Several specially designed converter plates convert a transilluminator's 302nm ultraviolet radiation .

• To white light for viewing protein gels, coomassie blue stained or silver stained media. The Converter Plate's uniquely phosphored glass assembly (patent pending) converts the UV radiation via a white diffuser
• Convert UV:

1. To 460-470nm with the Visi-BlueT plate for viewing GFP stains
2. To 365nm UV with the UV/UV plate for preparation and gel excision

• The scratch-resistant glass is mounted in a metal housing for durability
• Rubber seal stops the plate from sliding
• Handles are situated on two sides of the plate for easy handling
• Several standard plate sizes are available; custom sizes are also available

• 302 nm midrange UV wavelength (optimal for EtBr excitation)
• Dual intensity settings (50% or 100%)
• Hinged UV Safety cover
• Use with SmartDocTM enclosure (E5000-SD) for gel imaging with a smart phone
• Compatible DNA stains: EtBr, SmartGlow™ LD and PS stain, Gel Red, Gel Green, SYBR® Green, SYBR® safe, and Diamond™ Nucleic acid Dye
• 2-yr warranty

This new UV transilluminator features a space-saving design while having 16 x 19 cm UV viewing surface to accommodate large gels or multiple smaller gels. The illuminated surface is comprised of a special black glass which is easy to clean, durable and scratch resistant.

Furthermore, an array of high intensity UV bulbs coupled with an optimized filter provides even illumination across the viewing surface and allows detection of small sample quantities. The dual intensity switch can be used to lower the UV intensity to 50% to reduce DNA damage during long exposure times, or switch to high intensity (100%) for viewing weak fluorescent signals or for photo documentation.

The acrylic UV blocking cover allows safe viewing of samples and has two friction hinges on the front edge to allow angling of the cover for gel access. The cover can be positioned to 90° (straight up) to fit a gel imaging hood, such as the SmartDoc™ imaging enclosure (E5000-SD).
