TekBIO Blue Light Transilluminator
The Blue light Transilluminator is a revolutionary Transilluminator that emits essentially zero UV light and is ideal formaintaining the integrity of DNA—crucial for the success of many manipulations. Used with SYBR® Green or GelStar®,the Dark Reader allows the direct visual detection of as little as 100pg of DNA. The Blue light Transilluminator is veryeasy to use—just put the gel on the surface of the Blue light Transilluminator, then place the amber screen over the geland look at the DNA bands. For cutting out bands, the glasses can be worn. The Blue light Transilluminator is excellentfor the detection of any dye excited between 420nm and 500nm and emitting over 520nm. It also works fairly wellwith dyes excited over 500nm such as ethidium and eosin, but is not quite as sensitive as a UV box. The Blue lightTransilluminator Gel Box is a unique electrophoresis unit allowing DNA fragments to be directly viewed as theymigrate. Continuously monitor the progress of DNA fractionation so that gel only needs to be run until the DNA band(s)of interest are separated: Gel running times can be cut to 15-20 minutes. DNA bands can be excised right out of the gelavoiding the danger of damaging the gel during transfer to a transilluminator.
