Introduction

The UVP Transilluminator offers the researcher uniform and intense sources of ultraviolet light
(radiation) in a compact package. The special design emits high intensity excitation UV wavelength for
back-illumination of transparent fluorescent materials. The 302nm UV back-illumination provides a
highly sensitive method to detect double-stranded nucleic acids that have been labeled with fluorescent
dyes such as ethidium bromide or acridine orange. Single stranded nucleic acids may be detected, but
with a lower excitation wavelength more sensitive for nucleic acid visualization than the 365nm model.

The transilluminator is uniquely designed with increased UV intensity and uniformity, instant on
capabilities, no lamp flicker and reduced electrical consumption.

NOTE: Though the manual refers to the midrange UV waveband as 302nm, others refer to this region
as 300nm or 312nm. The spectral output of all these regions is the same.

A Word of Caution: UV Transilluminators are powerful sources of UV radiation that will cause damage
to unprotected eyes and skin. Before operating any unit, be sure all personnel in the area are properly
protected. If not using the transilluminator with an imaging system darkroom, a UV Blocking Cover
should be attached to the transilluminator. Even though this cover blocks the ultraviolet radiation
emitted by the unit, UV Blocking Eyewear should be worn as well.
