UV-Transilluminator Benchtop - Different Wavelengths

UV Benchtop Transilluminators

Models

• Mini Single UV Transilluminator: 1 x 302 nm, 10 x 10 filter size
• Single UV-Transilluminator: 1 x 302 nm
• 2 UV-Transilluminator: 1 x 302 nm / 1 x 365 nm
  Two different wavelengths simultaneous or selectable
• 3 UV-Transilluminator: 1 x 254 nm/1 x 302 nm/1 x 365 nm
  Three different wavelengths simultaneous or selectable

Note about 302 nm wavelenght:
UVP refers to its midrange UV products as 302nm. Other manufacturers may say 300nm, 310nm or 312nm. The spectral output of these units is the same as UVP's 302nm. For further information click here.

Specifications of UV Benchtop Transilluminators

• Increased UV output and intensity
• No light flickering
• Wider intensity range with variable filter area (see models under technical data)
• Hinged, clear UV blocking cover, included with each transilluminator, is adjustable for access to the filter surface
• Fast lamp start
• Universal power supply unit
• Reduced power consumption
• Longer tube life
• Reduced weight
• Improved gel visualization and gel documentation

Information on watts and wavelengths for UV tables

• Longwave: The long-wave setting (365 nm) allows the UV excitation of fluorophores on gels for routine images.
• Midwave (302 nm): Observation and fast single-band excision.
• Shortwave (245 nm): Positioning and preparation of gels, cutting of several bands and focusing for recording.

Tips for using different wavelengths

• Easily view gels under 365nm longwave UV for extended periods of time avoiding photonicking damage.
• 302 nm can be used to increase the fluorescence for photodocumentation.
• 8-watt models provide a cost-effective alternative to High Performance UV Transilluminators

WARNING:
Transilluminators are powerful sources of ultraviolet radiation which can cause serious damage to unprotected eyes and skin. Read the ultraviolet Caution Information before operating any transilluminators.

Please wear UV Safety Glasses!
