Visi-Blue transilluminators are excellent for use with blue 460-470nm excitation samples and SYBR Green, SYPRO Orange and GFP stains. A special amber filter (50mm sq) is included for photography of gels. Visi-Blue transilluminators and converter plates minimize photonicking of DNA samples. The amber UV protective cover also blocks blue light transmission, which allows visualization of most samples above 500nm.

All AnalytikJena transilluminators provide UV back-illumination of transparent fluorescent materials over the full working surface of the filter area. Transilluminators are equipped with an ultraviolet blocking cover to shield the user from UV radiation. The base is painted with a high-quality, scratch-resistant powder coat.

Features

• Designed for use with GFP stains,

• High/Medium/Low intensity settings

• High setting allows for UV excitation of fluorophores on gels for routine photography.
• Medium is excellent for viewing and quick single-band excision.
• Low setting allows for positioning and preparation of gels, excising multiple bands, and focusing for photography.

• Amber cover (included) blocks blue light transmission and allows visualization of media above 500nm.
