TRANSILLUMINATOR

摘要

The UltraSlim-LED blue light transilluminator is a high-intensity LED light transilluminator, which allows scientists safe, sensitive viewing of a wide range of fluorescently stained DNA/RNA gels. The compact UltraSlim-LED transilluminator uses LEDs to produce an Epi-blue light with a narrow emission peak centred at 470 nm. This is not only safer but is comparable to ultraviolet (UV) light for the excitation of most fluorescent dyes, including Ethidium bromide, GelRed, GelGreen, SYBR Gold, SYBR Green, SYBRSafe, and the new UltraPower DNA safe dye. The UltraSlim-LED can be used as a portable transilluminator on the bench as the system is easy to lift, takes up very little bench space and scientists do not have to worry about stray UV light causing retinal and skin damage. The transilluminator features a special built-in glass filter lid, providing optimum viewing conditions for band cutting.
