Polaroid FB-PDC-34

This Polaroid instant camera from 1970s-1980s labeled "FisherBiotech Electrophoresis system" and "Photo-documentation camera

FB-PDC-34" was a specialized piece of lab equipment used to document the results of electrophoresis experiments.

Electrophoresis is a method used to separate DNA, RNA, or proteins, which are then visualized on a gel.

This camera was part of a system designed to capture clear, high-contrast images of these gels, allowing researchers to document and analyze their findings instantly. Before digital imaging became common, this camera provided an essential way to quickly and reliably record experimental results. It was a vital tool in molecular biology and biochemistry labs.

The camera is untested.
