Laboratory Equipment, Smartblue® Blue Light Transilluminator Laboratory Equipment, Smartblue® Blue Light Transilluminator

Transilluminator is a tool that assists with clear viewing of target DNA and proteins through light. Advancing from harmful methods using toxins and UV light, the SmartBlue® Transilluminator emits blue light at 465 nm, perfect for excitation of most green fluorophors, including Accuris' SmartGlow™, as well as many protein stains. Exposing DNA to this wavelength does not cause damage, and results in a much higher down stream cloning efficiency as compared to even short UV light exposures. In addition, the blue light is not damaging to the skin and eyes. SmartBlue® will not solarize and degrade in performance over time. Gel bands can be excised directly on the scratch resistant, glass viewing surface. To save energy, the power switch includes an automatic 5 minute shutoff. The SmartBlue® transilluminator requires no special shielding, however, the light does need to be filtered for visualization of the dyes. The amber cover, which rests above the viewing surface and gel, filters out the blue light, allowing the bands to be seen clearly. The cover can be placed at a 60º angle to provide easy access to the gel for band excision. For documentation, the filter cover is easily removed completely. Images obtained using the SmartBlue® Transilluminator are brighter and more balanced than those obtained using epi-illuminators, which light from the sides.
