• Uniform Illumination | Four 302 nm Bulbs
• Adjustable UV Safety Cover | Easy Access to Gels
• Large Scratch Resistant Viewing | 16.5 x 13.5 cm

The E3100 Compact UV Transilluminator has a surprisingly small footprint (just over 12 x 8 In.) yet provides industry leading performance. It will accommodate one or two mini gels on the 16.5 x 13.5 cm scratch resistant viewing surface.

The integrated UV blocking cover is made from a polymer that will not fluoresce in UV light. This allows clear viewing of DNA bands through the cover yet offers full UV blocking protection. Two friction hinges on the front edge of the cover allow for full adjustment. Position the cover horizontally for general viewing, tilt it at an angle for gel access and band cutting, or open fully to use the SmartDoc™ Imaging Enclosure (sold separately) for gel imaging with a smartphone.

The transilluminator’s four 6W bulbs evenly illuminate the viewing surface, and the 302 nm wavelength is ideal for Ethidium Bromide, SmartGlow™, SYBR Green®, Gel Green™ and many other common gel stains.  Spacing of the UV bulbs, coupled with a reflector system and special diffusing filter glass provides exceptional uniformity across the viewing surface. This allows for quantification of DNA and higher quality imaging when used with a camera system.

Gel Crusher™ Spin Column

• Creates uniform gel fragments with no chunks
• Fits in standard microtubes
• Increases DNA yield
• For use in molecular cloning, PCR, restriction digestions, sequencing, and labeling protocols
• Fits 2 mL receiver tubes 

MTC Bio’s Gel Crusher™ Spin Columns are designed to replace labor-intensive gel fragmentation steps (crush+soak method, etc.). Commonly used in molecular cloning, PCR, restriction digestions, sequencing, and labeling protocols, these spin columns can be used to fragment gel slices (typically cut with a gel extractor or razor blade) into smaller pieces.

These smaller uniform pieces will produce greater yields and can be easily pipetted using wide bore tips into an NaCl solution. This reduces the time to create a fine slurry for further elution, filtration, incubation, etc. Place the Gel Crusher™ column in the 2 mL microtube and centrifuge the column/tube assembly in a standard benchtop microcentrifuge for 5 minutes at maximum speed (generally approximately 15,000 x g).

The gel will be forced through the 600 uM holes into the 2 mL receiver tube. The crushed fragments will be small enough to be aspirated/dispensed through a pipette tip.

Reversible Racks
