pBLOOK, LED Transilluminator

Description

The pBLOOK from Biorbyt is a blue light transilluminator used for visualizing nucleic acids like DNA or RNA stained with fluorescent dyes such as SYBR Safe or GelRed following gel electrophoresis. It utilizes LED technology for illumination, which provides advantages including lower heat generation, reduced power consumption, and longer operational life compared to traditional mercury or halogen bulb systems. The device emits light at a specific wavelength optimal for exciting common fluorescent stains, causing the stained bands within the gel to fluoresce visibly. This instrument is a standard piece of equipment in molecular biology laboratories for tasks such as checking PCR results, verifying restriction digests, or quantifying nucleic acids.
