Alpha Innotech

Alpha Innotech was a leading provider of digital imaging and analysis systems for the life science research market. The company specialized in systems for genomic and proteomic analysis, including gel documentation, chemiluminescence imaging, and fluorescence detection. Their flagship products, such as the FluorChem and AlphaImager lines, enabled researchers to visualize and quantify DNA, RNA, and proteins. Alpha Innotech's technology was widely used in academic, pharmaceutical, and biotechnology laboratories worldwide. The company played a significant role in the industry's transition from traditional X-ray film to digital imaging for Western blots and gel electrophoresis. In 2009, Alpha Innotech was acquired by Cell Biosciences, which later rebranded as ProteinSimple and was subsequently acquired by Bio-Techne.
