Introduction
The UVP Benchtop Transilluminator Series offers the researcher uniform and intense sources of ultraviolet light (radiation) in a compact package. Their special design emits either one, two or three high intensity excitation UV wavelengths for back-illumination of transparent fluorescent materials.
The 302nm UV back-illumination included in all Benchtop Transilluminators 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.
NOTE: Though UVP refers to the mid-range UV waveband as 302nm, others refer to this region as 300nm or 312nm. The spectral output of all these regions is the same.
Important Safety Information
A Word of Caution: All UVP Benchtop 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. It is preferable that the transilluminator be installed and operated in a darkroom where access and exposure is limited while the unit is in operation. If a darkroom is unavailable, UVP offers a Darkroom which provides protection from accidental exposure. For part numbers of the Darkroom, contact UVP. Each transilluminator is shipped a UV Blocking Cover. Even though this cover blocks the ultraviolet radiation emitted by the unit, UV Blocking Eyewear should be worn as well. UVP has a complete line of UV Blocking Eyewear: Spectacles, Goggles, and Faceshield designed for this purpose. For part numbers, see Section 9.
