Large UV Transilluminator Dual Wavelength

Description

This dual-wavelength UV transilluminator from BT Lab Systems provides a large illumination area for visualizing fluorescently labeled biomolecules in gels. The unit features a 210 x 260 mm field of view and is equipped to emit ultraviolet light at two distinct peak wavelengths: 302 nm and 365 nm, with an 8-watt lamp. The availability of two wavelengths increases its utility for different fluorescent stains and protocols, as some dyes have optimal excitation at specific UV ranges. The large surface accommodates standard gel sizes for efficient analysis of multiple samples. This instrument is commonly used in molecular biology for tasks including DNA fragment isolation, PCR product verification, and other applications requiring gel documentation under UV light.
