scanner’s 3.77 maximum optical density allows it to

capture a wide range of tones approximating real-life color and hues.

• Microtek ScanWizard™ Bio scanning software: This is an advanced scanner

controller program that provides many powerful, professional-level features for

scanning.

• Hi-Speed USB interface: High-Speed USB (USB 2.0) , which is capable of 480Mbps

data transfer, provides plug-and-play connectivity for a hassle-free installation.

PositioningYour Originals

Aside from the scanning of reflectives, there are two pieces of Leak-Free Glass

Holders come with your scanner package, which are specifically designed to scan

electrophoresis gels/film or transparent film.

Before proceeding your scan, take note of the information presented below:

LEAK-FREE GLASS HOLDER

This holder is specifically designed for 

the use of the gel and transparent film scanning.

Leak-Free Glass Holders (2 pieces)

Proper positioning of the scan material on the scanner is important for successful

scanning. Before starting scanning, refer to the individual section in the succeeding

pages about how to correctly position the electrophoresis gels/film, transparent film,

and reflective materials.

• Make sure that the calibration strip on the holders are kept clear

and free of obstruction at all times; no material should ever be

placed on this area. Also, make sure the calibration strip faces the

front of the scanner when you insert the holder into the lower

compartment of the Bio-5000 Plus.

• Please take note that the high temperature may cause the damage

to your electrophoresis gels, transparencies and reflective

materials. Therefore, remember to turn off the scanner and remove

the scanned materials from the scanner once you finish the scan

job.

LEAK-FREE GLASS HOLDER

This holder is specifically designed for 

the use of the gel and transparent film scanning.

Note: The Leak-Free Glass Holders require regular cleaning. To clean, use mild glass cleaning solution, and

wipe the glass plate gently with lint-free, lens-cleaning cloth to prevent leaving fiber residue.
