Amersham Hyperfilm MP vs Kodak BioMax XAR

Excellent sensitivity and superior contrast

  • High sensitivity — down to single copy gene detection.
  • Clearer results and colorless background which improves band visibility.
  • Compatibilitiy for use with all common radioisotopes.
For comparable levels of sensitivity, the emulsion in Hyperfilm MP offers a clearer colorless background compared to BioMax XAR, and the absence of yellow tint.
