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.

• Provide brilliant back illumination of transparent materials
• Highly sensitive method to detect dyed double-stranded nucleic acids
• Uniquely designed with increased UV intensity and uniformity

Compact UV Transilluminators offer a basic design with 302 nm UV for illumination of stained gels and to increase the fluorescence. The 302 nm is also referred to as 300 nm or 312 nm. The spectral output of all these regions is the same.

The Dual UV Transilluminators also supply 302 nm UV plus 365 nm UV for viewing gels for an extended time and reducing photonicking damage.

Variable Intensity UV Transilluminators are compact, provide 302 nm UV and allow selection of variable intensity settings.

High setting allows UV excitation of fluorophores on gels for routine photography. Also excites gels with low sample concentration. The mid intensity setting is excellent for viewing and quick single-band excision. The low setting is used for gel positioning, multiple band excision, and focusing for photography.
