Kodak BioMax Film

Kodak has been the world leader in the development and manufacture of Autoradiography films for more than 30 years. Kodak films are designed specifically for Autoradiography and Chemiluminescence purposes and Kodak scientists have developed their T-Grain technology, being flatter, more tabular silver halide grains used in some of their BioMax product range, that intercept more radiation, providing enhanced sensitivity, speed and less noticeable grain in the film. With development of intensifying screens, including the innovative Transcreen, Kodak further improved the sensitivity, image quality and resolution that laboratory scientists need.

Sigma-Aldrich has been supplying Kodak Autoradiography and Chemiluminescence products for many years, supporting them with high stock levels, sophisticated logistics, easy-to-use order systems, and fast delivery to provide scientists easy access to the best products for their science.

BioMax MR
Maximum Resolution

A single emulsion (single-sided) film that provides maximum resolution and clearest background. Makes readings and digital scanning autoradiograms from sequencing gels easy and accurate.
The most sensitive film for direct ¹⁴C, ³⁵S and ³³P autoradiography. Higher resolution than BioMax XAR and MS for ³²P and ¹²⁵I direct and screen exposures, but with reduced sensitivity.

BioMax MS
Maximum Sensitivity

A double emulsion (double-sided) film on clear base. Extremely sensitive to the light emitted from BioMax intensifying screens. When used with intensifying screens, provides maximum sensitivity for 32P, 125I and other isotopes in Northern, Southern and Dot blot applications. Ideal for low intensity samples or when shorter exposure times needed.
