What is the difference between the “Normal Sensitivity” and “High Sensitivity” scan modes?

A. Selecting the “High Sensitivity” mode causes the Typhoon to scan the sample several times and then average the scan data to reduce background noise on the image. The effect is to reduce the lower limit of detection. Because it takes longer, Molecular Dynamics recommends using the high sensitivity mode only in the event that no bands are visible after a normal mode scan.
