ACCURIS UV TRANSILLUMINATOR, FOR VIEWING DNA AND PROTEIN IN ELECTROPHORESIS GEL
UV Transilluminator
The
new Accuris™ E3000 UV Transilluminator features a space-saving design, with a
width of only 10.5 inches, to fit perfectly in any busy laboratory. However,
the 16 x 19 cm UV viewing surface is sized to accommodate large gels or
multiple smaller gels. The illuminated surface is comprised of a special black
glass which is easy to clean, durable and scratch resistant.
An
array of high intensity UV bulbs coupled with an optimized filter provides even
illumination across the viewing surface and allows detection of small sample
quantities. The dual intensity switch can be used to lower the UV intensity to
50% to reduce DNA damage during prolonged exposure times, or switch to high
intensity (100%) for viewing weak fluorescent signals or for photo
documentation.
The
acrylic UV blocking cover allows safe viewing of samples and has two friction
hinges on the front edge to allow angling of the cover for gel access. The
cover can be positioned to 90° (straight up) to fit a gel imaging hood, such as
the Accuris SmartDoc™ imaging enclosure.
