Product Features

• Hinged UV-safety cover The integrated UV blocking cover is made from a polymer that will not fluoresce in UV light. This allows clear viewing of DNA bands through the cover, yet offers full UV blocking protection. Two friction hinges on the front of edge of the cover alow for full adjustment. position the cover horizontally for general viewing, till it an angle for gel access and band cutting, or open fully to use transilluminator.
• Powerfull bulbs for maximum fluorescence the transilluminator’s 6/10 8W bulbs evenly illuminate the viewing surface, and the 302 nm wavelength is ideal for ethedium bromide, SYBR green and many other common gel stains.
• Uniform illumination spacing of the UV bulbs, coupled with a reflector system and special diffusing filter glass provides exceptional uniformity across the viewing surface. This allows for quantification of DNA and also higher quality imaging used with a camera system.
• Transilluminators provide brilliant back illumination of transparent materials that are placed on the filter area. The transilluminators provide a highly sensitive method to detect double-stranded nucleic acids that have been labeled with fluorescent dyes such as ethidium bromide or acridine orange. Single stranded nucleic acids may be detected, but with a lower excitation 302 nm UV wavelength more sensitive for nucleic acid visualization than the 365nm model. The transilluminators are uniquely designed with increased UV intensity and uniformity, instant on capabilities, no lamp flicker and reduced electrical consumption.
