Accuris™ E3200 UV Transilluminator

Accuris™ UV Transilluminators feature space-saving designs, to fit perfectly in any busy laboratory. Three models are available, with a range of intensity settings and viewing surface sizes. Choose your model depending on your application and the size or number of gels to analyze. 

The E3200 offers a large viewing surface of 21 x 26 cm to accommodate larger gels or multiple small gels. High powered, 14W UV bulbs provide higher sensitivity, so the smallest bands of stained nucleic acids can be visualized. The E3200 also features a control knob for continuous adjustment of the UV intensity.

All Accuris™ UV Transilluminators incorporate scratch-resistant, UV filter glass. Peak output emission of 302 nm is ideal for excitation of gels stained with Ethidium Bromide, SmartGlow, SYBR Green and other common gel stains.

Acrylic UV blocking covers allow safe viewing of samples, and friction hinges on the front edge allow positioning of the cover at an angle for gel access.

• 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.

Accuris SmartBlue™ Transilluminators

Accuris SmartBlue™ Transilluminators have been developed for viewing DNA gels stained with new, safe fluorescent dyes.  These new dyes, such as SmartGlow™, SYBR Green, Gel Green, have an excitation wavelength of 465-470 nm (visible blue light), and are safer to use than Ethidium Bromide.

• Blue light, safe for nucleic acids
• Uniform illumination (UI Technology)
• Optimal wavelength (465nm) for common safe stains
• Adjustable position, amber filter covers
• Optional amber viewing glasses: E4000-VG1

Safer for samples, safer for you: Accuris SmartBlue™ Transilluminators are the perfect partner for the most common safe DNA stains. These instruments emit blue light at a wavelength of 465 nm, perfect for excitation of most green fluorophors, including our Accuris’ SmartGlow™, SYBR Green, SYBR Safe, SYBR Gold, GelStar, GelGreen, to name a few.  SmartBlue™ transilluminators can also work for excitation of EtBr (though fluorescence is not as bright as with UV), see our Technical Bulletin with sample images.   Exposing DNA to blue wavelength does not cause molecular damage, and results in a much higher downstream cloning efficiency as compared to even short UV light exposures.  In addition, the visible blue light is not damaging to the user’s skin and is less harmful to the eyes.*

Adjustable filter cover: Both the E4101 and SB4500 transilluminators come with emission filter covers. These amber covers, which rest above the viewing surface and gel, filter out the blue light, allowing the fluorescing DNA bands to be seen clearly.  The covers can be set to a flat position for general gel viewing or can be set at an angle to provide easy access to the gel for band excision.  The SB4500 has a two-position filter cover, and the E4101 features a hinged filter cover.

Optional amber viewing glasses: Our E4000-VG1 SmartBlue™ Plus Viewing Glasses offer efficient blocking of the blue light wavelength from the transilluminators, allowing clear visualization of the fluorescing DNA bands without the filter cover in place.  These convenient glasses are recommended for users that are frequently excising DNA bands from gels.  SmartBlue™ Plus glasses also block 100% of UV wavelength so they can also be used for viewing gels on a UV transilluminator.

UI technology, bright and clear images: The bright LED light plates and filter layer provides an extremely evenly lit viewing surface. Even in ambient light, bands of DNA can clearly be seen in stained gels. Images obtained using the SmartBlue™ Transilluminator are brighter and more balanced than those obtained using epi-illuminators which light from the sides.

Reliable, durable, and long-lasting: An array of super bright LEDs with a long, 30,000 hour service life provide the light source for the SmartBlue™ Transilluminators. Unlike those in a UV transilluminator, the filters in the SmartBlue™ systems will not solarize and degrade in performance over time. Gel bands can be excised directly on the scratch resistant, glass viewing surfaces. To save energy, the power switch includes an automatic 5 minute shutoff. SmartBlue™ Transilluminators are covered by a 2 year warranty.

* SmartBlue™ products use high intensity LED lights.  Although the visible blue wavelength is significantly safer than UV light, it is recommended to not stare directly at the viewing surface without the amber cover in place.

Visi-Blue Transilluminators are designed for use with GFP stains. As compared to UV, the blue light will transmit through almost any transparent (plastic, glass, etc.) laboratory equipment. This is essential when monitoring and detecting DNA migration and protein expression in real time.

• Two models are available with surface areas as follows: 21x26cm or 20x40cm
• Select from models with 8-watts or 25-watts
• Amber cover (included) blocks blue light transmission and allows visualization of media above 500nm

• 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).
